"I only know that I know nothing"

This is the first time in my life I will post something on a blog. The question is my opinion towards, Why philosophy?

Here’s what I think. Many times I have questioned myself why should we study Philosophy. When I knew I was going to have a Philosophy class in this year, I couldn’t believe it because one of the things I hate the most is to read and see things about ancient people. I hate philosphy because for me is obsolete, something you don’t need and something you neither use in life.

After I have read the introduction I knew that I was on a correct path because they describe Philosophy as: it serves no purpose. Like I think the people we should put attention and be focused on are the one’s that discover new things and change the world. Those people are the one’s that should be heared, not the one's who only say phrases or quotes.

It’s intresting to know that philosophy and science are related, or well, cloesely related. With philosophy we have answers to questions and not solutions. This is when I start to think that Philosophy isn’t obsolete, and therefore exists for a reason, and because it exists, it means that it should be teached generation after generation. Philosophy has been a way of inspiration for many scientists, and therefore this two will always try to answer any question related to life.

We can conclude that Philosophy exists and is teached for a reason. With philosophy we widen our own personal view of the world, while scientists only answer questions and give possible solutions to our problems. Philosophy let’s us think more closely about a problem and let’s us think beyond a simple solution that a scientist would gave us. Philosophy like I have said before opens our mind wider and make us think beyond a simple answer we have to a problem.
