Actually Philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge, truth and the meaning of a life. Philosophy is from two words, philos- meaning to love and Sophie meaning wisdom, the two combined together to form the meaning 'to love wisdom'. This term is believed to be coined by Pythagoras, who is referred to be the first known philosopher.
