"Is the study of philosophy just an armchair theory" I would have to emphatically answer that with a NO. Philosophy, at its best, offers one the chance to consider the thoughts of other thinkers and their assessments of LGQs (life's great questions). I can see someone new to philosophy wondering why there aren't more things published regarding the answers to these LGQs. More often we talk about why do we ask these questions, how long has humanity engaged in asking these questions, how is this question related to that question, etc.The answer, for me, is that the practice of considering these LGQs gives one perspective in each of our own lives. I am viscerally involved in the living of my own life. From my blood and guts to my daydreaming to every action I take, I am there and thinking about myself. If one pursues philosophy, lower case or capitalized, at that level, there is no way for it to be an armchair pursuit. It is a serious intellectual enterprise that requires much work and study. At the time tough situation one should see the problems, standing in the shoes of affected person and take un-biased decision. It can be concluded that philosophy is not just an armchair theory; but can be practiced in day to day life for attaining success in all walks of life.
