Happy??? World Philosophy Day!

What even is Philosophy?

Philosophy (from Greek φιλοσοφία, philosophia, literally “love of wisdom.

Simply, Philosophy is how we think about the World, the Universe and Society. Its about questioning our very existence, with thought. The ideas with Philopsopy are generally general and can be quiet abstract.

I consider myself to be an uneducated Philosopher. Mainly because I have never been to school to pass a course for it. Sometimes my emotions and my brain exploding for not being able to understand certain people and situations. I tend to not be able to think “Why”.

Being a philosopher though is something that I’ve always wanted to achieve. Not necessarily to get a Certificate to show that I’ve passed a course. Just in my own mind, being able to discuss important things with no emotions and calmly.

Some of the most famous Philosophers are:

• Plato (Founder and Teacher of Aristotle)
• Aristotle
• Socrates
• Sigmund Freud
• Henry David Thoreau
• Laozi
• Confucious
• Ayn Rand (so few women and I don’t really like her)
• Voltaire
