[fəˈlɒsəfərz]
German
Persian
Russian
Spanish
philosopher

A philosopher is someone who thinks deeply about big questions like existence, morality, and how the world works. They try to understand these things by using reason and evidence.

When people talk about philosophers, they usually mean someone who writes or teaches about philosophy. But it's not just academics – anyone can be a philosopher in their own way by asking themselves tough questions and trying to figure out what they think is true. You might even consider yourself a philosopher when you're lost in thought on a bus ride home from work, wondering why humans do this and that. Philosophers come from all walks of life, but one thing's for sure: they're always curious about the world and how it fits together.
