History of Philosophy
Philosophy has been around since the dawn of western civilization.
The golden age of Greek philosophy took place in Athens in the 5th
century BC. The works of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle informed
thousands of years of thought, becoming central to thought in the Roman
world, the Middle Ages, and then resurfacing in the renaissance and
later.
Starting at the height of the Roman republic, Christian thought was
central to philosophy at least until the enlightenment. In the 18th
century, questions of how we come to know what we believe we know
(epistemology), and new ethical schools began to form. By the late
1800’s, questions of language, logic, and meaning took center stage, and
the 20th century played host to one of the largest bursts of
philosophical work ever seen. Today philosophical thought is applied to
almost every component of life, from science to warfare, politics to
artificial intelligence.
