Love and pursuit of the good. Do you know what the good is? It can also be defined as a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by a group.

The word philosophy comes from the ancient Greek words philo-, to love or to befriend, and, -sophia, to be wise. It can be construed then either as the love of wisdom or the wisdom of love. The answer to the question "what is philosophy?", has almost as many varieties as there are philosophers.
