Philosophical inquiry aims at uncovering, analyzing, and evaluating the fundamental
values and assumptions implicit in various human activities and practices such
as science, the arts, religion, morality, and social and political institutions.
Its ultimate goal is to develop a coherent view of the world and our place in
it. Philosophy focuses on sharpening the ability to analyze, reason, and write
effectively.
