The introduction of the terms "philosopher" and "philosophy" has been ascribed to the Greek thinker [[Pythagoras]] (see [[Diogenes Laertius]]: "De vita et moribus philosophorum", I, 12; [[Cicero]]: "Tusculanae disputationes", V, 8-9). The ascription is based on a passage in a lost work of [[Herakleides Pontikos]], a disciple of [[Aristotle]]. It is considered to be part of the widespread legends of Pythagoras of this time. The term "philosophy" was made famous by [[Plato]]'s and [[Aristotle]]'s large volume of written works that survived for over two thousand years.
