Answer to Question 1

- Philosophy's mission is complex and has changed over time.
- Philosophy is the pursuit of wisdom.
- Philosophy covers distinct areas of study: meta-physics, epistemology, ethics, social/political philosophy, aesthetics, and logic.

Answer to Question 2

- The word philosophy comes from the Greek philein (love) and sophia (wisdom), so it means the love or pursuit of wisdom.
- Wisdom includes both knowledge and the ability to use and apply this knowledge with great intelligence.
- One purpose of epistemology is to try to increase wisdom.
