The art of complicating simple ideas so that the majourity of the population cannot understand. This makes the philosipher seem intelligent. Even though most of philosophy is the most irrelevant load of horse shit, there is a small amount of questions and ideas that are worth while thinking about.
He philosophated the sentence beyond necessary understanding.
The student then went and became very good at philosophy and talked shit until he died.

An elite field of study that, at a high level, counteratacks theology. Studies the why of our ways and the truth of our excistence to a level that is higher and more logical than religious explanations. Atheists and Humanists base their beliefs in philosophy, which has lead them to a mental state that is superior to that of the god-fearer.
In my writings (story to be known as "Brink Distorted"), Philosophy is a skill that belongs to the Black innate along with Physics; Yue and Kireila use Philosohpy versus White innates that use Theology.
DISCLAIMER: I hold nothing against religion, though I am a secular Humanist.

People's free will and aspirations cannot be limited by religion. Humanism will allow everyone to live in a world where age, race, and gender are meaningless.

-The death penalty was built on a philosophy of deterrence. Empirical studies conclude that the death penalty fails to deter, but actually INCREASE murders due to something known as the "brutalization effect". This essentially makes our country a more dangerous, violent place to live in.
-Mandatory drug sentences and the "War on Drugs". Built on philosophy... so individuals caught on one occasion with a barely significant amount of marijuana go to prison, however science proved that alcohol is more detrimental to your body, causes worse memory effects, and is linked to several violent crimes. "War on Drugs"... bullshit philosophy. How does one declare war on an inanimate object? Your tax dollars are going to incapacitating millions of non-violent offenders and, as a result of ensuring that the "criminal" serves the mandatory minimum, prisons release violent criminals to ensure that there is enough room in the prison for the drug offenders

the continuous questioning of everything and anything about life until you have absolutely no answers and have successfully endured one terrible mind fuck

Girl Two: kill yourself. write a philosophical question about it.
Girl One: is it necessary to be alive for you to be able to kill yourself?
Girl Two: good now go test your philosophy.

The love of wisdom. No matter how many times people condemn philosophy as useless, the love of wisdom is still better than the love of idiocy. Unless you are an idiot.

The highest and most noble academic discipline one can study.
Philosophy undertakes the task of determining the fundamental nature of human existence with thorough logical analysis. Philosophy can be broken down into four major branches:
1. Metaphysics: the study of ultimate reality
2. Epistemology: the study of knowledge
3. Ethics: the study of human actions and conduct
4. Aesthetics: the study of art and beauty
