Socrates: "Know thyself."
Philosophy is the blade of thought we use to cut into the unknown and the minunderstood. It's a "love of knowledge/thought/reason" which I believe everyone participates to some degree, appropriate to the level of stargazing (or navel-gazing) they do with wonder. It's self-indulgent by its own nature, but it's useful. Philosophy and its child, ethics, are exactly what make a civilization civilized, and we all enjoy the benefits of that daily.
