    "Philosophy has been a well-known branch of the humanities for thousands of years. Everyone knows of it, but hardly anyone knows what is behind it. Philosophy experienced its origins at the time of ancient Greece with its well-known representatives Plato and Socrates, to name just two examples. One can translate philosophy as the striving for knowledge about the meaning of life, the essence of the world and the position of man in the world. It describes the teaching and science of the knowledge of the meaning of life, of the world and of man's position in the world. Beyond that, however, it has a further meaning, namely the personal side of each human being and the way in which each one regards life and the world for himself as things. This corresponds to the saying ‘live and let live’"
