My understanding of Philosophy

My understanding of philosophy looks something like the following: Philosophy is a view or look at all things in the universe. Philosophy deals with nature and reality. With regard to nature, ones own nature, the nature of the universe along with the nature of God. Philosophy also deals with concepts, principles, techniques, and disciplines. Even though philosophy seems to include material like science, religion and art, it is not science, religion or art. There are …

…who do just that, but on the other hand I also believe that there are the great ones. People like Socrates and Plato whose philosophies are still talked about and thought about today. In more recent times we have Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Remembering so little but having seen these men speak on video, I am impressed with their passion, conviction and powers of persuasion. These men were elegant, strong and true leaders.
