Philosophy is the search for truth, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Philosophy is an intellectual discipline that seeks to understand fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
It involves critical thinking, reasoning, analysis, and argumentation.
Philosophers use logic, evidence, and rationality to explore philosophical problems.
