You can negate all existence and meaning through philosophy. Of course, you can argue that philosophical reasoning is limited and refutes itself, but that is also a philosophical argument.

philosophy

Philosophy is to your mind, what physical conditioning is to your body. It has very few practical applications, just like weight-lifting has very few practical applications. However, by teaching yourself to view the world in other ways (most of which are entirely theoretical) you can better understand your own reality. You become healthier physically through exercise, and you get healthier mentally through philosophy.

There really IS a high corrolation of people who study philosophy to people who use drugs. The reason being that many people use psychotropic and hallucinagetic drugs to expand their mind, and philosophy does the same thing.

Many people also falsely claim Hinduism, Buddhism, and other "eastern" religions to be philosophy, as a large portion of their teachings are aimed at expanding the mind as well. The reality is that all theology falls under the VERY general blanket of philosophy. (see example #2)

Most philosophy majors are either: intellectuals, druggies, or pompous asses.
#1. Fields closely tied to philosophy: law, religion, art, film, writing, psychology, business.

#2. Ignorant person: Why would I need philosophy? The Lord tells me everything I need to know about life.

Philosopher: Than why are there so many sects of Christianity?

Ignorant person: Because there's more than one way to interpret the word of God. We're human and can't know exactly what God means.

Philosopher: Interpreting information when there can be no proof at the time of interpritation is exactly what philosophy is used for.

Ignorant person: Yeah, well I don't need it. My parents told me which one is right.

philosophy

The love for knowladge. The longing for it.
Socrotes brought it into homes of men and ignorance and self destruction drove it out. The perfection of human nature. The ability to take any event and look at it with a rational and open minded point of view without being subjective. Remaining calm threw any tragedy and appreciating beauty in everything.
Shane: Wow stop and look at the clouds and the sky and the pure innocence of nature.
Dave: {laughing} Thats so funny.
Shane: It hurts how much you dont know but it is just philosophy helping me appreciate life.
Dave: What?

Philosophyism

Absolutely certain and supreme explanations in practice or theory for all aspects of existence experienced by human beings.

Philosophyism abjures all knowledge creating disciplines of empirical modeling as ultimately inferior modes of thinking about the human condition.
I can imagine X or not imagine X, therefore it’s true as no evidence is technically required. Now buy my book and heed what I say or there may be increased risks of negative consequences in this life and/or the afterlife. Amen to philosophyism.
