Philosophy is the oldest science that exists, and it is the study of a number of fundamental problems such as existence, knowledge, truth, morality, beauty, mind and language.
A little more philosophy:
It is the science that gives rise to all the others and is said to be one of the most complicated to understand. It is distinguished from mysticism, esotericism, mythology, religion and science because it carries out its investigations without the experience of knowing or knowing. Philosophy is essential for the life of
human beings , it helps us to ask ourselves questions, and if
we try to find an answer we can discover
that new unknowns arise, and in turn when finding out about something, we discover that there are many more things. Many important philosophers were themselves scientists, theologians, or politicians.
Branches of philosophy:
There are several branches and problems that form philosophy and in turn they have changed over the years, then we simply leave you studying the central branches of philosophy today:
• Metaphysics : investigates the nature, structure and fundamental principles of reality.
• Gnoseology : it is the study of the origin, nature and limits of human knowledge.
• Logic : is responsible for the study of the principles of valid inference.
• Ethics : it is the study of morality, virtue, duty, happiness and good living.
• Aesthetics : it is the study of beauty. Although some authors say that it is also the study of aesthetic experiences and aesthetic judgments.
• Political philosophy : it is based on the study of how the relationship between individuals and society (governments, laws, rights, power and other institutions) should be.
• Philosophy of language : it is the study of language in all its aspects, general and fundamental.
• Philosophy of the mind : is the study of the mind including perceptions, sensations, emotions, fantasies, dreams, thoughts and beliefs
