World Philosophy Day

Many of the popular UN celebrations tend to revolve around end-goal celebrations such as Human Rights Day or International Day of Peace.  While important, we tend to forget that these are philosophies.  And, philosophies challenge us to ask the kind of questions we don't tend to us ask when celebrating those above mentioned goals.  I really do believe Philosophy Day should merit the same kind of attention as Human Rights Day or International Day of Peace; at the very least, we need to understand from where those two concepts derive.
