The word philosophy comes from the Greek, namely Philosophia. Philo means love, while Sophia means wisdom. The combination of these two words describes the meaning of love of wisdom. Philosophy is an effort to study and express human depictions in the world towards the afterlife in a fundamental way. The object is matter and form. The object of matter is often referred to as everything that exists to what may not exist. This shows that philosophy studies the contents of the universe starting from inanimate objects, plants, animals, and the creator. The object is often referred to as reality or reality. Starting from this object, philosophy studies fragmentally (according to parts and types) and integrally (according to the relationship between parts and types in the whole as a whole). That is what is called the object of form.

On the other hand, Saad Malook divides the field of philosophical study into several, namely first, epistemology which studies the nature, sources, limits, and uses of knowledge. Second, metaphysics which studies what exists. Third, logic, which sets standards for the validity of human thoughts. Fourth, aesthetics which is related to beauty universally. Fifth, philosophy of religion. Finally, the philosophy of social science and law.
