The Essence of Philosophy

Philosophy grapples with profound questions about existence, ethics, and meaning. Unlike religion, which relies on faith, philosophy uses reason to address life's uncertainties. This intellectual journey helps us navigate the fear of death and understand our place in the world.

  • Philosophy contemplates reality, ethics, and wisdom.
  • It seeks to overcome fear through understanding and reason.
  • Philosophy's three stages: theory, ethics, and wisdom.

"Philosophy begins in wonder." – Socrates
