1. The problem of the interaction between philosophy and science is well known.

Some philosophers say that philosophy is a science while others say that it is not a science. So, philosophy differs from science as well as from religion by its methodology of cognition and also by world outlook, while science and religion consider that knowledge has only one beginning therefore there is only one true knowledge and only one true methodology of cognition. I think that scientific methodology is in many ways close to the religious one. Science supposes that there is only one proper basis of knowledge, it is experiment and rational analysis of nature, just as religion considers that there is only one source of knowledge, God (or other Absolute). Therefore there is only one methodology of searching for science (scientific theories and experiments) and only one way of cognition for religion (revelation and spiritual dialogue with God). By contrast, philosophy agrees that there are many ways of cognition, just as there are many forms of knowledge and many beginnings of that knowledge. Wisdom in my mind is the form of personal knowledge. That is why there is neither a scientific philosophy, nor a religious philosophy, but there is philosophy of science and philosophy of religion, which describe the phenomena of scientific and religious thinking. Philosophy is always personal experience and cogitation and there is no universal wisdom, which would be the same for all the people, just as there is no single understanding of happiness. 2. Skepticism is an honest search for knowledge. It is an approach to claims akin to the scientific method. It is a powerful and positive methodology (a collection of methods of inquiry) that is used to evaluate claims and make decisions. It is used to search for the (provisional) truth in matters and to make decisions that are based on sound reasoning, logic, and evidence. Skepticism is based on a simple method: doubt and inquiry. The idea is to neither initially accept claims nor dismiss them; its about questioning them and testing them for validity. Only after inquiry does a skeptic take a stance on an issue. Knowledge is usually defined as beliefs that are justified,true and actionable. Any description, hypothesis, concept, theory, or principle which fits this definiton would be considered knowledge. Philosophy generally discusses propositional knowledge rather than know-how. Like knowledge, certainty is an epistemic property of beliefs. As with knowledge, it is difficult to provide an uncontentious analysis of certainty. There are several reasons for this. One is that there are different kinds of certainty, which are easy to conflate. Another is that the full value of certainty is surprisingly hard to capture. A third reason is that there are two dimensions to certainty: a belief can be certain at a moment or over some greater length of time. 3. The substance of money itself does no longer play a role in its function in exchange. Where once money did have substance-value (e.g. gold and silver coins), it has become a pure

symbol to determine qualities quantitatively. Money is an instrument entering into nearly all of peoples social interactions. Never a purpose in itself ), money has sheer infinite capacities of applicability in exchange relations. 4. We all have the desire to control our destiny but the degree to which we are able to manifest that desire concretely is, ironically, not under our control. The desire itself, however, as a human is as real and important a phenomena as the factors which control the outcomes of our motivations. The fact that there is even a possibility in our minds that we could control our own destiny is evidence that there is more going on than just being a passive witness to conditions beyond our control. 6. Moral or ethical rules are basically rules imposed upon us by the society or culture we live within. We have them to define accepted/acceptable behaviours; to promote high standards of living; to provide a benchmark for members of society to use for self evaluation; and to establish a framework for professional behaviour and responsibilities. 7. When I was younger I never understood the importance of integrity but now its so apparent that living life with integrity makes everything so simple, yet so profound. Integrity is the gift that keeps on giving. It has taught me gratitude for the big stuff and for the small stuff too. It has taught me kindness, compassion and generosity. It has taught me to be honest and direct with others but most importantly with myself. Trying to live with integrity makes me a better person. It makes me a happier person. And best of all, it makes me want to be of service to others. And I cannot think of anything more meaningful than that. 8. 1. Learned how to think outside of the scientific method of thinking 2. The connection between language and thought. 3. I learned the problems of the communal body. 4. The difference between personal and communal bodies. 5. What the concept of a soul or self is. 6. How ideas can be innate. 7. The problem presented by skepticism 8. I learned that free will really isnt free will at all.

9. I learned why philosophy is more a tendency of mind to ask certain kinds of questions that don't have any answers. 10. The difference between evolutions and revolutions in thought.
