"What is philosophy?" and 2. "What is the use of philosophy?" Firstly, "What is philosophy?" is itself a philosophical question, difficult to answer in a few words. Even if we can define "philosophy" in words, it is hard to truly grasp what "philosophy" is solely from a textual definition. Secondly, "What is the use of philosophy?" Many believe philosophy often discusses abstract and impractical topics, making no sense. However, to understand the utility of philosophy, we must first know its origins. "Philosophy Unpacks the Way of Life" attempts to answer these questions for you. Not by explanation, but through experience. Much like a "physical education class"—recall when you first received your timetable, having never attended PE or engaged in any sports (football, running, etc.). It would be difficult to understand what "PE class" is from its definition alone. It is only after attending the class and participating in various activities that we grasp what "PE class" entails and can easily categorize different activities as "sports." "Philosophy" is much the same; this book hopes to offer you an experiential encounter with philosophy.
