Philosophy 101

Orias

So, does anyone here have any knowledge on the essential points of philosophy? I'll give you a hint, there is five!

So lets narrow it down to, how important is philosophy? And, what exactly is the purpose of pursuing philosophical thought? How do the five most relative points of philosophy, expound upon all of the natural thought processes and its application to the world beyond the philosophers eyes?

Close but no cigar :D

Should I tell? You probably actually already know what they are.

Ok, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and politics.

Do we know why these sum up the general understanding of philosophy?

Hmmmm. Sounds like questions to a homework assignment. ;) I'll pass, thank you.

Homework?

I'm trying to make a conclusive point, but I guess it does seem rather dull to some.

Replace politics with ontology and add logic.

Vitally important for living a good life, but it need not be philosophy read from books. Everyone's a philosopher and psychologist to one degree or another.

And, what exactly is the purpose of pursuing philosophical thought?

Living the life according to one's will - with clarity in formulating that will.

How do the five most relative points of philosophy, expound upon all of the natural thought processes and its application to the world beyond the philosophers eyes?

Can you rephrase this?

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
What do you mean by points? Like, types of philosophy? (metaphysics, morality, epistemology, ontology, and aesthetics)
