Annotation

Through philosophy, we gain a new perspective of ourselves and the reality around us. We break free from things we take for granted, develop a critical perspective that looks behind the scenes of the "normal world" and learn to communicate this.
What makes an action morally "good" or "bad"? What does it mean to live happily? What does it mean to "know" something? How can we live well together? We get to the bottom of these and other questions in Philosophy.
