Is there a standard definition for Philosophy? If not, why?

Do you think it is useful to have one?

AFAIK, there is no standard definition, because there is no common characteristics between all bits of Philosophy. I think we can solve this problem by concentrating on what is most relevant, and leaving the rest for other fields, maybe new fields.

That's not a definition, it is the etymological meaning of the word.
