To my understanding, Philosophy is the speculative musing about intellectual concepts for no other reason than to examine truth and consider the ramifications of the concepts examined. Philosophy is not pragmatic, political, or religious. Philosophy has no ax to grind or agenda to fulfill other than reflection on the process of thought and truth itself.

This is not my original idea. This is a paraphrase of an idea presented by Bertrand Russell in his book "Wisdom of the West"
