Philosophy
Philosophy (from the ancient Greek φιλοσοφία "love of wisdom", derived from φιλεῖν [fileîn], "to love", and σοφία [sophia], "wisdom";1 trans. in Latin as philosophĭa)2 is an academic discipline and a set of reflections and knowledge of a transcendental nature that, in a holistic sense, studies the essence, the first causes and the ultimate ends of things.3 It tries to answer a variety of fundamental problems about issues such as the existence and being (ontology and metaphysics), knowledge (epistemology and epistemology), reason (logic), morality (ethics), beauty (aesthetics), value (axiology), mind (phenomenology, existentialism, philosophy of mind), language (philosophy of language) and religion (philosophy of religion).456 Throughout history, many other disciplines have emerged as a result of philosophy, and in turn it is considered the basis of all modern sciences by many authors.7 The discipline has existed since the a Antiquity in the West and East, not only as a rational activity but also as a way of life. The history of philosophy allows us to understand its evolution, development and impact on thought.
