It's difficult to narrow one's outlook down to just one philosophy, especially when you consider how there is interconnectedess.

However, you are asking about the "primary" philosophy.

I would have to say Buddhist philosophy in my own life. However, this encompasses several positions. Generally speaking, much of the philosophy of Buddhism is based on existentialism and conducted through empiricism.

It is worth noting, too, that there is a common but misleading criticism of Buddhism that suggests it is nihilistic. It's not.
