Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It is distinguished from other ways of addressing fundamental questions (such as mysticism, myth, or the arts) by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word "Philosophy" comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία [philosophia], which literally means "love of wisdom".

What is the Philosophy video series with the cartoon people discussing philosophy?
Q. The series i'm thinking of is available on Youtube. It features brightly coloured cartoon people that are strange-looking and stylized. As they talk, the images move and shift. There is a few movies, they all feature these cartoons discussing philosophy in everyday situations; in bed, in a restaurant, etc. Does anyone know what i'm talking about? Oh, i think it IS waking life. Thanks!

If philosophy start as the first knowledge dating back at the time of ancient?
Q. and, why philosophy then is next to science, the fact is knowledge start all at philosophy.
Asked by Benito V - Fri Oct 5 02:13:48 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Knowledge existed hundreds of years before philosophy. Philosophy did not start at the first knowledge, it started at the first knowledge of wisdom. Science is not discovery, it is the method behind discovery. Discovery alone requires knowledge...the method to classify it requires wisdom, this is why science was founded after the origin and rise of philosophy. Knowledge has expanded exponentially at a shocking pace over the last 3 thousand years. Yet, the wisest amongst us know that all of knowledge is based on a foundation of wisdom...a foundation of the one true kernel of knowledge...the wisest all know that all we know is that we know nothing.

What is the science or philosophy behind how humans create different roles in society?
Q. I'm looking for more information on the reason why or details on how humans managed to start dividing tasks and beginning creating communities. I'm trying to find out some science or philosophy on why humans have created different roles in society and the importance of each person roles in society. Any information to answer the question or suggestion for books or websites would be great.

A. From the very beginning? Delegation of work started with skill for the job, right? We delegate work based on the needs of the household, which literally means economy. We need food, shelter, safety. We create jobs to fill those needs and as we need less people for one sector, we create new sectors to give people purpose.

Quotes regarding Philosophy and philosophers:

Sourced

  • The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.
  • Philosophy is not the owl of Minerva that takes flight after history has been realized in order to celebrate its happy ending; rather, philosophy is subjective proposition, desire, and praxis that are applied to the event.
  • What characterizes philosophy is this "step back" from actuality into possibility—the attitude best rendered by Adorno's and Horkheimer's motto quoted by Fredric Jameson: "Not Italy itself is given here, but the proof that it exists."
  • "In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. He cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance." Ayn Rand, "Philosophy, who needs it?".
