These traits will bless others, help you succeed, and make a positive impact on your community. Philosophy as we know it starts around the sixth century BC and can be divided into four main eras: ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary. Philosophers in each of these eras dealt with similar issues and questions, but each era is unique. Ancient philosophers tended to focus on metaphysics and the nature of reality. Medieval philosophers were especially interested in the relationship between faith and reason in general and in regard to the reasonableness of Christianity in particular. Modern philosophy emphasized epistemology and tended to start from questioning what is real rather than reasoning about what is believed to be real. Contemporary philosophy has been marked by the professionalization and specialization of philosophy and an emphasis on language and detailed analysis

Intro to Philosophy	Discuss "What is Philosophy?"	Read Unraveling Philosophy—Ch 1; Philosophy is a type of human exploration where the primary tools are logic and reason. It celebrates human freedom and the God-given ability to think. Humans are commanded to love God with all our mind, and Jesus embodies the unity of spirit and truth. Ideas have consequences and studying philosophy helps you avoid being taken captive by bad ideas (Col 2:8) and to advocate for truth (2 Cor 10:5). God designed you and commands you to think. The rewards of truth (such as wisdom and happiness) are worth the pursuit. The four main branches of philosophy (metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics) constitute a worldview. The Christian worldview understands the triune God of Scripture to be the source of goodness, truth, and beauty.
