Can a person make up their own philosophy?

Question

And if they can, how is it indistinguishable from lying?

Answer 1

if they can support it with sound reasoning and they can defend it, then theres no reason that they cannot make up a new philosophy.  

Answer 2

...your philosophy is for yourself in your approach to dealing with various life situations...

...lying is deceiving another for personal purposes...

Answer 4

Each person develops her own philosophy.

Usually it is less articulated.

The measure of a philosophy, or perspective on various issues, is logic:  are the statements and arguments valid and sound?

Those two conditions, plus personal awareness and sincerity, distinguish a philosophy from falsity and inauthenticity.

"A Philosophy of Universality," O. M. Aivanhov.

Answer 5

Philosophy,philosophy. Note upper case and lower case 'p'. We all have to adopt a philosophy of some sort, even if we don't use such a grand name for it, it is still a philosophy  of sorts,to maintain some sort of order in our lives.

Though I don't see the connection with 'lying'.

Answer 6

yeah they can... if it sounds reasonable.
