Top Philosophy Flashcards

Philosophy literally means "love of wisdom." It is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophical methods include questioning, critical discussion, rational argument and systematic presentation. Classic philosophical questions include: Is it possible to know anything and to prove it? What is most real? However, philosophers might also pose more practical and concrete questions such as: Is there a best way to live? Is it better to be just or unjust (if one can get away with it)? Do humans have free will? While these are difficult questions, we have created 3 sets of flashcards to help you get a better grasp on this topic.

Whether you want to become a philosopher or just want questions to think deeply about, these flashcards are for you! If you are curious about these flashcards, make sure to check them out for more on this important subject.
