Philosophy literally means the love of wisdom in Greek. Phil = love; sophos = wisdom. I think when philosophy is at its best, it seeks to do exactly that; it seeks to grow in wisdom, usually through dialects. This simply means that philosophy uses logic and reasoning to find out things like: "how do we know what we know?" Or a question like what makes something moral or immoral. From this perspective, philosophy is something that all people do. As for the importance for education, philosophy enables one to think better and more critically. So, it is recommended.
