Philosophy is a discipline that explores fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Here’s a brief introduction to help beginners understand what philosophy is all about:

What is Philosophy?

The term "philosophy" comes from the Greek words "philo" (love) and "sophia" (wisdom), meaning the love of wisdom. It involves the study of general and fundamental questions about reality and our place in it. Philosophers seek to understand the nature of the world, the reasons we think the way we do, and how we should live our lives.
