PHILOSOPHY
philosophia (φιλοσοφία); pure Latin by circumlocution sapientiae studium or disciplina; divinarum humanarumque rerum tum initiorum causarumque cujusque rei cognitio: cognitio optimarum rerum atque in iis exercitatio. Theoretical philosophy philosophia quae artis praeceptis continetur; philosophia quae in rerum contemplatione versatur or philosophia contemplativa for shortness (Sen. Ep. 95 10): practical philosophy philosophia quae officii et bene vivendi disciplinam continet; philosophia quae de vita et moribus rebusque bonis et malis quaerit; or simply philosophia activa (Sen. Ep. 95 10): from context prudentia (opposed to doctrina Cic. Quint. Frat. 1 3 5). To be a student of philosophy philosophiae studio teneri; sapientiae esse studiosum: to devote one’s self to the study of philosophy se ad philosophiam or ad philosophiae studium conferre; se ad philosophiam pertractandam dare: to devote one’s self exclusively to philosophy in una philosophia quasi tabernaculum vitae suae collocare: to write treatises of philosophy philosophiam scribere.

philosophy:
I. Reasoned truth:
1. phĭlŏsŏphia (Gk. φιλοσοφία): defined by Cic. as, studium sapientiae, de Off. 2, 2, 5: also used to denote different departments or schools of philosophy: moral p., p. moralis, Sen. Ep. 89, 8 (suggested by Cic. Fat. init., as a substitute for the circuml., ea pars philosophiae quae de moribus est): natural p., p. naturalis, Sen. l. c.: theoretical or practical p., p. contemplativa (= Gk. θεωρητική), activa (Gk. πρακτική), Sen.

2. săpientia (strictly, that wisdom or knowledge of whichphilosophia is the desire and aim: cf. Cic. Leg. 1, 22, 58: hence = p. on its practical side, as wisdom attained): p. offers herself as the surest guide to pleasure, p. certissimam se ducem praebet ad voluptatem, Cic. Fin. 1, 13, 43: ancient p. taught only what was to be done and what avoided, antiqua s. nihil aliud nisi facienda et vitanda praecepit, Sen. Ep. 95, 13.
3. rătio (theory): impious principles of p., impia rationis elementa, Lucr. 1, 82: the Epicurean p. (system) which is well known to most, Epicuri r. quae plerisque notissima est, Cic. Fin. 1, 5, init.: so, Stoicorum ratio disciplinaque, id. Off. 3, 4, 20.
