Question

question 2
which of the following is a benefit of philosophy?
philosophy defends what is traditional in society.
philosophy maintains society’s collective memory.
philosophy is useful as a tool to justify personal opinions.
philosophy improves understanding of argumentation.

Explanation:

Philosophy focuses on critical thinking and logical reasoning, which directly builds skills in analyzing and constructing arguments. The other options are incorrect: philosophy often challenges tradition rather than just defending it; collective memory is tied to history/sociology, not philosophy; and philosophy emphasizes justified, critical beliefs over justifying personal opinions.

Answer:

Philosophy improves understanding of argumentation.
