Pondering the mysteries of the Universe isn’t something that you just have to do in real life, Thinking about the world, its mysteries, and the elements surrounding it are all parts of a philosophical approach. But to adopt this lifestyle in the virtual world, you need to learn how to make Philosophy in Little Alchemy 2.
When you think of Philosophy in the real world, it is nothing more than an idea or a thought process in your head, so how do you actually go about making it inside a game?
What ingredients do you need to make philosophy in Little Alchemy 2?
Philosophy is, simply put, one of the hardest elements to make in Little Alchemy 2. And this is entirely due to how many items you actually have to make before you can get the two primary ingredients required to make Philosophy. You can create philosophy by combining Human and Idea. But that is not the only way to create Philosophy. We’ve also provided alternative recipes at the end.
But to create these ingredients, you will need to combine a lot of ingredients. Below, we have a step by step guide on how to create Philosophy with the guide on creating each ingredient (Human and Idea).
Making a Human

Combine the following to create a Human:
- Air + Air = Pressure
- Water + Earth = Mud
- Earth + Pressure = Stone
- Water + Water = Puddle
- Water + Puddle = Pond
- Water + Pond = Lake
- Water + Lake = Sea
- Earth + Fire = Lava
- Lava + Sea = Primordial Soup
- Earth + Lava = Volcano
- Primordial Soup + Volcano = Life
- Mud + Stone = Clay
- Life + Clay = Human
Making Idea

Next, we need to create Idea. Idea is created by combining previously created Human and a Lightbulb. You might already have some of the ingredients listed below such as Land, acquired while creating Human. But we will go through it again, regardless.
- Stone + Air = Sand
- Sand + Fire = Glass
- Earth + Earth = Land
- Earth + Land = Continent
- Continent + Continent = Planet
- Planet + Fire = Sun
- Fire + Fire = Energy
- Sun + Energy = Solar Cell
- Sun + Solar Cell = Electricity
- Electricity + Glass = Lightbulb
- Lightbulb + Human = Idea
Making Philosophy

Once you have the two main ingredients – Human and Idea – to make Philosophy, simply combine them.
- Human + Idea = Philosophy
Alternative Recipes
You can create Philosophy in two more ways. First, by combining Human and Story, and second, by combining Egg and Chicken. Let’s take a look at these methods step by step.
Human & Story Method

We will start from zero, assuming you’ve not created human or idea yet.
- Earth + Fire = Lava
- Lava + Fire = Stone
- Stone + Air = Sand
- Water + Earth = Mud
- Sand + Mud = Clay
- Fire + Fire = Energy
- Water + Water = Puddle
- Water + Puddle = Pond
- Water + Pond = Lake
- Earth + Earth = Land
- Earth + Land = Continent
- Continent + Continent = Planet
- Planet + Air = Atmosphere
- Water + Air = Mist
- Mist + Atmosphere = Cloud
- Cloud + Energy = Lightning
- Fire + Stone = Metal
- Metal + Lightning = Electricity
- Electricity + Lake = Life
- Life + Clay = Human
We choose the above route to also create other essential ingredients, such as Lightning, which we will use again now. Now you combine the following to create Philosphy:
- Human + Lightning = Hero
- Human + Hero = Story
- Human + Story = Philosophy
Egg & Chicken Method

Starting from scratch once more, assuming you haven’t unlocked anything, ensures you create only the required ingredients, nothing extra or less. Let us first create a Chicken:
- Water + Water = Puddle
- Water + Puddle = Pond
- Water + Pond = Lake
- Water + Lake = Sea
- Sea + Lava = Primordial Soup
- Fire + Fire = Energy
- Primordial Soup + Energy = Life
- Earth + Earth = Land
- Land + Life = Animal
- Animal + Air = Bird
- Water + Earth = Mud
- Fire + Mud = Brick
- Brick + Brick = Wall
- Wall + Wall = House
- Air + Air = Pressure
- Earth + Pressure = Stone
- Fire + Stone = Metal
- Metal + Earth = Plow
- Plow + Earth = Field
- Field + House = Barn
- Barn + Bird = Chicken
Now, we need an Egg to combine with the Chicken to create Philosophy.
- Life + Fire = Phoenix
- Phoenix + Phoenix = Egg
You can finally combine both the Egg and the Chicken to get Philosophy:
- Chicken + Egg = Philosophy
What can you make with Philosophy?
Philosophy can be used in the game to make quite a few unique items. Some notable ingredients include:
- Philosophy + House = Container
- Philosophy + Grave = Death
- Philosophy + Science = Idea
- Philosophy + Wind = Motion
- Philosophy + Lava = Heat
- Philosophy + Universe = Big
- Philosophy + Ant = Small
- Philosophy + Gold = Alchemist
