Philosophy in the West has its origins in Ancient Greece, but there is an important divide between [[Analytic philosophy]] (or "Anglophone philosophy") and [[Continental philosophy]]. This divide can be traced back to the late 19th century and a split in focus between [[Gottlob Frege]] and the intellectual descendants of [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel|Friedrich Hegel]].
Philosophy in the West has its origins in Ancient Greece (ca. 600 B.C.), when the first philosophers undertake an independent inquiry from theological creeds.

The main branches of philosophy are [[Metaphysics]], which is (broadly speaking) the study of what-is; [[Ethics]], the study of correct action; [[Logic]], the rules (both formal and informal) of reason; and [[Epistemology]], the study of knowledge. Notable sub-branches include [[Philosophy of Science]], [[Philosophy of language]], [[Philosophy of Religion]], [[Political Philosophy]], and [[Philosophy of mind]].
