Conundrum

Philosophy is an underlying factor in all parts of our daily lives. Nearly everything, even the simple choice to wake up in the morning and go about your day, is an act of philosophy. At its core, philosophy is about learning. We all recognize the limits of human knowledge—by studying philosophy, we strive to learn more about ourselves and the outside world. In practice, this means asking questions about the nature of certain ideas, concepts, and people. Who am I, really? What is the meaning of life? How should I live my life? By engaging in thoughtful discussion, we hope to achieve a more nuanced level of understanding of ourselves and of the world. The word philosophy derives its meaning from the Greek philos sophia, meaning lover of wisdom. Most of us go about our lives without asking life’s most difficult (and arguably most important) questions. Philosophy attempts to provide more clarity in a world where there is no objective “right” answer. (Or is there?) Thus we arrive at the word CONUNDRUM—a situation where there is no obvious answer.
