Why Do We Have Philosophy?
The above question was asked with more words on quora on Nov 26 2021.
May I? As we enter the era of the ultimate face-off of victim vs perpetrator, philosophy may be our best friend.
Is philosophy a study of wisdom, is philosophy a love of wisdom (philo sophia). Is philosophy a study of theories? Is philosophy, creating theories? Is philosophy a theory, is philosophy about basic things such as nature, is philosophy an instructor of behavior? is philosophy a study of outcomes of behavior?
The answer to the above question(s) is yes. Philosophy, the word, translates to original meaning of loving wisdom. The reason we have philosphy and pholosophers is to become more wise and to learn to love that through the example of philosophers.
