What makes you interested in philosophy?

It helps me win any spiritual or political debate, whilst also enabling one to translate ideas from Eastern philosophy into the western concept of thinking. It is only through philosophy can a western person understand Buddhism, and not from the religious sense as would a person growing up in a Buddhist culture. So philosophy is very important as it exercises one mental cognitive abilities and therefore leads to a more logical and reasoned world. If philosophy was taught instead of religious studies or alongside it, what a difference I believe it would make on the education of young people at school. Philosophy promotes creative thinking, and a culture of reason and logic, morals and ethics, much needed in our morally deficit society. If there was more of the influences of philosophy in the halls of power, I believe there would be a lot less wars and economic blunders.
