From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genuinely philosophical thought arose in many cultures roughly contemporaneously. Eastern philosophy is organized by the chronological periods of each region. Historians of western philosophy usually divide the subject into three or more periods, the most important being ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, and modern philosophy. In Western philosophy, the spread of Christianity through the Roman Empire marked the ending of Hellenistic philosophy and ushered in the beginnings of Medieval philosophy, whereas in Eastern philosophy, the spread of Islam through the Arab Empire marked the end of Old Iranian philosophy and ushered in the beginnings of early Islamic philosophy. Hellenistic philosophy developed in the Hellenistic civilization, with notable philosophers including Aristotle, Pythagoras and Plato.
