If you are asked to write a philosophy essay, but not given a topic, you will certainly have to face up to the challenge of lack of ideas. What can philosophy essay be devoted to? Actually, every aspect of our daily life can be considered in your philosophy essay from a philosophic point of view. For example:

•    Divorces: tiredness of constance or lack of true feelings? When talking about divorces in your philosophy essay, you may provide a few approaches to the reason for divorces. Some people believe that divorces are caused by the loss of interest towards each other. They strongly believe that love goes away as the time passes. Another people are sure that true love will never bear a divorce. What is your personal point of view on this problem? Tell about it in your philosophy essay;
•    Betrayal: should it be forgiven. According to the Bible, betrayal is the worst sin a man can make. However, should it be forgiven or we must give a lesson to people who betrayed us? A philosophy essay devoted to this topic can include the ideas presented in Bible, the Koran and other Scriptures, or you can consider this topic only from moral angle;
•    Desires: the main reason for sufferings. Do you agree that when people desire something desperately but cannot get it, they suffer? Certainly! This is the basic philosophy of Buddhism that you may consider in your philosophy essay.

Your philosophy essay should be based on your personal speculations. So, you must not provide proofs, since philosophy cannot always be proved. All you need to do is to give explanations to your hypotheses.

Probably almost everybody knows Bruce Lee like unsurpassed master of martial art. Well, he really was so and it is difficult to think of any other person who could master his body like it did Lee.  Still, Bruce Lee is also famous for his philosophy – those principles according to which he was living and training.

As for me, this is the perfect topic for your philosophy essay. Great philosophers who are usually described in the philosophy essay lived not only in the Middle age. There are many other great people who lived in the 20-th century and who can be studied in the philosophy essay.

Below we are going to give you some of the principles of Bruce Lee’s philosophy.

•    Bruce Lee used to tell a story about Zen monk. This monk uses a boat to cross the river and then uses this boat to set a fire. The gist of the story is that once we have used something, we should use it further for some other purposes and in the other form.
•    In our life like in any fight not the strongest will survive, but the most adjusted to the circumstances. Circumstances are changing all the time and those who will adjust to them will be the winner.
•    People have to learn to distinguish between knowledge and understanding, Knowledge is something that is based on our previous experience. Understanding is based on the current experience.

There are a lot of other principles that can really change somebody’s life into much better. And it would be great if you write about it in your philosophy essay.

Philosophy essay has always been my favorite one, since I just liked expressing my thoughts on a certain topic. Actually, everybody can do it in the philosophy essays, since it is not necessary to discuss some sophisticated philosophy issues in your work.

Of course, you can use some for explaining your idea introduced in the philosophy essay, but you may not concentrate on a particular concept.

If I had to write an essay, I would discuss the topic of belief in peoples’ life. It is just amazing what incredible things a belief can make. By the way, belief can have both positive and negative results. The algorithm is very simple - what you believe in will happen to you.

This is why you could hear such words “Get the negative thoughts out of your head. Be positive”. Somebody may think these are only the words; they cannot influence somebody’s life. Well, you would be surprised, but they can. This is just an advice for you.

Belief is an extremely powerful tool. In fact, it can even cure people. Have you heard about placebo effect? Do you know what placebo means? Actually, this is a sort of substance that can look like a medicine. A patient, who takes this “medicine”, thinks that it really works; that it really will cure him/her. And it happens. Maybe a person will not be healed up completely, but the pain or the general state can get much better.

Can you imagine that? This is all about a strong belief. And now imagine what can happen, if you have the same strong believe about something else.

Do you have something that you have loads of thoughts and ideas about? Is there an issue that you would like to think over? If you have it, then the philosophy essay is the perfect kind of the academic assignment where you can do it.

As for me, I have been interested in one question – do people always have a choice? Do we always have at least two different ways of our actions? This topic I would like to consider, if I had to write the philosophy essay.

I know that a lot of people would say “There is always an opportunity for a person to choose from the two things”. On the one hand, it is really so. It is up to you whether you will or will not do something. For instance, you can write your philosophy essay, but you can just turn a blind eye to your work. The only thing is the consequences of your actions, but at this point you also have a choice.

However, sometimes it seems that that a person has only one way out. No matter what the consequences may be, you just cannot do something else. For instance, you have a job, but you want to change it. You start looking for a new one and cannot find it, since other options are low-paid or do not suit you in terms of your qualifications. What will you do? You will keep on working on the same position whether you like it or not.

Perhaps it is not the best example; still it shows that there are situations when you have nothing else to do. However, if you have a choice, it is really stupid not to take this chance and choose the best option for yourself.
