What is Philosophy?

The study of philosophy develops our ability to make sense of ourselves and our surroundings.  Philosophers apply critical thinking to questions of values and beliefs in order to understand reality, clarify the nature of interactions between individuals and society, and come to terms with the problems of existence and ultimate values.  Different schools of thought in economics, history, psychology, and education are based upon differences in philosophy.  Political and religious beliefs and codes of ethic are based on philosophical assumptions.  Students who study philosophy engage in the examination of their own beliefs, the resolution of conflicts, the search for a purpose to life, and the development of a basis for ethical decisions.
