Psychology means to reason with the soul. There are reasons why it's the Greeks instead of the Phoenicians, or the Persians, or the Etruscans, or the Carthaginians. One is learning how to read and write, which has to do with the alphabet. So, if any ideas come to mind, you can record them down. For example, Buddhism was spoken instead of written for hundreds of years until started to write, since Brahmi alphabet was invented late. Semites, Hebrews and Pnoenicians invented the alphabet. They passed it on to the Greeks, and they improved the idea by making up vowels and having some extra letters. The part of philosophy that asks questions like "What is the world made of?" is called metaphysics.
A second aspect is epistemology, which is trying to identify what is real or not. It is the philosophy of knowledge. Empiricism is that all knowledge comes from senses. Rationalism is knowledge is reasoning and thinking. These two are the opposing approaches to knowledge.
Ethics is understanding which is good and which is bad. Hedonism says that good and bad is what I like and don't like. Cynicism is that the world is evil, and we have to go towards the better direction, which is god.
