What is the value of philosophy? Hi
The value of philosophy for me is to feel.
To try explain a feeling or some insight with mere words is like trying to explain colour to the blind but that doesnt stop us trying.
We try our best to do so by using words to make sentances as our expression.
We can gain glimpses of understanding while we are philosophising that can be felt from somewhere deep within ourselves. You just cant do that with pure "mechanical" or "scientific" thought alone.
Here lies the saying of feeling it within the heart.
If people could see philosophy is art and to treat it like that then they would understand its value.
