What is philosophy*?

Etymologically, philosophy means love of wisdom. Before being a field of study, it is above all a way of seeing the world, of questioning it. The founding principle of philosophy is perhaps the astonishment, source of the questions. Then, philosophy related to the activity of argue rationally about astonishment. * We have published more than 500 articles, all seeking directly or indirectly to answer this question. Know first of all that there is no single answer to this question.

Mission

The-Philosophy helps high-school & university students but also curious people on human sciences to quench their thirst for knowledge.

The site thus covers the main philosophical traditions, from the Presocratic to the contemporary philosophers, while trying to bring a philosophical reading to the cultural field in general, such as cinema, literature, politics or music.

About

Since 2008, The-Philosophy.com acts for the diffusion of the philosophical thoughts.

Independent from any institution or philosophical thought, the site is maintained by a team of former students in human sciences, now professors or journalists. The columns of the site are open to external contributions.
Julien Josset, founder.
