Although philosophers are often interested in abstract questions concerning the nature of reality, how we can ever be said to know anything and the kinds of things we should value, the answers that are given to these questions are likely to have a direct impact upon what we believe and how we subsequently live our lives. For example, if I think that my mind and body are one and the same thing and can defend my belief through rational argument then surely this will have an effect on how I live my life? In Philosophy, we explore such questions and examine the answers that have been given to them by some of the greatest thinkers, including Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant and Wittgenstein.
