摘要：This paper suggests a definition of Philosophy as an activity and knowledge, different from any doctrine and ideology. This definition should also match most philosphical streams and aproaches. I propose to consider Philosophy as articulated in essential moments. Firstly, the perplexity which iniciates the process of thinking; secondly, the reflexion and ellaboration on the lived experiences; and thirdly, formalist creation and the invention of concepts. Eventually, a corollary dicusses Philosophy’s relation to society.
