IMPORTANCE OF PHILOSOPHY TO PRACTICAL LIFE AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT


Philosophy as concern with human existence undoubtedly deals  with the  deepest problem  and issues of a man  and his existence. Philosophical problem  Koroner,  said, are those problem  that arise in the cause of trying  to  master  difficulties  in cognition
However, this legendary problem associated with   the definition of philosophy  ordinarily, is an all  embracing discipline, it covers both the humanities and the science  at the out set,  the whole field of  knowledge  (learning)  everything behold reading  writing and arithmetic  was included
  in  the  subject of  philosophy.
Philosophy is the mother of all subject . indeed, philosophy , was the  only  subject available to give answers  to  the fundamental  questions arising  from the universe and its contents. 
The  point is that, philosophy is  parental discipline from  which with the development of humanity in process of learning and knowledge acquisition, kind of  “erupted’ such that various branches  of knowledge disengaged  from it to form  organized and systematic separate field of specialized knowledge.
This  rather centrifugal movement of various braches of knowledge   from philosophy  is only indicative of mans acquisition of more extended  and better assured knowledge of classification  of phenomena
   In fact, that various specialized disciplines are only regional ontologism by their orientation and character; they deal only with fragment of knowledge hence, can only give in sufficient and penultimate of account of knowledge. For them to see knowledge in its whole, they have to go back to (their parent) philosophy the only discipline that aims at understanding the quintessential and the universal in everything that exists.
The ultimate reality that philosophers seek to know is in contrast to the every day things of this world truly, self contained and could accordingly, be looked upon as self caused. To arrive at does full justice in explaining that is. The point is that we cannot explain things satisfactorily if we remain within the world of common sense or even if one advances from that world to embrace the world of science.
In conclusion, important of philosophy to practical life and human development is that philosophy is as love of wisdom means a continuous search for wisdom, the pursuit of wisdom not for gains but for its own sake.
Wisdom is higher than  knowledge aptly shown by Aristotle(1966:5T5-57)  according to  him, that  all men desire  to know different degree of  knowledge, Aristotle  also  view,  that  highest wisdom does not  aim at producing  anything or securing some effect, but at  apprehending  the first principles of  reality. Philosophy to practical life and  development concern with all legitimate thinking of how man lives in this  would  rather than   with the ultimate nature  of being man is a centre of all thinking  he is active and  creative, he might  be other than he is, man makes his essence as he goes along. He is indeed, the focus of all activities (accoding jean  Paul Sartre )
Finally philosophy helps in development of humanity in  acquisition  of wisdom  and knowledge through reasoning,  matters affecting human fate  and   conduct in the most basic  way
