I think philosophy is man's noble, vain quest to separate himself from the other creatures on Earth.
Philosophy is the system that creates the ideas that we use to give purpose and meaning to the lie that our lives are special outside of eating, sleeping, and procreation. Art, math, science, chocolate pudding, the atom bomb... grand things... they fit in that somewhere.
