WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY
Upon reading the opening chapter of Cahn’s, “Exploring Philosophy: An Introductory Anthology”, I was immediately drawn in by the opening statement from Beardsley and Beardsley: “The study of philosophy is unlike the study of any other subject…The only prerequisite is an inquiring mind” (Cahn, 3). For a science major, my first reaction is excitement, for there is no need to memorize “dates, formulas, or rules” (Chan, 3).
As I continued reading however, I start to think to myself what I believe it means to take a philosophy course? My definition of taking a philosophy course is I would be studying the ideas of one’s thoughts, beliefs, morals, religion, and any other “stereotypical” philosophical description. However, thanks to the definition provided, when broken down, “the word philosophy is of Greek origin and literally means, “the love of wisdom” (Cahn, 3).
