think of the possible effects of a particular action.

and possible outcomes, one already engages in philosophy”.
Thus, doing Philosophy or philosophizing is a mental activity
of searching for all possible choices of actions and weighing
the positive and negative effects/results of an action. This is
the value of doing Philosophy. Through the gathered
available data and information affecting the circumstance,
things and persons involved, you can make a holistic and
integral critical analysis and rightful judgment of an issue or
concern.
