  • Abstract:
  • Philosophy permeates every aspect of human life. Politics, religion, social policy, mind-body relationship, ethics etc. are free roaming of philosophy in every field. That every subject of human endeavor (such as natural science, sociology, art, theology, etc.) is bound to reach the philosophical level at some point through the continuum. But nevertheless a charge is leveled against philosophy that philosophy is only preoccupied with theorizing and does not look into the practical life of man. People often face various problems. If philosophy does not come forward to solve the problems of practical life, then philosophizing seems futile. But if you think about it a little, it will be seen that philosophy has a direct or indirect effect on the practical life of people. If so, then philosophers cannot remain indifferent to the problems that people face as family, social, religious and political life changes through the ages. Due to the unbridled expansion of science and technology in the present era, people are facing various problems and in the urge to survive, they seek solutions to these problems. Science and technology are a part of human life today and it is undeniable that human life has become much easier and smoother with the blessings of science. But there is also the curse of science and technology, with the impact of which people face much more serious problems. Some issues are old but traditional, such as the intimate relationships of family life, issues of war and peace, which are human consciousness.
