Quite literally, the term “philosophy” means, “love of wisdom.” In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other. Philosophy’s definition in simple terms is that it is the pursuit of wisdom through individual or group concepts or ideologies. Formally, philosophy involves the quest for knowledge through venues such as art, politics, religion, logic, and metaphysics. Philosophy – the love of wisdom – is an activity of attempting to understand the world, in all its aspects. There are four pillars of philosophy: theoretical philosophy (metaphysics and epistemology), practical philosophy (ethics, social and political philosophy, aesthetics), logic, and history of philosophy.
Philosophy (φιλοσοφία, ‘love of wisdom’, in Ancient Greek) is a systematic study of general and fundamental questions concerning topics like existence, reason, knowledge, value, mind, and language. It is a rational and critical inquiry that reflects on its own methods and assumptions.
Philosophical Existentialism Essentialisms: In ontology, the view that some properties of objects are essential to them. The “essence” of a thing is conceived as the totality of its essential properties. Theories of essentialism differ with respect to their conception of what it means to say that a property is essential to its objective.
The overview of my definition related to my philosophy and the philosophy of man discusses definitions related to philosophy and the philosophy of human homo sapien. It discusses: – Two types of definitions – nominal (based on name) and real (based on essence). Real definitions can be intrinsic (essential or descriptive) or extrinsic (based on origin, cause, purpose).
In epistemology: Plato. … designed to elicit a “real definition.” By a real definition Plato means a set of necessary and sufficient conditions that exactly determine the entities to which a given concept applies.

The difficulty in defining “philosophy” is also reflected in the fact that introductions to philosophy often do not start with a precise definition but introduce it instead by providing an overview of its many branches and subfields, such as epistemology, ethics, logic, and metaphysics, and it’s relevance in time, space, and the ongoing river of information we all learn.
Copi mentions five kinds of definitions, namely stipulative definitions, lexical definitions, precision definitions, theoretical definitions, and persuasive. definitions. “Persuasive Definitions” CDH
What are the types of definitions in philosophy? definition, In philosophy, the specification of the meaning of an expression relative to a language. Definitions may be classified as lexical, ostensive, and stipulative.
What are the rules of lexical definitions? Lexical rules provide a mechanism for expressing redundancies in the lexicon, such as the kinds of inflectional morphology used for word classes, derivation morphology as found with suffixes and prefixes, as well as zero-derivations as found with detransitivization, nominalization of some varieties and so on.
Lexical Rules:Technically, the definiendum should be put in quotation marks or italics, but this convention is. not always followed. Rule 2: A Lexical Definition Should Convey the Essential Meaning of the Word Being as defined. Defined. A definition cannot be helpful if it fails to convey the essential meaning of the definiendum.What is definition, a rule 2 for good lexical definitions? Rule 2 a lexical definition should convey the essential meaning of the word being defined. the word “human” is occasionally defined as featherless biped. Such a definition fails to convey the essential meaning of “the evolved human homo sapien” as the word is used in ordinary English.
What is an intentional definition? A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols). Definitions can be classified into two large categories: intentional definitions (which try to give the sense of a term), and extensional definitions (which try to list the objects that a term describes).
Definitions should explain plainly what it is you are explaining to the reader. For example: “Spirit” which sounds like a name, ultimately signifying spirituality, a property, an aspect or state of mind, a mode of being, which is too often thought of as the mode of religion instead of spirit. Although one can walk in the spirit of religion but learning is a internal process so that your every step must be relative to the story of Jesus Christ, when Christian, and an evolved homo sapien, as his mother was, his father, and his friends. Not mythological, but real homo sapiens in a time gone by.
