          The highest and most noble academic discipline one can study.
          Philosophy undertakes the task of determining the fundamental nature of human existence with thorough logical analysis. Philosophy can be broken down into four major branches:

          Metaphysics: the study of ultimate reality
          Epistemology: the study of knowledge
          Ethics: the study of human actions and conduct
          Aesthetics: the study of art and beauty

                    A field of study which can essentially be divided into the subfields of epistemology, metaphysics and ethics.
                    Epistemology is the study of knowledge, how it is gained and to what degree it is possible.
                    Metaphysics is the study of what exists, how it exists and how we define it.
                    Ethics is the attempt, having decided upon theories of knowledge and existence, to create a coherent way of living.
                    Contrary to popular belief, philosophy is not, or at least does not have to be, useless. If everyone thought carefully about what they believe, why they believe it and how they should act accordingly the world would be a better place. Everyone from politicians to scientists to soccer-moms must make decisions of ethics which affect them and those around them.

                      The art of thinking.
                      Philosophy is the ability to conceptualize and articulate with other people, ideas on society, the world, how it functions, peoples roles in it, existence itself and even things such as sports and athletics. It is a very narrow-minded concept that philosophy only has to do with deep thought, but it can also be rather light.
                      Ultimately it is usually viewed as reading others thoughts, such as Aristotle, and learning arguments so you can repeat them, but I believe one whom follows philosophy would be more concentrated on finding new ways to think about things, or would rather have intelligent conversations on subjects and enjoy just simply thinking about them.
