What Do You Mean By Philosophy?

The word philosophy comes from the Middle English word "philosophie", taken from the Old French, in turn from the Latin, and derived from the Greek word "philosophos" meaning a lover of wisdom. Philosophy covers the fields of ethics or how one should live, the existence of things and their natures (metaphysics), accurate principles of reasoning or logic, and what actually is genuine knowledge or epistemology. All these constitute the primary spheres of philosophy. It refers to the pursuit and love of wisdom and the use of moral self discipline and intellect to achieve this.

Perhaps the most famous philosopher was Socrates, who was forced to take poison. He followed the principle of constant questioning to arrive at an intelligent observation or truth. Plato was another Philosopher who put forward the concept of a philosopher ruler.

Philosophy is perhaps the most venerable task that humanity has been assigned. Man is distinguished from animals virtually by his mere reason. And the most refined and essential form of reason is Philosophy.

Etymologically, philosophy comes from Greek and means "Love of Knowledge." This meaning has contributed in a very significant but almost intangible way to my concept of philosophy.
In order to make you get this point properly, let me fist explain what the word knowledge means to me. Generally knowledge is not considered distinct from "data" or "information."  Actually, data or information is only something getting in your mind via five senses. For example:
1. Socrates was given hemlock for questioning the Athenian conventions.
2. Bruno Was put to fire for writing philosophy.
But this is not knowledge. Instead, if we say:

Free thinkers have often to face formidable consequences.
It'll be knowledge in the pure sense of the word. Hence, we can maintain now that knowledge is the generalization that results from our mind's processing of the contents of sense experiences. And this is whose love captivates the genius of a true philosopher.
It should be kept in mind that a generalized proposition may serve as a good premise as well and, as a matter of fact, it often does. Ergo, Philosophy is the name of being constantly in quest of highest possible generalizations that a particular time and situation allow. Don't you think it's too dynamic? Personally, I think it should be; it has to be; it is.

When you say philosophy. .as my ideas the philosophy is like a motto ..
