Philosophy

Who is the philosopher? If we are to take the word literally, then he is simply a lover of wisdom.  The philosopher asks the questions that the scientist takes for granted.  The philosopher goes beyond the surface and digs deep into the world around him.  But doesn't every man asks such questions as why are we here, whats our purpose, and where are we going?  So are we not all philosophers?  And yet few embark on the fascinating journey that is philosophy. Few understand the genius that is Kant or Hume, or enter the world of Freud.  These men, for many, are foreign, but i would encourage those who are Christians to pick up their bible and turn to ecclesiastes and read one of the original 'lovers of wisdom'; Solomon.  Feel his inner anguish, sense his confused mind, and bask in his faith in He who knows all things
