it raises the issue of "fashion" in the other sense, changing tastes over time. I remember when I discovered there was such a thing as fashion, in this sense, in philosophy, and I was not exactly shocked but certainly disappointed. — Srap Tasmaner

In Greek, "away over something", "over beyond," is meta. Philosophical questioning about beings as such is meta-ta-phusika; it questions on beyond beings, it is metaphysics. — Martin Heidegger

To some philosophy is a precursor to scientific investigation. In philosophy they came to understand and define truth.

This also consequently means a deeper understanding of mathematics. — Jeremiah
