What is Philosophy?

[Kant we all...]

In olden times, philosophy was considered to be the "handmaiden of theology." Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle--all of whom we could consider to be founders of First Philosophy--assented to belief in the Divine; Socrates, the one who searched for God; Plato, the one who found God; Aristotle, the one who essentially demonstrated that God must necessarily exist (although he was something of what we might call a Deist). So where did the divide begin? When did philosophy stop being "the love of wisdom," and take the shift to be something which should be more or less defined as "the love of men"--in particular, wise men--i.e., Sophists? What has struck me was Socrates' definition: God is wisdom, men seek wisdom, men never attain wisdom because only God "has" wisdom--philosophers, being true to their definition (i.e., "lovers of wisdom") seek wisdom. The classical view of philosophy was that it was man's tool for plunging into the depths of God by using Reason. Have we now substituted the Art of Reason with a meticulous memory of what we have taken in by our senses alone?
