What is Philosophy?
Philosophy is the study of the nature of reality and existence, what is possible to know, and right and wrong behavior. It comes from the Greek word philosophisa, which means 'love of knowledge.' It is one of the most important areas of human thought as it aspires to achieve in the very meaning of life.
