It needs no defense!. That is what philosophy has always been!. It is defined as the love of knowledge!.!.!. the pursuit of truth!. It is science, without the strictness of empiricism; it is religion, without the faith to dogma!. Both science and religion seek truth in their own way, and philosophy is no different!. It is the systematic and analytical approach to discovering new knowledge, relying solely on thought experimentation, logic, introspective observation, and I suppose to some degree observation of the real world as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
