Four Reasons Why Philosophy Is As Relevant As Ever

Philosophy matters because at some point in our lives we must all ask and answer these questions for ourselves.

• What is true?
• Why do I believe it to be true?
• How should I live based on what I believe?

A failure to answer one or more of these questions will quickly result in what we generally label as a mental or emotional crisis—we fall into depression, succumb to anxiety, struggle to find any sense of meaning or purpose.

Philosophy teaches us the fundamental techniques for finding meaning and purpose in a world where there is no given meaning, no cosmic purpose. Philosophy gives us tools to determine what is likely to be important and true and what is likely frivolous and made-up.

Philosophy Is As Relevant As Ever. Why?

1. Philosophy is the foundation of critical thinking.
2. Science can’t answer every question.
3. Philosophy has particular meaning in the business world.
4. Ancient philosophers continue to influence humanity.
