 Philosophical method (or philosophical methodology) is the study of

how to do philosophy. A common view among philosophers is that
philosophy is distinguished by the ways that philosophers follow in
addressing philosophical questions. There is not just one method that
philosophers use to answer philosophical questions. Philosophy is
concerned with determining the concept of truth. Truth lies at the
heart of any inquiry.

Distinguish Opinion from Truth

Fact is something concrete that can be proven. You can find facts in legal
records, scientific findings, encyclopedias, atlases, etc. In other words, facts
are the truth and are accepted as such.

Opinion is less concrete. It's a view formed in the mind of a person about a
particular issue. In other words, it is what someone believes or thinks, and is
not necessarily the truth.
