What is Philosophy?
Introduction
Hello and welcome to this new series on philosophy. It has been a
topic of discussion for quite some time now. Many times, I have
wondered whether it will be well received or not, considering it is
a complex subject. However, I decided to take a chance and try
an experiment. After a few hours of discussion today, your
interest in philosophy will either increase or fade away forever.
But something will happen. Let's start with a beautiful poem by
modern Hindi poet Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena to understand what
philosophy is.
But first, we need to understand what philosophy is all about.
What is Philosophy?
Philosophy is a subject that deals with fundamental questions
about existence, reality, knowledge, values, and reasoning. It is
the study of the nature of the universe and the meaning of life.
Philosophy is an attempt to answer the most profound questions
about human existence, such as:
What is the meaning of life?
What is the nature of reality?
What is the basis of knowledge?
What is the source of morality?
Philosophy is a complex subject that requires critical thinking and
reasoning to understand. It is not a subject that can be
understood in a day or two. However, it is a subject that can be
learned and understood with patience and perseverance.
There was a renowned poet who I loved reciting during my school
days. His poem had a unique concept where Ram, Mao, and a
potato came out of three different mouths after one of them got
shot. The post mortem report stated that the first two were full
and it was over. This verse holds a deep meaning that if you can
comprehend it, you are all set to understand Philosophy. It
