What is Philosophy

   Most people have views that are strongly influenced and informed by   philosophy, often without realizing it. Identify a view you have—whether on   politics, religion, science, culture, or even the media and   entertainment—that might be regarded as being related to philosophy. What   kind of reasons do you have for holding that belief? What figure from the   history of philosophy section do you think might have some views that are   similar, or at least relevant, to your own? Explain why you chose that   particular figure.
