How would you choose a philosophy in D&D world?

Before I dive back into this, I think I'd like a definition of "Philosophy".

In D&D terms that tends to tie very directly to alignment, but a truly clear definition will help de-fuzzify things.

In short, we demand clearly defined areas of uncertainty. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the Hitchhiker's Guide reference.)

But to clarify what I said before, unless someone's class specifies their alignment or a hard religious philosophy, I think most people would be like they are in the real world: Too self absorbed to consciously choose a philosophy.

I mean, in real life most people wouldn't know a Jungian view from DeCarte. (...I drink therefore I am).
