A Philosopher, for me, is someone who expresses their thoughts or theories on important issues in ethics, religion, logic, culture and other more substantial subjects. A philosopher is also well-versed in philosophy, wondering how and why things are the way they are.

Philosophy begins with wonder and a question. This leads to an analysis and a search for an answer, which ultimately leads to another question. Then, the cycle repeats.

Philosophy is done through examining our lives. It starts with questioning the things we both understand and do not understand yet. It is the contant pursuit of knowledge and truth mainly done with inquiry and conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that philosophy begins whenever an individual recognizes a concern and continues to ponder, reflect, and question its answer. As previously mentioned, it begins when one begins to wonder. This continuous process is commonly applied on already accepted truths, norms, and practices that are not often questioned.

I’ll be taking a page out of Socrates’ book and say that, before actually starting to question the world around us, we must start with the perspective that we know nothing. We do not hold the knowledge for everything, but we still possess the passionate wonder that enables us to questions and investigate—only then will we be able to philosophize and think.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I've understood, philosophy begins with doubt, and then a question that challenges pre-existing notions about ourselves and worldviews. As we continue to question and wonder about certain aspects of our lives, we are able to get closer to the truth and live a fulfilling life!

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy starts with an idea, and the methods we take to further explore that idea, its truthfulness, and its implications. Like how Socrates tried to make sense of the god's message to his friend and searched for a "man wiser than himself," philosophy is making sense of what we discover and evaluating whether or not we are living justly.

After going through the first module, I have realized that philosophizing is doubting and wondering. Hence, to philosophize is to begin doubting. These doubts then lead to unanswered questions that need thorough thinking and research. After that, one may already begin to have answers to their initial doubts or may also have more questions than they initially did—this is what philosophy is: to have a quest for a multitude of answers to the millions and millions and questions that might go in one’s head.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy is stimulated through curiosity that leads to discovery due to the desire to answer what's beyond what you already know. People then ask questions that have or have not been answered by other people. It is similar to challenging currently accepted ideas to discover why things happen or work together to give us a different perspective on various topics.

# data[].attributes.body
To philosophize goes beyond the mere study of philosophy because a true philosopher is someone who can experience questions, more than just asking them, and living a well-examined life. Simply put, philosophy is the daily pursuit of wisdom, temperance, goodness, and love in order to live a meaningful life.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy first begins with discovery, identifying the elements (nature, society, etc) around us that make up our reality. From there, questioning occurs in regards to the presence of the said element; about its importance and significance. And finally, formulate theories which are developed through scrutinizing itself against various contexts and perspectives of people.

Philosophers do Philosophy by 'Philosophizing' their surroundings and their inner-selves. They become attached with the existence of nature, soul, conjectures and pragmatics. They become fully immersed with their desire to know and think critically, while being devoid of diversions from their environment. From then on, they begin their step to question, wonder, understand, listen, and answer. Of course, they are deeply influenced by their upbringing and relations with various circumstances; that's why they persistently seek answers from questions that they formulate and deliver. It is a crucial and stagnant process that requires the utmost patience; but its conclusion resonates within an individual's inner self, thus continuing the cycle of wondering and philosophizing.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophizing begins with wonder. This wonder leads to a thought. The thought would lead to a question. The question would lead to research through living and gaining experiences. This research would lead to more questions that either deepen the former question or deviate from it. Answers also arise from the research and are collected to form an understanding of the former thought. However, because the search for answers lie within the active search of a philosopher, the knowledge would continually accumulate. This means philosophizing would only end when the philosopher stops seeking. Philosophizing begins again when a philosopher begins to wonder about another thought.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think that philosophy is done by putting oneself into "thinking situations", most critically situations where we know less. Putting oneself in these situations are experiences in humility, and may in turn help in achieving philosophy. As it allows us to bare ourselves to the truth of not knowing.

How do philosophers do philosophy?

Philosophers seek for the truth , the answers to the serious questions that affect human existence such as the ideology, beliefs, and structural methods and they want the truth to be substantiated with supporting facts.. Furthermore, Philosophy is not dead; it innovates individual reflections in finding truths from their questions.

These four philosophical didactic methods are the classical philosophical methods namely the phenomenological method, the analytical method, the hermeneutic method, and the dialectic method that are used by philosophers to yearn for truth, for new knowledge. Philosophers do philosophy unceasingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers philosophize by asking questions, and from the knowledge gained from those questions, ask new questions. Much like scientists, philosophers are comprehensive in their questioning process, the backbone of their practise.

# data[].attributes.body
I think philosophizing starts with reflection and introspection about a familiar topic in order to have an understanding of the universe. This process will then lead one to formulate arguments, forcing the other to try and come up with a rational answer, leading to another argument, and so on. Philosophy is practiced, in other words, through a never-ending cycle of inquiry and reasoning in an attempt to reveal the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
I think philosophy is done through slowing down and committing to being contemplative. From what I understand so far, philosophy is rooted in wonder, therefore one must be genuinely in awe of what is being philosophized. And then philosophy is done through thinking about what questions lie within the topics that are still unanswered.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Philosophy starts with being observant on our surroundings and questioning the beliefs and things that we have been accustomed to. Once we have arrived at an answer that we have been satisfied with, it can prompt us to question more as we become in a state of wonder with this newly acquired knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Philosophy is done through thinking. We ponder and questions and search for answers and think of how can we break this argument down. If we cannot, then perhaps it is the truth. Or perhaps both arguments can be true depending on context,

# data[].attributes.body
A philosopher must immerse themselves first and gather experiences to have an initial understanding of the world. Afterwards, they will then reexamine and reflect with their experiences, asking questions and finding answers to pursue the truth about our reality. However, it does not stop here as the answers they find are just simply conjecture and thus, are tentative but their findings will serve as a foundation of what makes life more meaningful to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy begins when people examine themselves and the world around them, thus questioning and challenging what they have come to know. In philosophy, an answer to a certain question often leads to the asking of another. This constant search for answers allows one to constantly deepen his/her understanding of topics, ideas, beliefs, etc. until the ultimate "truth" is revealed.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers do philosophy by questioning and challenging what they already know and seeking answers to those questions. It takes an immense amount of reflection, introspection, a perspective of curiosity and openness in order to come to understand fundamental truths and reality.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Philosophy starts with the subjective level— introspection. A philosopher reflects on their experiences and starts digging into questions that eventually give substantial meaning into it. After arriving at a substantial meaning, a philosopher now connects this with the subjective experiences of others— intersubjectivity, and creates a deeper meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy begins as soon as individuals wonder - questioning and challenging "truths" that surround them. These wonders are often fueled by the varying contexts and human condition that surrounds an individual. However, what sets philosophy apart is what an individual does after getting answers to his/her questions. Philosophy doesn't stop there. Upon finding the answers, our sustained wonders prompt us to question further.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers start by asking a question about the world and acknowledging that they do not know the answer. This is followed by a genuine desire to seek understanding that drives them to study, research, and even ask more questions along the way until they finally get the answer to their question.

# data[].attributes.body
I think philosophers must first start with wonder about themselves and everything around them. Next, I think being observant and open-minded are really important qualities to have. Philosophers need to ask questions with awe and constantly keep the answers they find as tentative truths instead of fixed truths.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers do philosophy by challenging fundamental truths that they observe on a daily basis. It starts with a question that asks how a certain subject came to be and gives an answer that fits the context of the person the philosopher is talking to.

# data[].attributes.body
I think philosophy starts with looking at something and thinking about it, asking questions of what, why, and how to get a meaning out of what they are interpreting. Depending on the preexisting conditions placed before the philosopher, the outcome may vary.

# data[].attributes.body
I think philosophy is done by first observing (accidentally or otherwise) an occurrence (or "truth") of any sort. Then, questions begin to form about that occurrence and these questions bring forth more questions as the philosopher attempts to answer them. Of course it may not be as clear as this but as long as it holds the central idea of wondering about an idea, then that would still be philosophy.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers begin philosophy with wonder,  which may be stemmed from their human conditions and contexts. Philosophers then ask fundamental questions, in which they examine the meaning and rationale of these questions closely prior to searching for its answer. As philosophers search for the truth, they involve themselves in reflection, deep thought, analysis, and research to discover the answers to their queries.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers do philosophy by questioning and challenging the fundamental truths of life. But philosophy does not end here, philosophers also attempt to answer these questions to have a clearer grasp of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe philosophy starts with wondering about something, questioning it, researching about it, coming up with logical argumentations to support a tentative answer, and continuously seeking for better and improved answers to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers do philosophy the same way scientists do science. It starts with an observation, a realization, and a hypothesis. Then, it is supported by research it is tested through experimentation (or in this case, thought and discussion). Afterwards, its results are released and further improved upon.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I've learned so far in this module, I believe that philosophy must always begin with wonder, which may lead to more questions to consider. However, it is important to keep in mind that these questions can elicit additional inquiries and that there is no one-size-fits-all response. Moreover,  Philosophizing requires a lot of reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the action of philosophizing starts with acknowledging that in this life, similar to what Socrates said, we know nothing and we must first acknowledge this truth before attempting to actually philosophize. This doesn't mean that we are incapable of learning, it simple means accepting that we will never fully know something, and this fact challenges us to learn as much as we can. To philosophize is to find multiple answers based on different perspectives alongside various pieces of information to know as much as we can about a certain thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing philosophy is accepting that you know little or nothing as Socrates said. It involves asking the right questions and answering through reflections, examining the works of other philosophers to see different perspectives and ideas to formulate the answers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Philosophy is a never-ending process of wondering, questioning, and researching. As a philosopher wonder about certain beliefs and ideologies, he/she would pose questions that would instigate knowledge and insights through seeking answers to these questions using research. Once the philosopher obtains the answers of his previous questions, the newly acquired knowledge would once again evoke his/her wonder; hence, the never-ending cycle of philosophy begins.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that philosophy as a process first begins by acquiring a good sense of wonder about a certain topic (which may be any social norm, belief, construct, etc.) Then, questions and postulates or ideas are formed, and research is conducted. When answers are found, I think that the philosopher continues to explore other facets of the topic or even of the answers which they have found or made.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy is done when philosophers first observe the world around them, taking note of the beliefs, knowledge, and ideas they and other people hold onto. From their desire to know and understand more about these topics, philosophers then formulate questions and thoughts that challenge these ideas, and try to come up with their own answers and interpretations through investigation and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that philosophers practice philosophy by first observing their own reality. And from there, they ask fundamental questions that they get from this observation of theirs. To find the answers to these questions, they reflect on them and practice critical thinking by taking apart the factors that make up the question at hand. Once the answers have been found, they are now related and translated to fit into the scheme of humanity and life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that philosophy is done by ascertaining oneself with what one wants to find out, then taking different stances and perspectives as well as formulating a variety of questions in order to figure out an answer. Through this, deep reflection and thought take place, and even research about the topic for further understanding and knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy is done whenever we question certain concepts and try to understand them.  I think philosophy must be done with an open mind that can allow one to let go of their biases and engage is healthy discourse with others. In philosophizing, it doesn’t matter if you never get an answer to your question— what matters is the practice of thinking and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I've gathered so far, philosophy either seeks to prove something, expound on something, or challenge/debunk something. All these came from the required Wondering and Questioning, of course, but there must be a follow-up: reading other texts (i.e. research), as mentioned in the previous discussion board, is needed in order to philosophize and not just keep wondering.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing philosophy begins with determining the status quo that you want to question and formulating your questions from there (it may be vice-versa as well since people can start with questions in mind). From there, the corresponding research must be done, interpreted, and analyzed to primarily know more about the matter at hand, and from there, continuous and critical reflection must be done, relating their question to their research and experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers want to find answers and understand human existence and the world around them. They do this by wondering, questioning, and searching for questions and answers. When answers are found, the pursuit of knowledge does not end there — answers are always tentative and with that Philosophers continuously search for answers.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers question and challenge the knowledge, concepts, and beliefs about people and the world we live in. Upon finding the answers to their questions, they still continue to wonder more and seek more answers.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers aim to shed light and understanding on different concepts and ideas, giving reason as to why things are the way they are.  It often challenges beliefs and ideas that are shallow in nature, but still widely obliged and followed by numerous people.  It aims to give reason behind everything.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I’ve learned so far, I think that philosophy is done by first coming into and sustaining the state of wonder, bringing up questions about one’s life, existence, and other fundamental truths. From there, I think that the individual philosophizing then works to find explanations, reflects on one’s knowledge of the concept, analyzes other existing ideas about the question(s) in mind, and then attempts to formulate an answer that they believe appropriately answers their burning inquiry. However, because of the nature of philosophical questions, answers are often tentative and can differ from person to person and context to context, so the process of philosophizing is one that continues and builds upon itself over time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that philosophers start philosophizing with what makes them curious. This could be questions they have about themselves, the universe, or even supernatural beings. I would assume that over time their initial questions would just lead to even more questions, and that would be how they begin their life of philosophy.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers often question concepts, ideas, and beliefs which heavily rely on reflection. With such abstract matters, answers would always be tentative and open to different opinions and perceptions.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophers, I believe, do philosophy by reflecting and questioning even the simplest and most mundane concept or ideas in this world and beyond in hopes of finding an explanation that will give their concern a clearer perspective even if it's just temporary. Temporary because every explanation is open to new arguments; this is where philosophers go over the same process of reflecting and questioning again as they get challenged to rethink their ideas and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophy is done by questioning anything around us and attempting to answer it in a coherent manner. Beyond that lies questioning our own answers and the interpretations of others.
