History Of Philosophy
~1.5 mins read
The study of philosophy involves not only forming one’s own answers to such questions, but also seeking to understand the way in which people have answered such questions in the past. So, a significant part of philosophy is its history, a history of answers and arguments about these very questions. In studying the history of philosophy one explores the ideas of such historical figures as:

 

PlatoLockeMarx
AristotleHumeMill
AquinasKantWittgenstein
DescartesNietzscheSartre
What often motivates the study of philosophy is not merely the answers or arguments themselves but whether or not the arguments are good and the answers are true. Moreover, many of the questions and issues in the various areas of philosophy overlap and in some cases even converge. Thus, philosophical questions arise in almost every discipline. This is why philosophy also encompasses such areas as:

Philosophy of LawPhilosophy of Feminism
Philosophy of ReligionPhilosophy of Science
Philosophy of MindPhilosophy of Literature
Political PhilosophyPhilosophy of the Arts
Philosophy of HistoryPhilosophy of Language

Logic
~0.3 mins read
Another important aspect of the study of philosophy is the arguments or reasons given for people’s answers to these questions. To this end philosophers employ logic to study the nature and structure of arguments. Logicians ask such questions as:

  • What constitutes "good" or "bad" reasoning?
  • How do we determine whether a given piece of reasoning is good or bad?
