To philosophize is to talk about serious subjects in detail, or for a long time — life, right and wrong, what people should do, what it all means. You can use it in a straight way: someone is thinking and speaking carefully about big questions. Though actually, in ordinary English it often has a little smile in it. It can mean someone is going on and on, sitting in a chair, making large talk while the dishes wait. It is not usually a university exam word; it is what friends, parents, and columnists do at 1 a.m. It is a bit more formal than 'talk about life', but it is not stiff. British spelling is often philosophise; both are the same verb. Teachers and books may treat it as neutral; in speech it can sound teasing, as if the speaker is not being practical.
高談哲理；大談人生道理（口語裡有時帶點「講很大、不一定實際」的語氣）
組成From philosophy + the verb ending -ize (from Greek -ízō): to do philosophy, or to talk in that way.

philosophizeverb/fɪˈlɒsəfaɪz/

To ponder or reason out philosophically.
