What’s your background in philosophy?

My concern is that this essay will come off as pseudo-intellectual and “up in the clouds” to the point where it doesn’t say anything about you.

For what it’s worth, I think it’s best to interpret the prompt in this way:

“Describe a problem you’ve solved. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took.”
