ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

philosophy

Philosophy is a kind of thinking about really big questions like What is real? or What is the meaning of life? It's a way of looking at the world and trying to find out as much as you can about it. Philosophers take their time thinking about these questions and looking at all the evidence and facts they can to make sure they make the right decisions. It's not always easy, but it is a fun way to try to figure out reality!
