PHILOSOPHY is the study of the Big Picture. Philosophers ponder the central questions of existence, reason, knowledge, values, and language. Throughout history, countless brilliant minds strived to find patterns and systems of universal perfection to reveal the mysteries of the human condition. Many philosophical premises are essentially opposed to each other. Others have influenced society in both fruitful and adverse ways. Philosophy, as religion, failed to bring harmony and peace to the world. Ultimately philosophical thinking adds more complexity to the already overburdened human mind. Instead of generating clarity, philosophy, necessary and exciting it is, increases global scepticism.
