Definition
of
Philosophy

13. There are four
basic
understandings,
namely from;

14. GREEK
CHINESE
HINDU or
INDIAN
MUSLIM or
ISLAM

16. The term Philosophy was first
introduced by Pythagoras
He was the one who
coined the term
philosophia
(Etymologically).

17. It is derived from two
Greek words philia
meaning “Love” or
“Friendship” and
Sophia meaning
“wisdom”.
Literally, philosophy
means “Love of
Wisdom”.

18. For the Greeks;
“A man who knows
what is true and live by
it is a man of wisdom”.
To the Greeks;
“Knowledge is not
enough. One has to
live what one
knows”.

20. The term philosophy,
Zhe- Xue or Che Schuh was originally
coined by Dr. Nishi Amane.
Zhe means “ wisdom”
while Xue means
“study”.
Hence, Zhe-Xue is
“ Study Of Wisdom”.

21. This definition is similar
to the ancient Greeks definition
of philosophy as
“Love of wisdom”.

22. To the Chinese;
Zhe is symbolized by
the human mouth
and the human hand.

24. Which can be
implied that
philosophy is a
human activity
where there exist a
translation of
words into action
or the application
of theory into
praxis.

25. Hence,
“A man of integrity
is a person who
lives on what he
says”.

27. To the Hindus;
“philosophy is
shown in the Sankrit
words anviksiki ”.
Which means, An
examination of things
through the use of true
cognition.

to be objectives,
and to be critical
in one’s
assessment of
reality.

Arabic term which takes
the place of the Greek

symbolizes light or
illumination which is
connected to falsafa .
Hikma “enables one to
have an understanding
of the basic principles of
reality and that of
humanity”.
