Should philosophy be about understanding the world or changing the world?

Understanding will cause change. Ignorance is stagnant.
Should philosophy be about understanding the world or changing the world?
Knowledge is understanding while philosophy is the search for meanings, knowledge.
Should philosophy be about understanding the world or changing the world?
Once you understand the world you have the power to change it.
It wouldn`t be a philosophical question if it had a single correct answer.
both, but because good changes cannot be without understanding, philosophy should first try to understand the world
It is already about both.
What you believe that drives you is your philosophy. That philosophy or driving belief, is how your world is shaped. Whether you adapt your beliefs will determine if you can change the world.
i think changing the word,there will always be things of this world we will never understand
