Thales of Melitus 620BC - 540 BC from Asia Minor was the first philosopher as per records available.
According to the great Greek Philosopher Plato who says "PHILOSOPHY" {begins in wonder}
Since then countless thinkers have tried to pin down exactly what philosophy is.
At its simplest It is the quest for enlightenment that began when human beings first started to try to comprehend the world through the power of reason.\
It is a question that seeks to probe into the most fundamental aspects of human existence.
It also asks questions about the nature of human perception, experience, knowledge and understanding.
Branches of philosophy broadly classified
Metaphysics nature of reality.
Ontology nature of being.
Logic principle for valid reasoning.
Epistemology nature of knowledge.
Ethics Study of morality.
ultimately it is push back the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding and to bring to light what has hitherto been hidden for the human mind.
