What is philosophy?
From my understanding of the topic, it is another persons interpretation of the world in which we all live in. Some of these philosophies are pretty far out, and some of which incredibly shallow.
Who has written some pretty far out (yet still reasonable, like Alan Watts) literature on the topic, and what would you recommend I looked at?
