Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.Jenny Teichmann and Katherine C. Evans, Philosophy: A Beginners Guide (Blackwell Publishing, 1999), p. 1: "Philosophy is a study of problems which are ultimate, abstract and very general.

Metaphysics replaces the unargued assumptions embodied in such a conception with a rational and organized body of beliefs about the world as a whole. Everyone has occasion to doubt and question beliefs, their own or those of others, with more or less success and without any theory of what they are doing. Epistemology seeks by argument to make explicit the rules of correct belief formation. Everyone governs their conduct by directing it to read more at » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy
