Is the book Little Stories, Big Philosophies a philosophy?

Belongs, for the position of philosophy in a variety of disciplines, it is necessary to have a clear tree-like structure in the brain, in the canopy, at the root of the tree, philosophy is supporting the growth of the tree and showing its strength.

Agree with the second floor, philosophy is everywhere, which can also be translated as, there is never a lack of philosophy in life, what is missing is only philosophical thinking.

After all, philosophy pays attention to practice and content, and you can't see it from the title alone, so you can read it yourself, think about it in connection with practice and then make a decision.

Personally, I think that all books can be read as philosophy books, but there are shallow and deep, some are more theoretical, some are more practical, etc. (of course, you can also divide the categories of philosophical books from the starting point of elaboration, etc., too much, not to go into details, the philosophical sect disputes have not stopped from the moment of the birth of mankind). And once you read a book as a philosophy book, you will find that an ordinary book becomes very broad.

Guess who I am...

The title of the book is "Little Stories, Big Philosophies" and it is yours in itself.

Broadly speaking, everything is philosophy, because philosophy is the discipline that stands at the apex of wisdom. Other disciplines study things, study people's works, and philosophy studies the human mind—nothing is more complex, more elusive, more irregular.

In a narrow sense, philosophy is characterized by systematization and theorization. Pay attention to the logic is rigorous, the structure is clear, and the argument is rigorous. This book obviously cannot be divided into philosophy. It tells you something, and philosophy, should tell you why these things make sense.

If you're interested, just look at it, and it's good to see what you like.

Of course it belongs, small things look big problems.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
