Computer science is the academic discipline that studies computation, algorithms, and information processes in both theory and practice. Emerging as an independent field in the early 1960s, it encompasses subfields from theoretical foundations and programming languages to artificial intelligence, computer architecture, and human–computer interaction.

Philosophy is a global intellectual discipline concerned with fundamental questions about reality, knowledge, value, mind, and reasoning. The term derives from the Greek philosophia, “love of wisdom,” and encompasses diverse traditions, branches, and methods developed across civilizations, including ancient Greece, China, India, and later the Islamic world and medieval Europe.
