Philosophy

Today in class we started out with our new unit Philosophy. We watched a video about it by Hank Green ;
Basic Philosophy:
Why do you do what you do ?
Why do you think what you think ?
Why do you feel what you feel ?

Philos means science and Mythos means storytelling in Greek.

Philosophia is the love of wisdom.
Philosophy is academic study of anything.
Plato's Academy is the first universities in the western world.
Philosophy come to be understand more as a way of thinking about questions.

What is world like?
What is the nature of reality?

Is the world just made up of matter and energy or is there something else going on?

Do I have a soul?

Metaphysics
The branch of Philosophy that studies the nature of reality

Epistemology
The branch of Philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge
