Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.[1] Philosophies of Golarion differ from religions in that they are teachings and ways of thinking that are propounded by a mortal founder who, usually, does not become a deity. By assenting to a particular philosophy, one is generally not limited in choosing any particular occupation; however, some combinations of philosophy and religion present inherent conflicts.[2][3] The study of various fundamental underpinnings of many philosophies is known as metaphysics.[4]
