Detailed explanation-1: -Bertrand Russell wrote that philosophy is the attempt to answer “ultimate questions”-questions about the clarity, coherence, or reasonableness of those concepts and presuppositions that non-philosophers presume to be intelligible or obviously true.
Detailed explanation-2: -Philosophy raises questions that address fundamental issues and beliefs and which require complex thinking rather than empirical research to answer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Quite literally, the term “philosophy” means, “love of wisdom.” In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -This question of “what is the good life” is likely the most important philosophical question humans face. Important in the sense of being the question that must be asked at just about every minute in our life. Is what I am doing right now the “best” thing I could be doing right now?
