History of philosophy

The history of philosophy tracks the multitudinous theories which aim at some kind of understanding, knowledge or wisdom on fundamental matters as diverse as reality, knowledge, meaning, value, being and truth. Each culture, prehistoric, ancient, mediæval, and modern; Eastern and Western; religious and secular; have had their own unique schools of philosophy, as well as those shared through both inheritence and independent discovery. Such theories have grown from different premises and approaches, examples of which include rationalism (through logic), empiricism (through observation), and even through leaps of faith, hope and inheritance (such as the supernaturalist philosophies and religion).
