The debut of philosophy goes all the way back to the BC era‚ when philosophers like Thales‚ Euclid and Pythagoras were asking questions about the universe‚ figuring out what stuff was made of‚ determining if empty space actually exists‚ and uncovering logic and mathematical theories. No one can state for sure who the first philosophers were‚ since not every theory and philosophical ideas were recorded in writing. When discussing historical philosophy most people divide it into eastern and western

Metaphysics: Plato and Buddhism Plato used an idea called the cave allegory to show how humans are ignorant. Before I explain a real life example‚ I will explain the Idea. In the cave there are prisoners. These prisoners cannot move because they are restrained by chains. The only thing that they can see is a wall that illuminated by a great light.
