The term “philosophy” quite literally means, “love of wisdom.” In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity we undertake when we seek to understand the fundamental truths about ourselves, the world in which we live, and our relationships to the world and to each other. Those of us who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking, answering, and arguing for their answers to lifes most basic questions. Like, why am I here and why am I standing in a pile of shit?
