It seems to me that philosophy can be concisely defined as the fundamental nature of existence, our experience of it, and, not novelly, their connection. This human activity has produced very different kinds of ideas with very different kinds of consequences. Religion seemed to be the most common product of this activity at one time, and now it seems that science has taken more of a hold. My question is, in today's world, what does philosophy consist of? Science obviously rests on philosophy, it's origins, but considering how it's success is so distinguishing and thorough, what does that leave philosophy to do? Freewill seems to be a somewhat arbitrary subject that wouldn't fall under science, unless it would really be a question of psychology. |
