Here's some free advice for you, if you ever do actually manage to get to college, don't major in Philosophy. You've already failed it.

so philosophers such as Immanuel kant, Albert Camu, Stovstelski, etc, have written books to discuss their claims and why they feel they're right.

Validity of Philosophical Interpretation
Mr. Goodcat
If you had actually studied philosophy you would know that your statement "My interpertation [sp. err.] is just as valid as anyone elses [gr. err.)" is incorrect. The validity of an "interpretation" in philosophy is dependant on the evidence which backs up or, as you put it, "validates" that particular point of view (interpretation). Do not confuse an opinion with a philosophical interpretation or analysis. Your opinion may be as valid as anyone elses, but unless you can present evidence (I believe in this case it would need to come from the branch of philosophy known as ethics), any philosophical interpretation would not be.

I'll say it again, philosophy is not like like 1 + 1 = 2, <= even with this philosophers will debate '' what is the validity of knowledge?'' What makes it valid? How do we really know? There is no gospel truth. just look at all the philosophers debating philosophical questions; such as where did we come from? Why are we hear? Does god exist?, if so, where's the proof?
so philosophers such as Immanuel kant, Albert Camu, Stovstelski, etc, have written books to discuss their claims and why they feel they're right., and yeah 1+1=2 is a type of logic used in philosophy.
here's a paper I wrote on the subject;
Matters of Uncertain Fact
In David Hume’s “An Inquiry of Human Understanding”, the philosopher states a clear and direct argument regarding the nature of the human understanding of the corporeal world. In this argument, he makes a case for almost all human knowledge to be based solely on the senses, namely the inductive reasoning of “Matters of Fact”.
In order for a human being to gain an idea of an object or a thing. An object creates an impression upon our senses, upon which we base our ideas and perceptions of the object. From this initial perception, we examine the commonalities, contrasts, and relationships between other objects.
What links objects together, or what creates our sense of the outside world occurs through causation. When we become aware, through our senses, of an object interacting or changing, we find cause and effect. Through the examination of this cause and effect, we are able to come to “Matters of Fact” reasoning.
“Matters of Fact” are found by experience only, and not by the linear deductive logic that can be applied in “Relations of Ideas”, which are applied solely to mathematical sciences, such as Geometry or Algebra. “Relations of Ideas” do not require, according to Hume, any experience to discover, nor do they rely on the state of the cosmos.
Besides the “Relations of Ideas” which relate to math, all of our other ideas of the world are based on impression, ideas, and the inductive reasoning used to form “Matters of Fact”. We believe that the sun will set tomorrow because that is what our observations, our reasoning, and comprehension of the causation tell us. Nevertheless, because these “Matters of Fact” rely upon the future to conform to the known past and present, we can never be completely certain of them. Therefore, it is not completely illogical to say that, perhaps the sun may not rise tomorrow morning. Our understanding of the outside world, therefore, is limited to “the present testimony of our senses, and the records of our memory.
In summary, our knowledge of everything, outside of pure deductive logic that pertains to the “Relations of Ideas” found in mathematics, our entire sense of the world is based upon inductive logic that remains entirely uncertain, because it presupposes that the future will be the same as the past and the present.
