This is probably a stupid question, but is there anything that almost all philosophers agree on, or is everything in philosophy up for debate?

Anything almost all philosophers agree upon and that isn't up for debate generally isn't "philosophy," because philosophy is an academic endeavor that investigates open questions. If a question is closed then it isn't really an issue for philosophers to investigate. So, for instance, all philosophers agree that the world is round and that the gods don't cause rain and that earthquakes aren't caused by wind inside the earth and that evolution explains the diversity of life we see (although at one point in time philosophers didn't agree on these things and they were live philosophical issues).
