Philosophy reflects on big questions such as how should we live our lives, and what is the nature of the world we live in. It overlaps with other fields—the arts, law, politics, and the sciences—and is especially concerned with their fundamental concepts and assumptions, their foundations, and indeed the methodology of philosophy and its concerns are themselves subjects of philosophical inquiry.
