Philosophy, proper, is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. It is a methodological study of general and fundamental questions regarding topics like existence, reason, knowledge, ethics, value, mind, and language. Philosophy is a critical inquiry on methods used and formed assumptions.

 

The Philosophy of Fashion has emerged as an area of philosophical studies that explores ideas of how beings use fashion for individualistic expression. This includes how as 'beings in the world' we use fashion as a source of knowledge. Fashion will philosophically be viewed through the lens of cultural identity within societies over space and time.
