Philosophy

*What is philosophy and what is it useful for?* The answer to this
question changed with time. In old times, it was a guide to live an
ideal life \[1\], which is also evident in [Indian
philosophies](indianPhilosophy) as well as in Roman philosophies
such as [Stoicism](stoicism) and **Cynicism**. Nevertheless, in
modern times, it became a medium of intellectual pleasure, resulting in
the limited usage of it in daily life.

Philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline.
