When we theorize, we are thinking of a possibility. Usually, we ask “What if?” questions while forming or explaining a theory. The nice thing is that there’s no wrong answer with philosophy. It’s all about opinion and theory. Here are some theory examples:• What if we are all living in a dream? • What if you are like the main character in a story, your life if just about what you do, and everyone else is like a robot?

Theorizing 

Many have different theories about possibility. But the thing about possibilities is that no one has really ever proven anything, because it’s always possible that they’re wrong. That makes possibility a very philosophical subject, because it makes people wonder.

Possibilities

Here is something to think about. • In an infinite amount of possibilities, only one -the one that will occur- is possible. But in a bag of objects, is it possible to pull out any one of them? These are two different possibilities !

A Thought On Possibilities

You can form your own theories about things whenever you want! The thing is, everyone is capable of it. Also, philosophy can boost your creativity and drastically change the way you look at the the world.

When trying to answer big questions, they consider everything, and question everything

Becoming An Unofficial Philosopher

If you don’t know anything, it should be pretty easy to form questions. But if you can’t, here are a few to get you started:• What makes an action the ‘right’ action? • How can we be so sure of what we see in front of us? • What makes people believe in science and everything else we’re told?

Philosophy has been studied for thousands of years. It involves the use of reason and argument to search for the truth about reality - about the nature of things, ethics, aesthetics, language, the mind, God and everything else.
