filozofi

Filozofi is the Albanian term for philosophy, the systematic study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It seeks to clarify concepts, construct arguments, and evaluate the justification of beliefs rather than relying solely on empirical data. Through reasoned inquiry, filozofi addresses what can be known, how we ought to act, and how meaning is formed in thought and communication.

Core branches include metaphysics (the nature of reality), epistemology (the theory of knowledge), ethics (moral questions), logic (principles of valid reasoning), aesthetics (beauty and art), and political philosophy (the foundations of society). The philosophy of science, mind, language, and religion are also central areas. Common methods include conceptual analysis, argumentation, thought experiments, and comparative study across cultures and historical periods.

Historically, filozofi has roots in ancient civilizations, with significant development in Greek philosophy, Indian and Chinese traditions, and later in the Islamic and European medieval and modern periods. In recent centuries, it has diversified into analytic and continental traditions, among others. Today, philosophy informs and is informed by science, law, and humanities, contributing to critical thinking, methodological rigor, and ethical reflection across educational and public contexts.
