Philosophy is a life long process of searching and reflective thought in the quest for truth and understanding.  Our own actions, and those of other people, and the world around us, are filled with mystery. We inquire to better know ourselves, to understand life and society, and to come to grips with the mysteries of the universe. Studying what philosophers have said gives us a place to start.  Whether we agree or disagree with them we can use their ideas to begin our inquiry.
