    What is the
    study of
    philosophy?
    Philosophy is the study of general and
    fundamental questions about existence,
    knowledge, values, reason, mind, and
    language. Such questions are often posed
    as problems to be studied or resolved.
    Uses tools of logic and reason to analyze the
    ways in which humans experience the
    world.
    It teaches critical thinking, close reading,
    clear writing, and logical analysis; it uses
    these to understand the language we use to
    describe the world, and our place within it.
    In the broadest
    sense, nature is the
    natural, physical, or
    material world or 
    universe.

    two concepts.
    Why is it important
    to know the nature
    of philosophy?
    All human beings orient their lives
    around ideas about what reality is like,
    that they believe explain their
    experiences, and ideas about
    what reality and human
    beings should be like, that they
    use to guide their behavior.

    ethics? reality, and existence, especially
    when considered as an academic
    discipline. Ethics are the moral
    principles that govern a person's
    behavior or the conducting of an
    activity.
    What is the difference between ethics and
    morality?
    Ethics vs. Morals
    Ethics refer to rules provided by an external
    source, codes of conduct in workplaces or
    principles in religions. 
    Morals refer to an individual's own principles
    regarding right and wrong.
    WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO
    UNDERSTAND PHILOSOPHY?
    This is both because philosophy touches so many
    subjects and, especially, because many of its methods
    can be used in any field. The study
    of philosophy helps us to enhance our ability to
    solve problems, our communication skills, our
    persuasive powers, and our writing skills.
    PHILOSOPHY is a study that seeks to
    understand the mysteries of existence and
    reality. It tries to discover the nature of truth
    and knowledge and to find what is of basic
    value and importance in life. It also examines
    the relationships between humanity and
    nature and between the individual and
    society.
    We all need personal philosophy in life or we
    risk wandering, and responding to random
    stimuli and information with little or no
    impact on our long-term goals.
    A philosophy of life is an overall vision or
    attitude toward life and the purpose of it.
    Human activities are limited by time, and
    death.
