What is the specialty of Philosophy:

Literally, the term "philosophy" means, "the love of wisdom." In a broad sense, philosophy is an activity that people undertake when they seek to understand basic facts about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships with the world and with each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is much the same. Those who study philosophy are always involved in asking, answering, and discussing their answers to the fundamental questions of life. To make this pursuit more systematic, academic philosophy has traditionally been divided into major fields of study.

History of Philosophy Specialization:

The first beginnings of philosophy go back to the sixth century B.C., when the first scholars in Western history, pre-Socratics - among them Thales, Heraclitus, and Parmenides - provided revolutionary theories concerning the natural world, human knowledge, and human's relationship with the gods.
