Simply, the word “philosophy” means “love of knowledge”. In a broader sense, philosophy is an activity in which people try to understand the fundamental and subtle truths about themselves, the world around them and the environment, as well as the mysteries of human relationships with this world as well as with each other. This activity is known as “philosophy.” People who study philosophy essentially engage in questioning, responding to, and presenting arguments using the fundamental and nuanced wisdom of life.
Areas of philosophy :
- Philosophy of law
- Religious philosophy
- Philosophy of Science
- Spiritual philosophy
- Political philosophy
- Philosophy of history etc.
Because philosophy has such a broad scope, it may be challenging to break down its many topics and approaches into logical and coherent subheadings that can be easily comprehended by the average person. To put it another way, if you want to be fluent in philosophy, you need to succeed in several fundamental disciplines, such as spiritualism, epistemology, ethics, and logic. These are the subjects that make up the foundation of philosophy.
