Philosophy has become a field were people indulge in discussions that have no value to practical life, especially if we are to consider the amount of application of the mental faculties that is expanded in arguing over terminology instead of solving the issue at hand. The definition of philosophy is itself subject to many, varied and complex permutations that do not add value to the field of study.
The techniques of philosophy would eliminate most of the practical benefits derived from science, engineering and technology if they were applied in those fields today. Philosophy has developed to a intangible, connceptually incoherent and useless field of study with no benefits to everyday life. This is undoubtedly not the essence of true philosophy, even in the more abstract things of life we use common sense and practical reasoning to come to conclusions. Philosophy in essence should provide and solidify the knowledge frameworks of everyday life permutations, adding value to humanity.
