The opening of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been qualified to the Greek thinker Pythagoras. The ascription is base on a way in a lost work of Herakleides Pontikos, a follower of Aristotle. It is measured to be part of the widespread myths of Pythagoras of this time. "Philosopher" replaces the word "sophist”, which was used to explain "wise men," teachers of rhetoric, who were significant in Athenian democratic system.
The history of philosophy is normally divided into three periods: Ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, and Modern philosophy.
