Defining Philopsophy

I was talking to this highly irritating yet brain stimulating guy about what is Philosophy and somehow, it sounds closely similar to Science. However, Philosophy is not Science. It is perhaps a science but not Science in terms of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. 

  And I am faced with a challenge: 

  Define Philosophy. 

  Unfortunately, I stuck and confused.

So I am going to ask this really straight-forward question about Philosophy. Philosophy is thinking and asking questions about the unknown. It differs from Science as Science is asking questions about the known and hypothesising one that. That’s why you can say Science is more definite as there will be this “must” and “constant” unlike philosophy which purely dwells in the unknown.

Philosophy needs to be deduced based on almost nothing which allows Philosophy to accommodate all kinds of theories. Science has laws, there are certain rules and guidelines it abides by. Philosophy has no laws. It is fundamentally the simple act of thinking. It is not thinking out of the box since there is not “box” in the first place. There is probably no end to Philosophy. There will not be an ending position where Philosophy stops. Since there is nothing to prove philosophy, it basically thinking and listening to the soul within and wondering around this one basic guideline, which is the Question. 

Science is thinking within this “box” which has holes at certain points and stretching beyond through the holes. In the end, complete Science will probably be a box, where every works within it. Science brings order. 

Both Science and Philosophy ask questions, deduce, interpret. These are the similarities. However, to define Philosophy is already quite “Science-y” since Philosophy can’t be defined. To think What is Philosophy, is Philosophy. However, to simplify things for our neurons, we try to define Philosophy in “Science” terms. And we define Philosophy based on the process. 

So what is Philosophy? That will be worth pilosophising over.
