� WHY IS PHILOSOPHY IMPORTANT?

15. � IMPORTANCE OF PHILOSOPHY
� 1. The study of Philosophy enables us to think carefully and clearly about
important issues.
� 2. In studying Philosophy, we learn to take a step back from our everyday
thinking and to explore the deeper, bigger question which underpins our
thought.
� 3. The focus in the study of Philosophy is to learn not what to believe, but
how to think.
� 4. Studying philosophy sharpens your analytical abilities, enabling you to
identify and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses in any position.
� 5. It hones your ability to construct and articulate cogent arguments of your
own.
� 6. It prompts you to work across disciplinary boundaries and to think flexibly
and creatively about problems which do not present immediate solutions.
� 7. Because philosophy is an activity as much a body of knowledge, it also
develops your ability to think and work independently.

16. � Philosophy is a process of reflecting on and criticizing our most deeply held
conceptions and beliefs.
� These two senses of philosophy— “having” and “doing”— cannot be treated
entirely independent of each other, for if we did not have a philosophy in the
formal, personal sense, then we could not do a philosophy in the critical, reflective
sense. Having a philosophy, however, is not sufficient for doing philosophy.
� A genuine philosophical attitude is searching and critical; it is open-minded and
tolerant—willing to look at all sides of an issue without prejudice.
� To philosophize is not merely to read and know philosophy; there are skills of
argumentation to be mastered, techniques of analysis to be employed, and a
body of material to be appropriated such that we become able to think
philosophically.
� Philosophers are reflective and critical.
