Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other ways of addressing fundamental questions (such as mysticism, myth, or the arts) by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word "Philosophy" comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία [philosophia], which literally means "love of wisdom".

Is a philosophy and english major a bad idea for applying to law school?
Q. Hey, I'm a sophmore at Rutgers University and am planning to attend law school. Would an English and Philosophy double major best prepare me for the LSAT's and get me into a good law school?

A. i plan on being a creative writing major with a minor in music composition, and yet i would like to apply to law school. i think that doing things that aren't "pre-law" (aka political science) help you more than hurt you. in fact, i'd say they put you one step ahead of everyone else because it causes the law school admittance staff to not just pass up your application as another "pre-law political science person". it makes you different. if you do well on the LSATs without majoring in political science, it just goes to show that you are a whole lot more well-rounded than everyone else. plus, with english, you'll have the skills you'll need to be a lawyer because you'll need to be persuasive and know how to write well. with philosophy,… [cont.]

Can you state your entire philosophy or worldview in a paragraph?
Q. State your entire philosophy or worldview in a paragraph. What are your basic points? Short & sweet. If someone here is brave enough to take a crack at it, I believe it is more than possible to do. How about this enlightening jewel: S happens!! Mere is mine: We have a fundamental confusion between how our language works and how that language must be used to speak clearly about the world and events. There is a way to clear up the confusion, and it is by understanding the various analogies we use to construct theories and models, many of which we falsely believe are factually true.

A. All in this world is a balance. Disharmony with the world comes from an imbalance within your self. Don't focus so much on what is good and evil, and focus instead on what is right and wrong in the given the situation. Discard the notions of a white and black world of extremes, and focus instead on the grey, where the truth most often lies. Nothing you can buy can ever make you truly happy.

A. a good philoshopy class teachs you how to improve your thinking and views your way.. critical thinking is just.. welp critical thinking it's sorta of hard for me to explain, but... yea perhaps it does fit in the same catergory.. I perfer philoshopy class though since it can give you a brighter and different view in so many things in life

Quotes regarding Philosophy and philosophers:

Sourced

  • The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.
  • Philosophy is not the owl of Minerva that takes flight after history has been realized in order to celebrate its happy ending; rather, philosophy is subjective proposition, desire, and praxis that are applied to the event.
  • What characterizes philosophy is this "step back" from actuality into possibility—the attitude best rendered by Adorno's and Horkheimer's motto quoted by Fredric Jameson: "Not Italy itself is given here, but the proof that it exists."
  • "In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. He cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance." Ayn Rand, "Philosophy, who needs it?".
