Art of Wondering Philosophy Of course, we will start there! The word itself comes from two Greek words, philos and sophia. Meaning, love of wisdom. That’s good for starters, but it’s not enough. What is enough' It is enough to wonder. Every time that you wonder, you are doing philosophy, not necessarily as a discipline, but as a vehicle to enrich your life. Stop wondering, and you might as well say you have stopped breathing. As I trust you know, breathing comes naturally. So does wonder. To breath and to wonder have a lot in common. Little fear. Much hope. Much anticipation. It is when you are not breathing easily, when you are choking, that fear, despair, and gloom set in. To breathe and to wonder are one with life. If you can enjoy both, you are truly alive. Philosophy can be seen as a quest for truth. For some, it is the search for God. For others, philosophy helps them achieve clarity of thinking. Still others find a certain peace of mind through philosophy because they see the world in perspective, allowing them to achieve distance from immediate concerns.
