All philosophy is assumption, ideology and belief. An open ended book that never closes. A never ending story written by no one and read by everyone. This story is inseparable from the book, and there’s nothing beyond or outside of the book.

Empirically, it is evident there is a biological teleonomic drive to preserve the species.
To do do, all living species [so human species] are 'programmed' [DNA wise] with the following;
- the drive for reproduction of the next generation
- the fear of death, very strongly within reproductive age, tapering pass that,
this two primal drives are to facilitate the preservation of the species.

Those in the know [many philosophical anti-realists] of the above facts strive to improve the efficacy of their inhibitors, so that they can be modulated to improve their well-being optimally.

Philosophy [among other purpose] is the tool to improve the efficacy of the said inhibitors.
One need the epistemology, logic and ethics/morality & dismissing metaphysics to cultivate the efficiencies of the above processes.

You mention philosophy as a tool to improve inhibitors, but isn’t that already a kind of “metaphysical” claim about what philosophy is for? Perhaps the challenge is not to dismiss metaphysics outright, but to clarify which parts of it are useful for human flourishing.

That is similar to the Munchauseen trillema.

Assumption.
Linear Regress.
Cyclicality.

That is the nature of philosophy and this nature appears as a spiral when fused together.

1. Assumption is akin to the point of awareness.

2. Linear regression is akin to the variation of views from said point of attention.

3. Cyclicality is akin to the maintenence or views from said point of attention.

4. Attention occurs through base geometric patterns, intuitively, and literally in the respect attention occurs upon forms. Forms, in foundation, are spatial by degree of the limits through which they occur.



Given this degree of observation it may be asserted that:

1. Philosophy is the occurence of forms by degree of assertion.

2. This formal nature, reflected intuitively and literally, is but a spiral and the spiral is symbolic formalism of holography as a patterned process.

3. Philosophy is a patterned process of distinction by which it justifies itself by occurence of assertions.

4. The occurence of assertions necessitates the formation of perceptual patterns by which the observer filters reality.

5. Philosophy is perceptual architecture, by this degree, and this architecture molds experiental reality by further degree of the observer.

6. The observer is the container or vessel of attention, by attention phenomena are revealed, by revealing they are transformed.

7. The transformation of phenomena is the transformation of the observer for the observer exists by degree of observing phenomena.

8. Philosophy is the means of transformation by which reality occurs for the emergence and dissolution of experiential limits is the means by which 'things are'.

9. Philosophy is a mirror of experiential reality and experiential reality is a mirror of imbibed philosophical interpretation(s).

10. Experiential reality, enfolded by philosophy, is a mirroring process.

11. By mirroring, reality unfolds by degree of the distinction of said mirrors.

12. Truth is dialectical assertions by the assertion of the dialect itself.

'Phil-o(f)-sophy', once meant love-of-wisdom.

For obvious reasons.

“ Therefore the perfect,absolute and in itself, is one,infinite, which cannot be greater or better, and that which cannot be greater or better than. This is one, everywhere, the only God, universal nature, of which nothing can be a perfect image or reflection, but the infinite “~ Giordano Bruno

[*]

As long as you identify with being a human you must misunderstand reality. Because reality is not human. Reality is infinite.

The surrender of your biological and physical identity is what humans call death.

some stories are better than others...

"better" is highly subjective...
