The definition of philosophy varies almost down to the individual. Technically it is the use of reason. More specifically it is the use of language. Even more specifically it is the use of evidence that compensates for human sense perception reason and language. Even more specifically than that it is the attempt to create systems of decision making (paradigms) that increasingly include (adapt to) innovations from the sciences. Even more specifically philosophy seeks choice where science seeks testimony, and testimony seeks tesifiability. So technically speaking, philosophy is limited to choice and science is limited to truth.
Unfortunately, philosophy is almost exclusively justificationary and linguistic and makes use of sets rather than adversarialism and operations.
So you know, I think you’ve defined the disicipline so that you can answer it instead of what it can answer without engaging in falsehoods such as conflating the prefernetial or the good and the subjective with the true, and objective.
But that just means you’re normal. 😉
