Fields of Philosophy

ABSTRACT:
A 4 page essay that discusses which branch of philosophy is the most significant. Western philosophy is divided into three branches, which are metaphysics, axiology, and epistemology (What is Philosophy, 2005). To put it simply, metaphysics answers the question, “What’s what?” (that is, defines reality); axiology; “What’s good? (that is, what has value); and epistemology concerns “What do we know?” (that is, the nature of knowledge and what is true)(What is Philosophy, 2005). While all three branches are of vital importance to understanding human experience, axiology is the most important due to the fact that it is this area of philosophy that provides guidance to human beings concerning the social values, which are intrinsic to the survival of humanity. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
