3. Branches of philosophy

   • Metaphysics
     • The word "metaphysics" comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean "after or behind or among [the study of] the natural".
       • Studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility.
   • Epistemology
     • The term “epistemology” comes from the Greek words “episteme” and “logos”. “Episteme” can be translated as “knowledge”, while “logos” can be translated as “account” or “argument” or “reason”.
       • Study the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge, epistemic justification, the rationality of belief, and various related issues.
   • Logic
     • A system or set of principles underlying the arrangements of elements in a computer or electronic device so as to perform a specified task.
   • Ethics
     • Derived from the Greek word “ethos”, which means “way of living”
       • Is concerned with human conduct, more specifically the behaviour of individuals in society. Ethics examines the rational justification for our moral judgments; it studies what is morally right or wrong, just or unjust.
   • Aesthetics
     • Study the nature od art, beauty and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty. It is more scientifically defined as the study od sensory or sensori- emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment and taste.
   • Politics
     • The word "politics" derives from the Greek word polis, which means "city."
       • Refers to almost any activity associated with government. It can also have a narrower definition that means anything associated with people who seek to govern or are currently serving in the government.
