Philosophy
1 The love of wisdom as leading to the search for it; hence, knowledge of general principles - elements, powers, or causes and laws - as explaining facts and existences.
2 The general laws that furnish the rational explanation of anything.
3 The calm judgement and equable temper resulting from study of causes and laws; practical wisdom; fortitude, as in enduring reverses and suffering.
4 Reasoned science; a scientific system; as (formerly), natural philosophy, now natural science.
5 A philosophical system or treatise.
6 The sciences as formerly studied in the universities.
