Philosophy, translated from the original greek philosophia ( φιλοσοφία ) means "love of wisdom". Philosophy is the mother of all sciences, commonly, it has several  main branches: "Natural philosophy" (the study of physis, the natural world), "Moral philosophy" also known as value theory (the study of ethos and aesthetics); Epistemology, the study of knowledge and how we obtain it; and "Metaphysical philosophy" or just Metaphysics (the study of logos and the fundamental questions about reality). 

​

Today, physis, ethos and logos have evolved into the natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology or astronomy; the social sciences such as law, politics, psychology and sociology; and the liberal arts such as theology, ethics and history. 

​

The aim of the New Athens project is to bring back all the unifying glass of philosophy to appreciate the intertwining complexity between all of these different disciplines.
