I think therefore I am. I question to hear an answer. I evaluate to find what is relevant and meaningful. The answer better be "good" or I will continue to question.

Philosophy is the critical study of fundemental beliefs and the grounds for them.

I have read philosophers who question everything, even Reality ("thats not a chair its a dog") and philosophers who come to conclusions before a fact is established (there is a god). Most philosophers are wordy and over think and analyze, way beyond what is necessary, just to explain a thing you have known since childhood.

The Simple confound the Complex and the Complex confound the Simple.
