Philosophy

Philosophy has inspired kings, emperors, generals, scholars, and ordinary people throughout the ages. Some of them, such as the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, have been philosophers themselves. Evidently, philosophy can help us understand the motives of individuals throughout history and thus can be an important asset for historical research. But what is philosophy?

The area is so broad and ever-growing that a comprehensive answer is impossible to be given. There are many different disciplines within the different schools of philosophy that have existed throughout the ages, many of which have absolutely nothing to do with each other. There are – in no particular order – Ethics, Metaphysics, Linguistic Philosophy, Logic, Stoicism, Epicureanism, Anthropological Philosophy, Nihilism, Existentialism, and many more. Articles concerned with some of the different schools of thought within the field of philosophy may be published here from time to time.
