There are 5 main branches of philosophy: logic, aesthetics, metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology. Logic deals with reasoning and determining whether arguments are sound or conclusions valid. Aesthetics examines beauty in art and music. Metaphysics considers questions about reality and existence. Ethics, also called moral philosophy, analyzes right and wrong. Epistemology studies the nature of knowledge and what can be known with certainty. The document then prompts the reader to classify claims within these philosophical branches.
