The Value of Philosophy in Understanding Life

Philosophy isn't just old guys asking what if. It's the reason we understand gravity,

democracy, and human rights. Every scientific breakthrough started with a philosophical

question. Newton asked why things fall. Einstein questioned time itself.

Galileo challenged what everyone believed about the universe. Before lab coats, there were thinkers

sitting under trees wondering how the world actually works. Philosophy taught us to question assumptions,

which gave birth to the scientific method. It's why we debate ethics in medicine,

why we argue about AI consciousness, and why we even care about truth versus lies.

The Stoics invented cognitive behavioral therapy two thousand years before therapists did.
