Why Philosophy Matters

Philosophy is foundational to:

• Critical thinking: making informed, reflective decisions

• Ethical reasoning: acting with integrity in complex situations

• Emotional intelligence: understanding your own and others’ inner worlds

It affects everything from public policy to parenting, from your career path to your coping strategies.

In a noisy, reactive world, philosophy teaches us to:

• Pause

• Question

• Choose with wisdom

It’s not just for classrooms or books—it’s for living well.
