Over the past hundred years, people around the world have been using the study of philosophy. It is because of the wise ancient Greek philosophers who started all of this. Some of these philosophers were Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.

These men each have a certain, different way of thinking that we’ve learned and studied. Without their thoughts and beliefs, we would not be questioning or thinking the way we do today. Due to their reasoning's, the philosopher's of today can also elaborate and use their conclusions to find what we know today.

Have you ever asked yourself, why you were put on this planet? Who created you? Why we use the words we use today?

Well believe it or not, that’s what philosophy is all about…
