What is philosophy?

Every person, no matter how far away from scientific activity, political struggle or revolutionary movement, is concerned about what the world will be like in the near future. What will man have to face? Of the terrible fire of war or of peaceful life? It will belong to the earth. Will the grass plant become a place for plants, animals and birds, or will scientific and technological advances lead to the destruction of all living things and their cause? Will oppression and social injustice eventually disappear from the face of the earth or are they permanent? These questions are common to all mankind on earth and to all human beings - knowledge of philosophy is needed to answer these questions and to find the right solution.

The word philosophy is made up of two Greek words: "Fellow" (love) and "Sofia" (wisdom).

Philosophy means love of wisdom.

The world that surrounds man is so vast that there is no limit to it.

Man can only understand his riddles step by step but he can never fully comprehend it. Philosophy in itself contains the constant search of man, the acquisition of infinite knowledge, the attempt to acquire the knowledge of the 'cause and effect' of all beings and to doubt its outcome. It is not unreasonable to assume that Plato is an ancient philosopher and that philosophy begins with amazement.

Very different ideas about philosophy and its meaning in ancient times

Had appeared. The great Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that all science exists for one purpose or another, and that philosophy alone is "the only free knowledge that exists only for itself." At the same time, the claim of the well-known ancient thinker and preacher Cicero was apparently the opposite: "We run to you and ask you for help." Philosophy is the guide of life, how could it exist without you, not only ours but the whole of human life. Others were of the opinion that philosophy is based on skepticism and reason, therefore it cannot be an important place of religion which is based on faith.

Even more so among contemporary thinkers about the reality and meaning of philosophy

There is a lot of disagreement. Some people think it's a science education.

Others call it closer to art, and some, such as the French writer and thinker Albert Camus, believe that there is only one real philosophical problem, and that is suicide. And last but not least, the fourth group suggests that the term "philosophy" should generally be rejected.

In order to be able to choose between these kinds of opinions, it is necessary that we ourselves be philosophers
