What is Philosophy?

What is philosophy? Is a difficult question to be answer? We can help this question to be answered meanly three approaches.
1. To understand and defined philosophy.
2. To study the history of western and eastern philosophy.
3. To study the nature and scope of philosophy.
As the team has its roots in the language of ancient Greeks, The definition can start with it. Philosophy means love of wisdom or Love of knowledge. Wisdom is some short of knowledge which give the real understand.
The idea of philosophy and west has not been parallel to that an India. India philosophers never contact with why they experience to known the reality they believe that they should have a deep understanding of the man and universe. According to Greek philosopher Plato, philosophy is the mutant of all science in Greek philosophy all science will study another subject of philosophy. Many philosophers defined their idea of it.
According to the (1) Aristotle philosophy is the sciences which consider truth he calls the subject first philosophy.
2.      Herbert Spencer describe philosophy as concerned with everything is Universe science.

The feel of philosophy is a vase one if include everything. However, no philosophy can grasp everything at one philosophy is consider traditionally dell with the following area.
1. Metaphysics (beyond)
2. Epistemology (the theory of knowledge)
3. Ethics (Moral philosophy)

Although different definitions are given to explain philosophy and religion basically they do not contradict each other. Philosophy and Religion are the two moons under the man apprehend universe. Philosophy and Religion may differ to some extent but in fact they are complementary to each other. A man needs a better philosophy and a better religion.
Philosophy and Religion have only one purpose that it is seeking unity and through diversity. In philosophy the purpose of is peace, harmony, adjustment, salvation philosophy and religion. It is and interlace and logically interpretation of religion experience.
Most philosophy incorporate religious beyond in the wide senses connect with a reality beyond appearing and the senses. They have provided philosophy of religion. Sometime certain religions are interview using the objective of philosophy. Therefore, modern scholars identified that philosophical think may include certain religion. Philosophy of religion is the philosophical examination of the central think and concern involved in religion tradition it include all the main area of philosophy it include an investigation into the religious significant historical even and general feature of society.
The philosophy of religion is not an organ of religious teaching. Religious practices, rituals, worship, prayer, etc. Need not to be undertaken from the standpoint of philosophy of religion. All these are the activity of religion like the religious teaching, but philosophy of religion. We have to observe philosophical aspects of all these organs of religion.

Immanuel Kant has been called the second founder of modern philosopher with him philosophy become to take and interest and human knowledge it verities scope and limited though he was incline to interpret all religious essential inter of morality the believing God was justified as the holding of regulative idea that bring coherence into all of man’s thinking.
