When we are about the age 14 years of age we start thinking about
things in a philosophical sense. We start using our own thoughts as our own. We
are less reliant on our parents and trying to define ourselves.
- What really exist?
- Can we really know anything?
- Is anything right or wrong?
- Does life have meaning?
- Is death the end?
We can see that we look at things differently our nature can
turn our basic understanding into puzzles.
Philosophy is different than science or mathematics.
Philosophy doesn’t rely on experiments or observation; but
on thoughts.
There is no formal of how to think or how philosophy works.
There is no proof.
Philosophy is done by:
- Arguing
- Trying out ideas
- Thinking of ways to argue against them
- Wondering how they really work
- Asking questions
Main concern in philosophy to question and understand very
common ideas; everyday thoughts.
Example:
Historian- What happens in the past?
Philosophers- What is time?
