Education is the process of learning how to make decisions and discover fact.
Philosophy is the field that provides a rigorous study of how we learn and how we can make better decisions through critical thinking and logic. It also helps us weed out beliefs from facts. My favorite philosopher is Epicurus, because he was wise enough to see the connection between desires and our behavior, elevating hedonism as something practical. My favorite philosopher is Heraclitus, for we think, or thought alike. Philosophy is concerned with issues of enduring importance to humankind.
