Evolution of philosophy from Greek to postmodern: A debate

Abstract

This paper highlights a brief overview on the genesis of philosophy begins with Ancient Greece and continues until the present-day world of Postmodernism. The overall aim of this paper is to briefly unfold some profound interpretation that may help the readers to understand the evolution of philosophy and its changing meaning from time to time. A method of induction and deduction has been used all-over the paper to implicitly reflect all the philosophical doctrines and tenets of various philosophical traditions. The primary and secondary sources in the form of books have been used to frame this paper in a logical manner. Broadly speaking, this paper has started with Heraclitus concept of ‘Flux’ and ended with Lyotard conception of ‘Metanarratives’. This paper may help the readers, teachers, researchers in particular and people in general to understand the nature and evolutionary perspective of philosophy at a glance.
