The Best Philosophies
I suppose philosophy is like most other things, it comes in many forms and flavors, some to your taste, some to mine.
I believe a life philosophy should contain both a rational view of the world and a moral viewpoint. That viewpoint should be both optimistic and positive in controlling our actions and dealings with our fellow humans and the natural world.
The best philosophies would call on humans to know their place in the natural order, strive to fully understand that order, and leave a "light footprint" on the beautiful world we call home.
The major operation of any good philosophy should be the increase and diffusion of knowledge. Any philosophy which attempts to direct or limit the search for knowledge is a bad one. The idea that "Humans are not meant to know", or "humans are not mature enough to handle this knowledge" is, to my mind an anti-philosophy.
