Philosophy is such a broad field that I think it would be hard to give a good overview of the entire field. Philosophers love formal logic, so that's one thing that's of interest. Once you have a good understanding of logic, Philosophy aims to investigate important questions that other fields don't seem to have a good grasp of. Here are some of them: - How can that sensation of redness that you experience when you look at a ripe tomato arise from or be explained by scientific law, which seems to only answer questions that are very qualitatively different from this question? And how do you know that your friend has that same sensation of redness? Perhaps when he looks at a ripe tomato, what he experiences is what you experience when you look at a blueberry. - If Star Trek transporters work by ripping apart all your atoms and then making a copy of you at the other end from atoms at the destination, would that still be you? Or would you have died, and there be a new person who is deluded into thinking he's you. - When you push around a wrinkle in your bed-spread, is that wrinkle itself a real thing, or is it just similar different bunches of your bed-spread? - If you could murder one innocent person to save ten people, would that be the right thing to do? If so, why? If not, why not? What if you could save a million people instead?
