What is philosophy if not?

Answer 1

All human sense data accrues as experience.This experience is no way different from any animal.Human brain supposed to be more superior than rest of the animal kingdom.So could invent language which is a platform for knowledge to operate.

Since this knowledge is only an imposed object over the real there is confusion and conflict. Even though virtual world got created inside the knowledge (brain) confusion remains as it was and increasing in leaps and bounds.

Now humans understood that there must be a check and a counter check for this knowledge, that is what philosophy is.

This is a good start. All good philosophical offerings need a premise to support or refute. This will be the latter.

I'm not sure what "all human sense data accrues as experience" means so an answer isn't possible. The human experience is in all kinds of ways different from animals as it is among different animals. Sense "data" comes in different forms. The world experience of the insects that can see ultraviolet is different than the human who cannot. The beetle that can feel the code being tapped out by the other beetles on a plant is not unlike an elephant feeling the ground through its large feet but very different from the bird in flight that senses what the air is "telling" its senses.

We can only imagine what the philosophy would be of an intelligent species that "images" like a dolphin or can sense the electromagnetic fields of objects.

What is philosophy if not a quest for understanding.
