Philosophy originated from wonder, the need to understand doubts and overcome deficiencies. It is characterized by the study of reality, knowledge, and values. There are some common misconceptions about philosophy - that it is just an attitude or outlook, or a collection of general principles. However, philosophy is an academic discipline that questions everyday issues through studying fields like metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology. Philosophers differ from ordinary people in that they continuously wonder and question topics in a way that is relevant to everyday life.
