is the study of knowledge, or "thinking about thinking", although the breadth of what it
covers is perhaps best illustrated by a selection of other alternative

 The three great men of the Greek Classical Philosophy

 All throughout the ages every human being at one time or another or often in his
lifetime, whenever he enters into himself and reflects on his life must have asked:
himself some questions such as:

What sort of thing am I?

Why am I here?
What must I do to live well and happy?
