Philosophy is an extremely broad field of study that covers concepts from the wildly abstract to the very practical but ultimately just teaches to art of clear thinking.

Do you value philosophy as a field of study? If so, I'm curious to hear why you do. What is philosophy? Can you summarize it in a sentence?

I value philosophy as a field of study because I see it as the very exploration of thought.
Questioning, is philosophy in action.

You get the same results pursuing any number of other courses really.
| Quote: | | ... a poor choice to Major in. |
Well, not if you're already rich enough to not care for the fact that you won't get a career until you receive a PH.d. But ya, mostly your right, it's a poor major.
| Quote: | | ... a way for shallow people to have deep thoughts. |
pretty much....technically even the most layman amongst us do some form of philosophical thinking.
| Quote: | | ... more fun than Accounting. |
Fuck ya. I will also add, "more fun then biology too."

PFFT....why bother thinkin' about what philosophy is when we can just look it up and be satisfied with what is given to us as the answer?

I seriously think that you're seriously taking this too seriously. I want to inform you properly that I am seriously considering not taking you seriously.
Properly seriously,
