A philosopher is a person with an extensive intellectual knowledge of philosophy who uses this knowledge in their work, typically to solve philosophical problems. 

In the ancient empire of Greece, A philosopher was a person who was known for attributing his wisdom and intellect to the Greek god called “Zeus“.

Philosophers debated and discussed issues for the sake of extracting and eliminating the hebrew God out of the topic, so that the philosophical debated discussions may be filtered via the logic senses of reasoning which upholds the attributes of humanism.

Philosophy is concerned with studying the subject matter of fields such as aesthetics, ethics, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, astronomy, humanism as well as social philosophy and political philosophy.

However, a more generally accepted interpretation in academia is that a philosopher is one who has attained a Ph.D. 


Philosophical debats held by philosophers were used as tools of inspiration and motivation by those who were in the position of leadership, also called “the learning of the creative ones or the learning of the upper class citizens and the free thinkers“.

Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.
