What I Have Learned

I learned that Philosophy is study of general and basic problems
concerning existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
Such questions are frequently offered as problems to be investigated or
answered.

I feel that Philosophy is important because interacts on so many topics

and, more importantly, since many of its approaches may be used in any
discipline. The study of philosophy helps us improve our problem-solving
abilities, communication skills, persuasive abilities, and writing abilities.

I commit to apply Philosophy in the study of the essential nature of

knowledge, reality, and existence, particularly as an academic discipline.
