The world has seen great philosophers come and go. These men and women have done the world great justice. For instance, through their curiosity, they have brought explanations to many strange happenings. A great philosopher understands some of philosophical lingos. Philosophical terms such as Aesthetics, Epistemology, Ethics, metaphysics and wisdom are the terms a really great philosopher should know. For instance, wisdom is the practical insight for living whereas metaphysics is the study of what really exists. Aesthetics deals in art and the study of truth, belief, knowledge and rationality is epistemology. Ethics is the branch that deals with the study of good and evil, virtues and rules, character and vice as well as happiness and success.

Generally, Epistemology and ethics are the branches that have brought up a lot of heated debates and discussions. When for instance talk about Epistemology and relate it to religion, you will realise that different philosophies between different religions have brought about serious differences. Take an example of the Muslim religion and Christianity, they are almost the same but the difference in beliefs has brought about battles between them.



The most notable all time debate and confrontation is that between Scientists and religion. The duo will never agree when it comes to critical things like creation. Whereas scientists believe in the theory that man came through evolution, religion believe that man was created by God. Therefore, it is a fact that they will never share the same opinion. Each party tends to believe in the words of all time Russian philosophical thinkers who said that, “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.”
