What
is Philosophy?
Philosophy is the
oldest of all academic disciplines and that which links them them
all together. The term "Philosophy" literally means "love of knowledge",
and it is truly the wonder and joy of the process of trying to
understand the world around us. In studying philosophy, one encounters
the roots of all the other disciplines: the sciences, the arts,
history, psychology and literature, among others. Philosophy asks
the enduring questions: What is the nature of the world around
us? Who are we? Is there any life beyond this one? How is it possible
to know anything? What gives life meaning? What are the responsibilities
and significance of being human?
