Why is the study of Philosophy important.docx
1. Why is the study of Philosophy important?
Philosophy is the study of wisdom. In other words, it is the study of knowledge gained
through experience for centuries. It therefore gives us a wide and deep understanding of our self, our
neighbor, and our lifeitself.Because of these, the study of Phil osophy today is very important.
Unlike any other discipline, philosophy is the front liner in developing ones ability to reason
and to think critically. These skills are very vital for us to be able to evaluate and to analyze concepts,
ideas, arguments, situations and problems that come our way. With reasoning and critical thinking
skills at hand, we are able to think logically. We are able to imagine, to debate and to clarify the value
of ideas and situations for us to be ableto make correct judgments and good decisions.
Since Philosophy trains us to reason and to be critical, it empowers us in communicating our
ideas very clearly so we can be understood by those with whom we communicate these ideas to. In
almostall situations,beingclear when it comes to what we say and what write is very valuable.
How is Philosophy applied in the day to day lifeof a person?
In daily life, Philosophy, helps us live a good life. It gives us the skill to analyze and evaluate
the situation or idea,thus givingus the opportunity to improve.
More than any other areas of learning, Philosophy provides a good venue for self -
knowledge. Through introspection, one would be able to find out his strengths and his weaknesses as
well. This will give a clear picture of who you are which is very vital in our journey in life. We can
choose to pursue our strengths toward success or we can choose to remedy our weaknesses,
overcome it and be successful too.
Moreover, Philosophy is of great importance because it gives us foresight and a good sense
of direction in life. Philosophy makes us understand and this leads us to believe in some ideas. These
ideas guide us as we pursue of goals. As we do it, without our knowing, we follow a certain path in life.
Before we know it, we are going to a direction we chartfor ourselves.

Personally, I believe in the Philosophy of Moderation by Aristotle. In whatever I do, I always
cling to that Philosophy to guide me. According to that philosophy, in whatever we do, we must do it
in moderation because doing something in excess is vice and so is doing it in a manner that is lacking.
So for instance in drinking, I should it in moderation. In eating, it should be so. In almost all that I do, I
always think of doing itin a moderate way.
