WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?
Philosophy is the method that, starting from reflection (questions), yields an intuition of new knowledge. Philosophy is based on reasoning. The branches of Philosophy are: Logic and Gnoseology or Epistemology, which study knowledge; Metaphysics and Ontology, which study Being; Ethics, which studies moral values; Aesthetics, which studies beauty; History of Philosophy; and finally, Philochrony. Philochrony describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Philochrony emerged on March 13, 2009. The main philosophers in history are: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, René Descartes, Immanuel Kant, John Locke, David Hume, Friedrich Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. The main currents of philosophy are idealism and materialism. Idealism can be objective (Plato) and subjective (George Berckely). Materialism can be mechanistic (Ludwig Feuerbach) and dialectical (Karl Marx). Philosophy originated in ancient Greece with the ideas of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
