Below are two Statements. Choose the correct answer from the given options.
Statement I : Philosophy means love of knowledge.
Statement II : Philosophy tries to know things immediately and remotely concern human being.
Answer: A
The key gives both statements are correct.
Statement I follows the common gloss of the word. Philosophy comes from the Greek philosophia, literally love of wisdom; many textbooks, including the Hindi rendering printed in this paper, put it loosely as love of knowledge. Statement II says philosophy tries to know things that concern human beings both near and far, that is, it covers matters that bear on human life directly and remotely. Read that way it is a broad but acceptable description of the subject.
Strictly, wisdom is a stronger word than knowledge and Statement II is awkwardly worded, and I could not find the textbook sentence either comes from. So this explanation follows the key and the paper's own wording, and the options that call either statement wrong are rejected on that reading.
