Philosophy goes beyond the scope of most other subjects in that it does not have a top-ic that defines it. Rather, it is a certain way of looking at all kinds of topics, which al-lows the subject of philosophy to be grasped in its essence: it is a method of constantly examining and questioning: Do we have free will? What is the meaning of life? Why do people expect a universe full of randomness to be fair? These are just a few examples of philosophical questions.

By the way: If you want to learn not only philosophy but also German, you will find a lot of videos on this channel in which I talk in German about philosophical topics and works – with German and sometimes English subtitles. I try to speak slowly and clearly so that the German language can be learned by listening. This introduction is also available in German, a link can be found in the description below.

That being said, English is not my mother tongue. Feel free to point out all the big and small mistakes that I made despite the support of artificial intelligence in the form of the DeepL translator (https://www.deepl.com/de/translator). I want to improve myself.
