Philosophy is quite unlike any other field.
It is unique both in its methods and in the nature and breadth of its
subject matter. Philosophy pursues questions in every dimension of human
life, and its techniques apply to problems in any field of study or
endeavour. No brief definition expresses the richness and variety of
philosophy. It may be described in many ways. It is a reasoned pursuit
of fundamental truths, a quest for understanding, a study of principles
of conduct. It seeks to establish standards of evidence, to provide
rational methods of resolving conflicts, and to create techniques for
evaluating ideas and arguments. Philosophy develops the capacity to
see the world from the perspective of other individuals and other cultures;
it enhances one's ability to perceive the relationships among the various
fields of study; and it deepens one's sense of the meaning and varieties
of human experience. (more...)
