The ancient Greek roots of the word "Philosophy" are philia, meaning love, and sophia, meaning wisdom.

Over the millennia, philosophers have developed a variety of techniques to structure human thought and formalize systematic inquiry:

Techniques like these serve as filters, separating good ideas from bad, but they produce nothing by themselves. They produce the richest results when fed a diet of dream and vision.

Software development at Applied Philosophy strives to bring the best principles of human thought to solving everyday problems. We use philosophy to write software and sometimes write software to support philosophical inquiry.
