Your attitude to philosophy?

Do you take it as a real science, which helps you to understand the world's history and nature and which ought to be studied; or do you think it's smth that doesn't even exist (artificial science), just plenty of different useless thoughts&views? On the whole, are you interested in it?

  • I love philosophy

    I actually see it as an art, but instead of touching my emotions, it touches my thoughts, of course, without the hassle other fields (such as science and math) bring

    It is luxurious :)

  • I love philosophy. Philosophy itself means a love of wisdom. I don't think of it as a science exactly, more of art and humanities. Something that is essential in our daily lives, though we might not think about it. It deals with our existence, whether or not God truly exists, ethics, metaphysics, what we consider right and wrong. Really everything our world is based on is a form of philosophy. Maybe you even have a personal philosophy, something you build your life around to guide you in the right direction. If you don't maybe you should consider it!

  • Philosophy is a lovely way to waste time. It is the only one searching for THE answer and te only one getting away from it because of its own inquisitive nature. It is not a science, nor a form of art, it is just a game meant to make our brain unlock the other 90% that aren't used. We haven't succeed to unlock those 90% yet...

  • I really like philosophy, but in my opinion it is a great mistake to think it as a science. It is the great mistake which many ancient philosophers made. But nowadays we need philosophy as the main subject in every work. a good doctor can't be really good if he hasn't ethic and understanding for sick people. only philosophy can give this particular caution to other people and the ethic that we really need. A world without ethic (or without philosophy) is a world of insane people who only care disorder and violence.

  • the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.

    Philosophy isn't a science but more or a way to explain life and how we live it. It is the ultimate seeking of truth. I love philosophy because its not bogged down with god or religion you can study it and find the parts that are best for you. I find that the existentialist views are best for me.

  • Many of the great philosophers were mathmaticians, or scientists. Phiosophy is the science of thinking. It can be an art or science, but all science is art in a sense. Yes, it is needed to help us find our way. It relies not on dogma as does religion.

  • Most of the time philosophy bores me because a lot of it is mental masturbation.

  • i think we all insane and mad trough an animals eye or other species
