what is the relevance of philosophy thinking in our life?

Answer 1

People who don't have much experience of philosophy often think of it as a very abstract, impractical sort of discipline. Socrates faced that criticism two and a half thousand years ago, and was even parodied as a "head in the clouds" dreamer in the theater. His response was simple and powerful: *the* central questions of philosophy is actually the most urgently practical question of all: How should we live our lives? As he also showed, answering that question is far harder than it seems, and if you don't get the answer right then everything you learn in those more "practical" disciplines, indeed everything you value and everything you do, is just smoke. What is justice? What is reasonable and unreasonable? How should I respond to misfortune? Should I orient my entire life around the precepts of a religion and the belief in a god - or not? Should my society ensure or impose a certain degree of equality - or not? Should anyone else be in a position to limit what I see or read or say? These are just a few further *practical* questions that are essentially philosophical.
