Philosophy Characteristics

Philosophy is a science of ancient origin that focuses on solving the natural need of the human being for know, there is no specific branch in which philosophy is applied, rather it gets into all the Sciences. The characteristics of philosophy are very varied, but as we said before, philosophy in its beginnings encompassed all known sciences and arts, sciences such as:

Alchemy (antecedent of chemistry), astrology, astronomy, law, sculpture, aesthetics, strategies, military, ethics, physics, epistemology, history, mathematics, metaphysics, painting, politics, psychology, religion.

Later the philosophy was losing great part of its elements, when these were individualized. Today philosophy is equally immersed in all sciences, but from an alternate and critical point of view.

The characteristics of the philosophy are:

Review.- Philosophy questions the principles that are presented to it, and breaks them down to understand all the specific points, reaching the deepest point possible.

Certainty.- The most logical and tangible answer is sought, even in matters related to the ethereal or metaphysical.

It grounds.- Philosophy covers all aspects and bases each of its steps until reaching the ultimate causes, always guided by logic and its premises
