Philosophy is the expression of man's basic curiosity toward the world, and also the genesis of the most important intellectual disciplines. Science used to be called natural philosophy. Politics is and has always been informed by philosophy, and philosophy will continue to guide political theory. It is important that we study philosophy because it offers us a history of human thought. By studying philosophy we can speculate confidently on the direction in which we as individuals, communities, nations and global citizens are headed, whether or not there is a better direction, and how we are to travel it.
Modern philosophy is called modern to distinguish it from ancient and medieval philosophy. It refers to the philosophical thought that emerged in the 17th century, characterized by a focus on reason, skepticism, and questioning traditional beliefs. Modern philosophy marked a shift towards more empirical and scientific approaches to understanding the world.

In the world of philosophy, all things are debatable, including the identity of the founder of modern philosophy; I personally would nominate Baruch Spinoza for that position. I know some people prefer René Descartes.
