    But why?
    It is easier to do things if you know the
    reason of doing it. It is comfortable
    engaging yourself in an activity if you
    know the importance of it and how it will
    be beneficial to you. If you know the value
    of certain things, you will appreciate it.
    Now let us see the value and why do we
    need Philosophy. These are just some of
    the many uses and value of philosophy.
    But why?
    Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical analysis
    and interpretation of concepts, definitions, arguments,
    and problems.

    Philosophy improves problem-solving and decision


    making.

    A philosopher is a good communicator who clearly and


    adequately presents his or her ideas.

    Knowledge of Philosophy can contribute to self-


    development.
