Philosophodoxia:
Believing that doing philosophy is worth doing for its own sake, despite the fact that the one philosophizing and those who follow, will all die. Paradoxically, in order to assert this is to make a philosophical claim.
To have philosophodoxia is to love philosophy and philosophizing even though it is ultimately fruitless. It is a chasing after the wind. It is to engage in mental masturbation. It’s to be in love with one’s own intellectual life and derive pleasure from it even though it’s ultimately

Philosophers, especially atheist philosophers, have a position of philosophodoxia for granted without considering that they are wasting their time. This mentality is often seen when they mock nihilists/nihilism as being pseudo-philosophical and resorting to calling those who hold that position as “adolescent”, “juvenile”, “pseudo-intellectual”, etc...

Get the The Born to Shit, Forced to Wipe Philosophy mug.A field of study which can essentially be divided into the subfields of epistemology, metaphysics and ethics.
Epistemology is the study of knowledge, how it is gained and to what degree it is possible.
Metaphysics is the study of what exists, how it exists and how we define it.
Ethics is the attempt, having decided upon theories of knowledge and existence, to create a coherent way of living.
Contrary to popular belief, philosophy is not, or at least does not have to be, useless. If everyone thought carefully about what they believe, why they believe it and how they should act accordingly the world would be a better place. Everyone from politicians to scientists to soccer-moms must make decisions of ethics which affect them and those around them.

Sartre (a major figure in philosophy) says of epistemology that we cannot have absolute knowledge, of metaphysics that the world is subjective, and of ethics that by existing we choose ourselvse and the world.
