'''Greek Philosophy'''. It was [[Pythagoras]] (ca. 582 - 504 BC) who gave Philosophy its name "the love of wisdom". [[Presocratic Philosophy|Presocratic Philosophers]] were the first [[Greek]] philosophers of the Western tradition. After them came [[Socrates]] who became the first notable teacher in the Academy, his pupil [[Plato]], who believed reason was the key to knowledge, and [[Aristotle]] who believed that experience was the right way to gain knowledge. Aristotle eventually founded the [[Lyceum]].
After this philosophical golden age other systems appear, like [[Cynicism|The Cynicism]], [[Epicureanism|The Epicureanism]] and [[Stoicism|The Stoicism]].
