INTRODUCTION

Etymologically, philosophy is derived from the Greek words “Philos (love)” and “Sophia” (of wisdom), which means “love of wisdom”.

Plato in his book “Republic” reflected that ‘philosophy is that love of knowledge which makes a man wise and love wisely’ and also wrote ‘he who has a taste for every sort of knowledge and who is curious to learn and is not satisfied may be just termed as a philosopher’.
