10- I love it ! But I don't know what it is

"How many angels fit on the head of a pin?"

This absurd question is all I remember from the Philosophy 101 class I took as a college Freshman.

10 - For me Philosophy is a means of thinking. Of relating yourself to Nature and what we are trying to discover as reality. Logic, honesty, truth, reason, caring for others, many of the terms I consider to be used in Philosophy. Those who have come before us have left us with their answers to the problems they had, we can learn from them and progress forward, or we can make up shit and fall behind.

About the only credo that interests me is "Do no harm."

I like thinking about life, but I don't spend a lot of time learning what others think about life. For me it's more of a personal and ever changing thing.

It is important for everyone, as we each have a philosophy under which we operate. Whether we know it or not.

Learning what famous philosophers thought - 3.

Organizing my life around a coherent worldview - 15.

For me it is as important as someone else's opinion, which I assign importance to, depending on how much sense it makes to me. That said, I am a whole lot more attracted to science.

It is crucially important to know oneself, what one believes and why, Active study of philosophy at some time in one's life helps, and the process is always aided by seeking new knowledge.Building new knowledge into one's self system is the matter of integration of knowledge, perceptions, and actions into that self-system -- along with constant reflection and evaluation. That is philosophy in action.

I Have been trying to avoid philosophy for some years now and replace it with more certainty i.e.science. Philosophy has no "Crunch" point where you decide between alternatives. However there are so many uncertainties about it is very easy to slip into devising "wise statements" without actually proving anything. I do not think the human race will eliminate philosophy for a long time yet.

10. I think philosophy is one of the bases of all knowledge. Whether or not we realize we are USING philosophy or not it is completely vital to our society.
