What is the origin of philosophy?

Today we start a new graphic section in which we will treat the story from a more relaxed point of view. To do this, I have asked my friend Xurxo for help. I hope you like it. Today, the origin of philosophy.

It was Plato who said that «Amazement was the origin of Philosophy. Given that our eyes, as a whole, make us participate in the spectacle of the stars, the Sun and the terrestrial vault, and this spectacle has given us the impulse to investigate the Universe; Philosophy sprang from here for us, the greatest of the goods provided by the Gods to the race of mortals ”. Well, for this, it also had to do with the leisure and work of third parties, mainly slaves.
