Can we be sure that there is a world beyond our minds? Is the past a guide to the future? Is there anything more to us as persons than our bodies and brains? Does God exist? Do we have free will, or are we merely puppets controlled by our genes and the environment in which we grew up? What principles should we use to guide our moral choices? Do moral ends ever justify questionable means? And what makes an act moral anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philosophical questions touch on issues in many academic disciplines and professions. What unifies philosophy is not its subject matter but its method. Central to this method is the careful analysis of concepts and the formulation and evaluation of arguments. For a philosopher, it is never enough just to \u201chave an opinion\u201d on a philosophical question; one\u2019s opinion must be supported by rational argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tPhilosophy Is the most practical of disciplines\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-661d493fe67fc-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>A common misconception about philosophy is that it is impractical.
