About This Quote

Philosophy is common sense with big words. Philosophy can be described as the study of life. Philosophers are people who study the nature of life and the ways in which it should be lived. It is important to understand that philosophical concepts are based on common sense, but they are expressed much more clearly in language that is both more specific and more nuanced than common sense allows.

This quote says that philosophy is common sense with big words, which means it’s very simple to understand but expresses ideas in a very complex way. The same concept can be described in much less complex terms, but it would be expressed in a much less specific way.
