Definition
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
As there are considerable overlaps with mathematics, it is sometimes argued that mathematics can be considered a branch of philosophy.
It is the controversial opinion of some mathematicians that philosophy is for people who are not smart enough for mathematics.
