This page is still in development as I add terms and other interesting philosophical things. Philosophy is one of those words and concepts that people make a bigger deal out of than it really is, meaning they think it is some highly specialized field that only someone with those kinds of interests has any use for. It doesn't apparently have any practical use beyond sitting around a university talking or writing. But this is one of many misconceptions that I'd like to dispel.
Philosophy is very practical.
It underscores everything. There isn't a single field of pursuit that doesn't involve philosophy. At the very least, everyone has a use for ethics and morality. Philosophy helps people interact with people. As far as I'm concerned this makes it an extremely important field of study.
