ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Definitions of philosophy

Philosophy is like a big question you ask yourself. It's not just a science, but something that can help you think and talk about the things that are important in life. It’s a way of trying to figure out what’s true and what’s right by asking questions, looking for evidence and thinking carefully about ideas. It’s about exploring different ways of looking at the world and having discussions about big ideas like: What is the meaning of life? Is it possible to be good and happy? What is the best way to live?
