Philosophy critically examines the ideals that structure how people live.
Evidence
Olasunji defines philosophy as the critical examination of the ideals that individuals live by, which entail justice, morality, politics and religion. This definition is closer to reality in that it embraces almost all aspects of a people’s knowledge and foundational principles of life, although it is not clear on the importance of history. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 918
