   The word is Greek; it means "love of wisdom".   
   Ancient philosophers pursued knowledge and understanding. They included   
   what we'd call "science", but over the ages such things have been   
   stripped off and rebranded as the "empirical sciences". Philosophy is   
   left with not much more than an inquiry into the very tools of   
   understanding. Reason itself.
