Philosophy

Philosophy rests on a multifaceted foundation. Indeed, in the history of the West, philosophy is often viewed as an appendage of wisdom. However, it should be noted that philosophy developed out of speculations to which we today refer as irrationalities. What is the connection of philosophy to rationality (Questions of Epistemology).

Other philosophers argued that the essence of reality lies in the nature itself. Can a compromise be reached between these two views
