Default Re: What practical use is philosophy?

You have described many answers to your question as not sensible. I would say that this mistake you are making as an answer IS the practical use when converted

Like meditation or academics, philosophy is an “opportunity” to examine ones mind or minds dynamics; abilities and inabilities of perception and their natures through perceiving and of course not perceiving.

It is a way of examining our thoughts behind the thoughts as we have thoughts that lead to and away from the thought of having thoughts or not and of course what that may look like if one were to ask that line of question.

If you cannot sense the practicality of how it may be practical then maybe you should try some of it and learn how too. Or maybe you actually do sense it, and are looking for something else?

Are you simply looking for a succinct reply? If that is the case I would say this:

If you want to see something sensible then look with sensible eyes.
But of course, you could remain on course, and see nothing sensible too.
Seek your truth or seek your lies, but seek your awareness unbridled, and they will both find you.
