Concept Map

Philosophy is concerned with fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and ethics. It seeks understanding of the nature of the world through investigation and learning from great philosophers in history, while avoiding their mistakes. Unlike other fields, philosophers do not agree on what constitutes their subject of study and must provide evidence and arguments, not just assert beliefs without rationale.
