Φιλοσοφία, or "philosophy," is the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, and reality. It seeks to understand the nature of the world and our place in it through critical thinking and logical analysis. Philosophers explore various topics, including ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology, often drawing on the works of influential figures like Σωκράτης (Socrates) and Πλάτωνας (Plato). Philosophy encourages individuals to question assumptions and develop their own beliefs. It has shaped many fields, including επιστήμη (science), πολιτική (politics), and τέχνη (art), influencing how we think about morality, society, and the universe. Through philosophical inquiry, we can gain deeper insights into the human experience.
