Philosophy helps challenge our own beliefs, consider others’ points of view, and ultimately better know the world around us. Philosophy is the endeavour to understand the basic questions that arise for us in our world, and to formulate this understanding in a critical manner. Traditionally, these questions have touched upon what can be known, what can be valued, what our own position is socially and individually - above all, how we can know what we think we know.
