The word philosophy in the original Greek means "love of wisdom." The branches of philosophy are logic (thinking systemically about complicated problems), epistemology (how do I/We know that we know?), metaphysics (what is the nature of existence?), ethics (how should I/We live?), and aesthetics (what is beauty?) Science was originally called natural philosophy referring to the search for knowledge of the workings of the natural world, and encompassed today's disciplines of mathematics, astronomy, and physics.
