 PHILOSOPHY

This word comes from two Greek

words: philos (love) and sophia
(wisdom). The ancient Greeks used
this term to refer to “love of wisdom”
and they soon applied it to the study
or discipline that uses human reason
to investigate the ultimate causes,
reasons, and principles which govern
all things.
