What is philosophy built on? (And continued?)?

Azalee Ahrendes: The root of philosophy (as Socrates rightly said,) is questioning. Religion offers ready answers which may serve a good purpose, but philosophy questions them. Logic predicts valid and invalid outcomes and philosophy questions the results. Physics predicts the nature of reality and philosophy questions it.

Charlotte Bryar: Philosophy is built on Aesthetics and Epistemology.

Nona Lentini: the truth.

Nadia Crauswell: If you access http://historyofphilosophy.net there are hundreds of lectures there, by personnel of Kings College and LMU, which are helpful for answering your question. Math is developed of logic, which is sometimes considered a province of math. Mathematicians such as Whitehead and Husserl, Plato and Pythagoras, Leibniz and Godel, are also philosophers of the highest quality, and who intuited/realized some awareness of transcendent "Mind." So, one might group thinkers using logic--philosophers and mathematicians--as consti! tuting one set, which uses logic, reasoning, and often "intuition" (cf Brouwer in math). In this general group, there are basic awareness preferences. Those who intuit soul, God, are more like Kant, when they consciously limit "knowing" to basic or common human 5-sense aw areness, and more like Plato, Plotinus, and Husserl, when they claim knowing or gnosis beyond the reductionist 5-sense data stream. More generally among thinkers, the distinction or emphasis preference "between soul and matter" develops a) into the reductive sciences; b) into what may be encountered per Schopenhauerian (and more Self-realized) insight, etc.; c) into the kind of reductive logic that investigates what can be thought of as able to be described in physical terms, yet without physical evidence (oversimplified, Anglophone "analytic thinking" in the last 125 years); and d) into a temporally longer Continental tradition of "social philosophers." (Would suggest in passing that Whitehead's geome! trization of energy is more correct than point-based physics, ! and actualizes and logically posits an energetic process between soul and matter, intuition and physicalism.) Depending on your interests, background, and preferences, there are those four general themes in modern Western thinking. Related: "Process and Reality," "The Mindful Universe," "There Is a God," "The Physics of the Soul," "The Future of Mind," "A Philosophy of Universality," "Return to the One: Plotinus's Guide to God-Realization."...Show more

Eulah Hugill: Logic and empirical data.

Bernadette Roel: Philosophy is built on observation and questioning. Philosophy is reasoning

Geraldo Mccalla: It wasn't "built on" anything. It is the nature of life to explore and the nature of intelligent life to explore thought. Philosophy is the father of math and science and religion and politics and on and on. It is intelligence exploring itself.! Granted, at this point, man is more like "intelligence thinking it knows everything", but there are always those who explore and so, the wheel turns and progress is made.

Mario Stricklan: Philosophy is like the original science, it is based on observation. Unfortunately there isn't as much consensus between philosophers as there is between scientists.
