Is philosophy a sin?

Philosophy is the love of knowledge.

Pr 1:7 ¶ The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Pr 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.

Pr 14:6 ¶ A scorner seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not: but knowledge [is] easy unto him that understandeth.

Pr 24:14 So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul: when thou hast found [it], then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Begin your philosophical pursuits by acknowledging that God is God and you will do well.

But you cannot discover God through philosophy. Socrates was a polytheist; he did not discover God. Paul preached to his followers at the Areopagus.

You can only discover what God has revealed.
