see the thing about philosophy is, that nobody understands what it really is, so first we need to examined what really makes it, 5 syllables, ph-ilo-so-ph-y, nobody knows what they mean and thats why we will never understand it

Philosophy is what you make it, it is everyone's opinions and perspectives and points of view on why life is so important. There are many forms of philosophy, from beliefs of the theological to government, to free will and determinism, to moral codes to live by, it is truely an enigma that can only be defined in an individual's own head no matter how many times you read LEVIATHON.
