• Philosophy, like most academic fields, actually
consists of several main branches.
• These branches themselves have sub-
branches and can become very specialized
as one progresses through the field of study.
Metaphysics Epistemology
Logic. Axiology
Philosophy
Metaphysics
• Metaphysics is the study of the most
general features of reality, such as
existence, time, the relationship
between mind and body, objects and
their properties, wholes and their
parts, events, processes, and
causation.
Aurora Computer Studies

9
Metaphysics (cont.)
• Metaphysics is sometimes split up
into
o Ontology
• The philosophy of real life and living things
o The philosophy of mind
o The philosophy of religion
• But these sub-branches are very
close together.
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
10
Metaphysics (cont.)
• Typical questions of interest
o What is reality?
o Is there anything very special about being a human being
or being alive at all?
o What is space?
o What is time?
o What is a mind?
o What is a body?
o What is consciousness?
o Do people have souls?
o Is there a God who created the Universe?
Aurora Computer Studies

11
Epistemology
• Epistemology is concerned with the
nature and scope of knowledge, such
as the relationships between truth,
belief, perception and theories of
justification.
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
12
Epistemology (cont.)
• Typical questions of interest
o What is knowledge?
o How can we know anything?
o What is science?
o What is truth?
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
13
Logic
• Logic is the study of the principles of
correct reasoning.
• Arguments use either deductive
reasoning or inductive reasoning.
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
14
Logic (cont.)
• Typical questions of interest
o How can we reason correctly?
o How does the truth of an argument's premise affect the
truth of its conclusion?
o What do the words we use mean?
o How can we say things (especially ideas) in a way that
only has one meaning?
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
15
Axiology (Study of values)
• Ethics
o Studies questions of how we should act.
• Aesthetics
o Studies questions about art and beauty
• Social/Political Philosophy
o Studies questions of which political and/or economic
institutions are most fair and just
Aurora Computer Studies
(www.auroracs.lk)
16
Axiology (cont.)
• Typical questions of interest
o What has value?
o Is time really money? or have we made it so?
o Does love, beauty, or justice hold any value?

Religions

19
Philosophy vs. Science
• Philosophers like to start with their
conclusions, and work to prove them
• The primary tool of science is actual
experimentation
o From observing the results of experiments, one
comes to conclusions
