Meaning and Process of Doing Philosophy
Doing philosophy means engaging oneself in “matters of utility” and methodologies to
eliminate any practical problem or abstract idea. In the process of doing philosophy, it
is critical to have a holistic point of view-the perception of looking at all aspects of a
situation first before making conclusion. Some other skills involved in doing
philosophy are critical, logical, and analytical thinking, observation, and
communicative skills.
Holistic and Partial Point of View
Before engaging in philosophical inquiry, one must be able to distinguish between a
holistic and partial point of view. This is critical for anyone doing philosophy because it
sets a limit in coming up with conclusions about a given situation.
