Philosophy is a science of the world as a whole, but at the same time it seeks to determine the essence of man, his place and purpose in the universe. It develops value-based views of the world and establishes universal laws for the development of society.

Very good definition of the term philosophy. I think there is another question that was left out, the fact of life and death, will there be something beyond death? When we die, do we cease to exist? I think it has to do with Man - God - Creation. What is our purpose of existence? Being born, growing, reproducing and dying? and after that? Well they are just things that came to my mind. Thanks for such a thoughtful post. Regards
