Abstract

Even though the philosophical thoughts are as old as human history, it became systematized during the old Greek period starting from almost sixth century before Christ. During this era, the rational thinking is based on the philosophical inferences without training and testing, and therefore, they were all speculative thought generations. Although many of such rational statements were proved to be valid, later many others remained as invalid. Philosophy is the art of thinking freely without any restriction about any event or phenomenon. Early humans were stimulated towards thinking by getting feedbacks from objects of natural or artificial characters. Any branch of knowledge and information were gathered under the umbrella of philosophy without distinction between events.
