Help What IS Philosophy?
What is Philosophy in your opinion? What does it mean to you? Are you capable of thinking? Is it, like some have said, "the art of thinking?" Here is what Wikipedia has on Philosophy.

It's the study of everything. Just by sitting here concentrating I can tell you that everyone is full of themselves and their own feces. Wow, that's important.

Philosophy is an attempt to understand the human condition. Its the root of most artistic fields and several scientific areas (such as psychology).

LOL. Nice. I don't think you have to concentrate very hard to figure that one out though

I think it is the study of the big picture. Noticing trends and commonalities in everything. There is a focus on detail but always to understand something larger, a universal truth. It is the quest for truth.
