Introduction
Philosophy (from the Greek meaning "love of wisdom") is the attempt to find a rational basis for our beliefs about all sorts of things including: the underlying nature of reality (metaphysics or ontology), how knowledge comes about (epistemology), the nature of morality (ethics), the source and proper arrangement of legitimate political power (political philosophy) and more.
Since philosophy looks for answers to these big questions on rational grounds, philosophers have also been concerned with the study of proper reasoning (logic).
