What is "philosophy"? (2)

Philosophy (philosophy) is the word from the Greek Phileo (Love) and Sophia (wisdom) of the etymology synthesis, philosophy historians generally believe that Pythagoras first used this concept, 19th century Japanese according to Chinese ancient literature "zhe, Zhi also" and translates it as "philosophy", meaning that wisdom of learning and so on.

"Material" all the way: to Thales "Water", anaximander "amorphous", Anaximini "Qi", Heraclitus "fire" as the beginning, and then by the Anaxagoras "seed", tu Empedocles "fire, Water, rustic", until Leucippus and Democritus "atom" and reached maturity; "form" All the way: with Pythagoras's "number" as the beginning, through the Elea School of Parmenides and Zeno transition, to Socrates and Plato's "idea" and reached maturity. Euclid's "Form Theory" is the continuation of its expression, and Aristotle's "Formal Logic" is its final summary.
