This is because each philosopher defines philosophy in their own way, according to his worldview, meaning there are several definitions of philosophy as there are philosophers. According to the pythagoras of samos, philosophy is the love of the truth/wisdom. According to karl jaspers, the essence of philosophy is the search for truth, not its possession, even if it betrays itself, as often happens, to degenerate into dogmatism, a knowledge set for- mulas, final, complete, transmitted through teaching.
