K

Queen of the Sciences - ANS many philosophers say that it is a science, in fact, the "queen of

YC
Philosophy in Greek as 'philein' + 'sophia' - ANS From the Greek (philein, sophia) is the 'love
of wisdom' - it is an attitude of critical and systematic thoughtfulness rather than a particular
subject matter

Assumptions and Presuppositions - ANS we all have some opinions about God, about
mortality and its principles, about the nature of man and nature of the universe. but because we
D

haven't questioned them, they are merely the assumptions of our thinking. We believe many
things without having thought about them, merely assuming them, sometimes without evidence
or good reasons. what the study of philosophy does for us is to make our ideas explicit, to give
U


us the means to defend our presuppositions, and to make alternative suppositions available to
us as well.
ST




Criticism and Argument - ANS to be critical means to examine carefully and cautiously, being
willing, necessary, to change one's own beliefs. it does not need to be nasty or destructive.
there is "constructive criticism" as well. And to "argue" does not mean to "have a fight"; an
Argument is nothing less than an attempt to justify our beliefs, to back them up with good
reasons

Four approaches to doing philosophy - ANS 1. Definitions
2. Logic and Proof
3. Being Visionary
