Is Philosophy Literature?

[ladjf]

5. A person's World view or philosophy is based upon that individual's best efforts to practice the

science of philosophy to the best of the abilities. In that sense, the individuals comments about
life whether spoken or written are always a reflection of the World view.

I view philosophy as the science of determining values. "A philosophy" is not the science but rather the result of practicing the science of philosophy.

Further, I view the science of philosophy to be perhaps the most important science and yet is it rarely taught in schools and when it is, it seems to deal largely with surveys of the History of Philosophy" rather than practicing the art/science of determining truths.
