Abstract
To Most people these days philosophy is a vague term with an 1 uncertain meaning, having good though somewhat old-fashioned overtones but too confused, too irrelevant, and too mental, to be taken seriously. When not subordinated to religion, philosophy is thought to have become a merely academic subject, and finally science seems to have rendered it altogether unnecessary.
