About This Quote
A philosopher is a lover and searcher of truth, beauty, meaning, and wisdom. Despite the negative connotation of the word “philosopher”, it is used to describe someone who loves truth, beauty, meaning, and wisdom. Philosophy is the study of these things and the study of these things is what philosophers do. Although people usually think of philosophers as sitting around in robes talking about things like heaven and hell, over time philosophers became able to use logic and reason to solve problems and answer questions. History shows us that philosophy is an important part of every culture and every individual’s life.
