Philosophy is the science that studies the fundamental aspects of the nature of
existence. The task of philosophy is to provide man with a comprehensive view
of life. This view serves as a base, a frame of reference, for all his actions,
mental or physical, psychological or existential. This view tells him the
nature of the universe with which he has to deal (metaphysics); the means by
which he is to deal with it, i.e., the means of acquiring knowledge
(epistemology); the standards by which he is to choose his goals and values, in
regard to his own life and character (ethics)—and in regard to society
(politics); the means of concretizing this view is given to him by esthetics.
