Concept of philosophy

          the word 'philosophy' comes from several

foreign words, namely   philo   (love) of Greek
and   sophos   (wisdom, wisdom). So, the combination
of these two words means love to the policy or   love of
wisdom in English.
          philosophy is defined as knowledge and
research on the causes of existence or of truth and
meaning exists.
          philosophy can be defined as true and rational
thinking or scenery. The thought generated by these
thinkers is the result of the raising of the mind as a
result of their study using a systematic and logical
method of logic.
          the term philosophy is well known for the word
'think'. thinking is insufficient to cover the whole
philosophical meaning but it is necessary to have
certain characteristics to determine the validity of
whether such a thing is philosophy or not. These three
features are, think critically, think universally and think
integral.
