I was just thinking about how the last time i learned any philosophy was 15+ years ago, so i wonder, what's something y'all know about philosophy? Let's talk about it!

There are many branches in philosophy, and it's easy to mix them up. Depends on what you're into.

  • Ethics: notions of right and wrong and moral values.
  • Epistemology: questions of knowledge. How do we know what we know.
  • Metaphysics: ideas of space, time, existence.
  • Aesthetics: appreciation of art, beauty, music, literature, etc.
  • Logic: for the math-oriented. How do we reason and arrive at conclusions? If X, then Y.
  • Language: how we communicate. Meaning of words, symbols, and metaphors.
  • Phrenology: method of relieving cranial pressures.
  • Science: how to reason about the physical world.
  • Religion: Understanding the divine and how we fit in.
