Because philosophy has something to say when it comes to so many aspects of life — science, art, religion, politics, medicine, etc. — there are a lot of lessons people can learn from it. Mostly, though, philosophy teaches you more about how to think about issues than specific facts and ideas and this is ultimately much more valuable. What sorts of lessons have you learned from studying philosophy and which do you believe were the most important lessons you learned?
