PHILOSOPHY AND ITS VALUE

 

Philosophy is the base upon which critical thinking is built. Philosophy raises significant issues and attempts to find answers to them. It motivates us to think critically about the world; it is the cornerstone of all knowledge, and when used correctly, it may offer us with enormous rewards. In the course of studying philosophy, students develop critical, interpretive, and evaluative skills. The study of contemporary techniques and acknowledged solutions to philosophical concerns is part of philosophy education. Students study about key people and accomplishments in philosophy history, as well as current trends.

VALUE OF PHILOSOPHY IN OUR LIFE

It's natural to wonder and be curious, but we don't owe it to ourselves to do so. We enjoy asking questions and thinking about possibilities. Philosophical study is beneficial if it results in a small amount of knowledge and insight, and argues. However, unless it offers monetary advantages, you may not appreciate intellect or information. For examples the deep questions from the kids, questions arise when we see sensitive issues related with culture, gender, morality and supernatural powers. When the questions are arisen we are supposed to think about the facts critically. From there we gain clarifications for most of our problems by rejecting unnecessary arguments. In the past, we may have argued that philosophical reasoning shielded us against unsupported ideology, unjustified authority, unfounded beliefs, baseless propaganda, and doubtful cultural ideals. This does not necessitate a rejection of these diverse ideas, beliefs, and values, but rather a consideration of them. From here, we can understand that the philosophy value our thinking ability. And also, philosophy alters us by raising our awareness, decreasing our moralism, refining our critical thinking abilities, and assisting us in distinguishing between truth and untruth.

HOW TO LEARN PHILOSOPHY?

Starting with ignorance is beneficial since our nature as humans is to become rooted in stagnant or demanding belief systems. It takes a certain level of humility to accept that we don't know something or that we may be mistaken about anything. True progress, however, is impossible without self-examination. Then, carefully and passionately read. In my point of view, the reader must read slowly and actively in order to learn philosophy. We have to read a lot when studying philosophy. We must read while comprehending the substance, the author's emotion, and the work's core idea. When you are at your most awake, read. Begin reading at whatever time of day you find most suitable to concentration. When are you usually the most awake and productive? If necessary, get yourself energized with a hot beverage. We're talking about reading some difficult stuff here, and it's better to approach your studies while you're fresh and in the optimal state of mind to enhance comprehension. Start with whatever provokes your curiosity the most. Examine the summary of the book you wish to read carefully. This will offer you an overview of the book and where the author is aiming, so you won't be taken aback halfway through. Some writings are concerned with political philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, logic, and other topics.

HOW DO WE APPLY PHILOSOPHY IN OUR LIFE?

You don't have to ponder huge questions like the purpose of life or if we actually exist. Small questions may be equally as significant as larger ones, which are frequently thought to be larger than they are. When someone says, "It's simply the way it is," consider what the true reasons may be. Inquiring about items we frequently take for granted might provide surprising results. Consider the following: "Why do you behave as you do? What determines if something is correct or incorrect?" Consider your own life as well as the lives of those around you. What kind of life do you wish to live? Is there anything that is absolutely necessary for a happy life? What is the proper way to treat one another? What should a genuine friendship look like? How does one cope with cruel people? Is any punishment appropriate or necessary? There are just too many additional questions you might ask about life to count. Life can be really amazing. Allow your mind to wander. You might be surprised by the answers you come up with, as well as the many topics you find yourself thinking about. Philosophy may improve your life and keep you from being bored.

ADVANTAGES OF PHILOSOPHY

The techniques provided by philosophy are extremely useful in higher education and in the workplace. Students are taught how to write effectively and read attentively and critically; they are taught how to recognize faulty reasoning and avoid it in their writing and work. Despite the relatively abstract nature of philosophers' issues, the tools philosophy offers are greatly sought for by employers. Philosophy students learn how to ask excellent questions and discern between those that are valuable and those that are not. Students discover the roots of the ideas and concepts that comprise our shared intellectual language. They witness directly a shared and diverse humanity. Investigating issues frees us from bias, fostering autonomy, self-government, and individuation.

As the Students, we can gain critical, interpretative, and evaluative abilities in the course of philosophy, which may be regarded as the most valuable in the long run. Education in philosophy include studying current methodologies and recognized responses to philosophical issues, as well as learning about significant personalities and advances in the history of philosophy. Philosophy has a crucial role.
