Philosophy (Oxford English Dictionary)

1. Knowledge, learning, scholarship; a body of knowledge; spec. advanced knowledge or learning, to which the study of the seven liberal arts was regarded as preliminary in medieval universities. Now hist. exc. in degree titles, as Doctor, Master of Philosophy.

As a subject of study, philosophy was variously subdivided at different times. Many universities adopted a threefold division into natural, moral, and metaphysical philosophy (sometimes referred to as the three philosophies).
