What is Philosophy?

Philosophy can be briefly described as a system of scientific knowledge that has been formed for more than two thousand years with its terminological apparatus, objects and objects of research, as well as methods and approaches of research. At one time, European philosophical thought was supplemented by the concepts and views of thinkers in Asia, Africa and other territories, continuing to evolve with this knowledge.

The questions that were often sought by the unrelated thinkers, separated by centuries and continents, strikingly coincide, just as the disciplines singled out by the philosophers of Europe, Asia and Africa coincide, as well as the main conclusions. The learned men of the whole world struggled to resolve the theme of existence and being, the primacy and origin, both of man and his mind, of the world around him and the mechanisms of comprehension of this surrounding reality.

As in the East, they came to diametrically opposite conclusions, which the person was initially good and evil, and in the West. In Africa and Europe, thinking about the movement of the universe, mapping the sky, also around the world gave the names of stars and formulated trigonometric calculations. The reasonableness of man gave him no peace anywhere; The tool of thinking, complex mentality, abstraction and exploration of the world is more complicated than sensory experience, first mastered by philosophy, making an intensive breakthrough in knowledge. Young science rejected mythical tales, the beliefs of peoples, which became custom and accepted for the truth, denounced the fantastic concepts of religion, with varying success devaluated the influence of the latter on society, in general, and a particular individual in particular.

Philosophy is not a reasoning about something incomprehensible and meaningless like: "What color is the wind?" And so on, as it seems to the man in the street. In short, philosophy is a science that studies its specific areas, such as ethics, epistemology and others, and also accumulates knowledge of other sciences to solve specific problems that these sciences, because of their characteristics, can't be solved.
