Philosophize: Michelin G. Danan

Philosophizing arises from human curiosity and desire to understand fundamental questions. It stems from our innate sense of wonder about life and the world. Philosophers like Plato, Descartes, and Socrates philosophized to gain a holistic understanding through examining their own beliefs and assumptions rather than seeking knowledge as an end in itself. Reflecting on one's thoughts and experiences is vital to making wise, considered decisions by understanding implications and consequences.
