Answer 2

Philosophy is sitting around all day trying to discover what the h**l it is that you're wondering about, hoping you'll have a brain f**t and come up with some crazy breakthrough.

Answer 3

Philosophy is "the study of the most general and abstract features of the world and categories with which we think: mind, matter, reason, proof, truth etc. In philosophy, the concepts by which we approach the world themselves become the topic of enquiry."[1] The main branches of philosophy are logic, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics,[2] as well as philosophy of mind, political philosophy, and aesthetics. [3]. Its investigations use reason, striving to make no unexamined assumptions.[4]

The word philosophy is of Ancient Greek origin: φιλοσοφία (philosophía), meaning "love of knowledge", "love of wisdom".[5][6][7]

The philosophers of East and South Asia are discussed in Eastern philosophy, while the philosophers of North Africa and the Middle East, because of their strong interactions with Europe, are usually considered part of Western philosophy.
