Philosophy (‘love of wisdom’) is a systematic study of general and fundamental questions concerning topics like existence, reason, knowledge, value, mind and language. It is a rational and critical inquiry that reflects on its methods and assumptions.

Philosophy is broadly divided into several main branches that explore fundamental questions about reality, knowledge, ethics, logic, and values, each addressing different aspects of human thought and existence.

Major Branches of Philosophy

1. Metaphysics
   This branch explores the nature of reality and existence. It addresses questions about what things exist, the nature of objects and their properties, time and space, causality, and the mind-body relationship.
2. Epistemology
   Epistemology studies knowledge and belief. It concerns how we know what we know, the nature and limits of knowledge, justification, and skepticism.
3. Ethics (Moral Philosophy)
   Ethics examines what is right and wrong, good and bad. It investigates moral values, principles, and theories about how people ought to act and what constitutes a good life.
4. Logic
   Logic deals with the rules of correct reasoning. It studies principles of valid inference, argument structure, deduction, and induction, enabling critical thinking and sound judgment.
5. Aesthetics
   This branch explores questions related to beauty, art, and taste. It considers what constitutes aesthetic value and how art influences human experience.
