PHILOSOPHY ON HUMAN EXISTENC
There are times in life when we have difficulty in deciding what course of action to take in solving a particular problem. The question to ask at such times and situations is always natural and comes in this manner-what do we ought to do? This is an ethical and metaphysical question that works behind all our consideration. Philosophy, as the queen of all knowledge, would be looked at from the view point without prejudice to any particular position of thought. Philosophy has been seen as a search for wisdom, an attempt to understand the universe as a whole. It is also an attempt towards a rigorous examination of the origin, extent of man’s ideas and an examination of the values of truth, goodness and beauty. It became difficult for the philosophers from different epochs to generally have a common definition of philosophy. Despite all the differences, in definition, philosophy, according to Uduigwomen and Ozumba (2000) is the search for practical benefit of man. It is a guide for the enhancement of man’s progress in life. Philosophizing, therefore, is an inner activity by which an individual knows and becomes himself. This is what Socrates emphasized by saying “man know thyself”. There is need for man to have a deep self-reflection to achieve wisdom and a meaningful life (Agabi, Ogar, and Ekwok, 2025).
