📜Manifesto of the Everyday Philosopher

Remember, like all manifestos, this one too is not set in stone. It's designed to guide us, but not to dictate our actions. As the world around us changes, our understanding evolves, and our perspectives shift, so too might the principles in this manifesto.

Being an Everyday Philosopher means not following a set of rules, but continually questioning, learning, and adapting. So, while we encourage you to embrace these principles, we also urge you to never follow them blindly. Stay flexible, stay curious, and stay open to the ever-evolving journey of philosophical exploration.

1. I commit to staying curious, always seeking to learn and understand more about myself, others, and the world around me.

2. I commit to being open-minded and respectful in discussions, acknowledging that I can learn from everyone and every situation.

3. I commit to questioning assumptions, mine and others', to better appreciate the complexity and diversity of perspectives.

4. I value reason and logic, striving to cultivate sound arguments and recognize fallacies in everyday discussions.

5. I embrace the wisdom of various philosophical traditions, understanding that valuable insights can emerge from all corners of the globe and from all periods of history.

6. I use philosophical tools to foster self-reflection, continually evaluating and refining my beliefs and values.
