philosophy or however you spell it

what does philosophy actually mean??

 

it's proofs without the math.......

edit: sorry that was flippand, in greek it's love of knowledge or some such, philosophy in a modern sense is a search for truth through refinement of ideas through logic that appear much the same as a mathematical proof establishing one point at a time....

 

NOUN:
pl. phi·los·o·phies

1. Love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.
2. Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality, knowledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
3. A system of thought based on or involving such inquiry: the philosophy of Hume.
4. The critical analysis of fundamental assumptions or beliefs.
5. The disciplines presented in university curriculums of science and the liberal arts, except medicine, law, and theology.
6. The discipline comprising logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology.
7. A set of ideas or beliefs relating to a particular field or activity; an underlying theory: an original philosophy of advertising.
8. A system of values by which one lives: has an unusual philosophy of life.

 

edited my last post, it's worth reading now if you ignore the misspelling

 

I rather like that - is it yours (if I may ask)

 

thanks for the help, so basically it is finding out shit you have no clue about?

 

I never heard anyone else say it

it's the simplist I know how to say it, I suppose it is "mine"

although it is no more mine really than "wait while I shove this hot poker up my ass and cut off my penis" is george carlins

 

Study of knowledge.

 

philosophy is what you think about when you eat lots of shrooms
