Etymological description of the word combination Antique philosophy

In the present article there is investigation of the etymology and sense sources of the term antiquephilosophy in the context of philosophys history and culture. The word antique means ancient, Greek and Roman, classic. LaterRomanian traditions prevail in the romance countries, Greek traditions - in Germany, Byzantine heritage - in Eastern Europe, Russia,Transcaucasia and a part of the Near East. Plato discovered the contents and sense of the notions philosopher and philosophy. Heconsidered that the philosopher is a particular figure in the society, and philosophy is the particular life and thought pattern, which areformed by the idea of absolute wisdom. After that well-established sense of these notions were transferred to 6 century B.C. on the personalitiesof Pythagoras, Heraclitus or Herodotus. Then in the present article there are characteristics of the word philosophy components.The word Philia was investigated among different notions, which mean state of love. Plato developed and systematized variouscharacteristics of Eros (mythological image of a philosopher) and Socrates (historic personification of a philosopher) in dialogues (The)Symposium, Phaedrus and others. Enthusiasm, pathos, ecstasy were added to the image of ecstatic and mystic nature of knowledge.Notion Philia emphasizes the direction of lessons, which are full of high love of the true wisdom. The word Sophia means wisdom.This notion possesses a wide range of meanings; it was used in various contexts. Lets single out three of them: manifold experience ofwise men (7-6 centuries B.C.); sophists practical wisdom (5-4 centuries B.C.), who were representatives of rhetoric culture; true, divine,absolute wisdom, which exists always, everywhere, in its entirety, without exceptions, distinctions and degrees. Lack of wisdomhas its own distinctions. People who do not possess wisdom are divided into two types: those, who realize that they are such - these arephilosophers, and those, who dont realize it, they are ignoramuses. Then we single out five figures and five types of various attitudes towisdom. Two of them, Deity and Ignoramus, are deprived of philosophys source (their speculative activity is zero). The others (Wiseman, Sophist and Philosopher) have various degrees of theoretical (speculative, intellectual) and practical activities; they are inclined tophilosophise. The special status of the philosophising man is non-self-sufficiency. The philosophers medial position between Divineand Ignoramus transforms him to the ironic man and/or tragic hero. The Notions Logos and Ratio are important to understand thesubject Sophia. Conceptual development of the absolute, the supersensual and the ratio focuses on Logos and is defined terminologicallyin Sophia. Conceptual development of other notions - enthusiasm, pathos and ecstasy - focuses on Eros and is defined terminologicallyin Philia. Philosophy appears as inseparability and indivisibility of Eros and Logos. It is alive due to binarity and/or polysemanticity,which include a wide range of sense combinations of every source.
