'''Philosophy''' ({{Greek|φιλοσοφία}}, {{Latin|philosóphia}}, literally "love of wisdom") attempts to interpret and understand the [[world]] and [[human existence]] with the help of [[reason]].

It differs from other [[science]]s in that it is not limited to a particular field or methodology, but is characterised by the nature of its questions and its particular approach to its diverse subject matter.

This article deals with Western (also: Occidental) philosophy, which emerged in ancient Greece in the 6th century BC. It does not deal with the traditions of Jewish and Arabic philosophy, which have a manifold connection with Western philosophy, or with the traditions of African and Eastern philosophy, which were originally independent of Western philosophy.

In antique philosophy, systematic and scientifically oriented thought developed. In the course of the centuries, the various methods and disciplines of understanding the world and the sciences differentiated themselves directly or indirectly from philosophy, in part also in distinction to irrational or religious [[worldview]]s or [[myth]]s.

The core areas of philosophy are [[logic]] (as the science of [[logical thinking]]), [[ethics]] (as the science of right action) and [[metaphysics]] (as the science of the first reasons of being and reality). Other basic disciplines are [[epistemology]] and [[philosophy of science]], which deal with the possibilities of gaining [[knowledge]] in general and specifically with the ways of knowing of the various individual sciences.
