The five areas of philosophy

Metaphysics

These questions focus on the nature of reality. Is matter all that exists? Can the mind survive the death of a body?

Epistemology

How can we know what we claim to know? If matter is all that exists, then how do we know that this is all that exists?

Ethics

These questions focus on what we should do. Can a person lie? Should the recreational use of certain drugs be made legal?

Logic

How do we structure arguments, from premises to conclusions? Can the premise guarantee the truth of the conclusion?

Aesthetics

Is beauty purely subjective? Are there objective standards? Why can tragedy be beautiful, or why is art terrifying and beautiful?
