Greek Philosophy. It was Pythagoras (ca. 582 - 504 BC) who gave Philosophy its name "the love of wisdom". 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 The Cynicism, The Epicureanism and The Stoicism.
