Philosophy is learning based on reason.
Sometimes the things that we believe is right might be wrong in the perspective
of others. It depends on how they understood it and how they reason out on such
things.
Ethics is what we call Moral
Philosophy. It is knowing the difference between good and bad, right and wrong.
It is rightfully judging what we see and observe around us. We just don't give
out opinions, we must think carefully the right words to say so that people will
believe us and not think of us a laughing stock because of all the non-sense we
say.
By just reading the definitions of Philosophy and Ethics, I can really say that studying this is important. The reason is that it molds the character of a person, as a student and as a whole human being. It teaches us the proper way to think and respond to such situations.
Socrates: I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
Yes, I do agree with this saying simply because all of us have our capacities, our limitations. Saying that being wise is knowing that you know nothing for me, means that we know when to do things and when we should stop and think first. Jumping into conclusions without thinking and having an "I know everything" mindset is just stupid. Firstly, it's not a humble thing to say. Secondly, it just says that you don't know your limitations. We should always think first before acting.
