Need your help with a quick translation of a sentence I dont quite get

[Kongming21]

HEy everyone,

just came across this sentence and dont quite get it.

哲学是以真理的名义考察何为真理的反思性实践。

Does 何为 mean "what is?"

What does 反思性 mean here? The "rethought practice?"

Thanks in advance for any help.

You are right.何为 means "what is",反思性 means reflective(reflect over the past). Hope my answer can help you.

何 = 什么, 为 = 是

Thanks for the help. But could someone try to translate the sentence ?

All I can come up with is:

Philosophy is a reflective practice that in the name of the truth investigates what the truth is.

Does that make any sense at all?
