Lucien Hellerman: I know of no 'V' philosophy.Perhaps you are in error.Metaphysics......Study of Existence......What's out there?Epistemology.....Study of Knowledge.....How do I know about it?Ethics...............Study of Action............What should I do?Politics..............Study of Force.............What actions are permissible?Esthetics...........Study of Art.................What can life be like?http://www.importanceofphilosophy.com/FiveBranches...The following branches are the main areas of study:Metaphysics..... is the study of the nature of being and the world. Traditional branches are cosmology and ontology.Epistemology..... is concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge, and whether knowledge is possible. Among its central concerns has been the challenge posed by skepticism and the relationships between truth, belief, and justification.Ethics....., or "moral philosophy", is concerned with questions of how persons ought to act or if such questions are answ! erable. The main branches of ethics are meta-ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics. Meta-ethics concerns the nature of ethical thought, comparison of various ethical systems, whether there are absolute ethical truths, and how such truths could be known. Ethics is also associated with the idea of morality. Plato's early dialogues include a search for definitions of virtue.Political philosophy... is the study of government and the relationship of individuals and communities to the state. It includes questions about justice, the good, law, property, and the rights and obligations of the citizen.Aesthetics... deals with beauty, art, enjoyment, sensory-emotional values, perception, and matters of taste and sentiment.Logic... is the study of valid argument forms. Beginning in the late 19th century, mathematicians such as Frege focused on a mathematical treatment of logic, and today the subject of logic has two broad divisions: mathematical logic (formal symbolic logic) and! what is now called philosophical logic.Philosophy of mind... ! deals with the nature of the mind and its relationship to the body, and is typified by disputes between dualism and materialism. In recent years there has been increasing similarity between this branch of philosophy and cognitive science.Philosophy of language... is inquiry into the nature, origins, and usage of language.Philosophy of religion... is a branch of philosophy that asks questions about religion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhilosophyNot a 'V' in the batch!...Show more

Donita Desjardin: Whether it is Hindu philosophy or any other philosophy - peace is the moksha of human life. Hinduism if it is as you say is based on the realisation of peace as the goal of human life- there can be no two opinion! s about it. But the religion advocates so many conditions and norms which are based on beliefs and which are- left to the individuals to believe such conditions and norms or not. But attaining peace of mind is the greatest bliss for a human. It is the state of tranquility of mind when you are neither happy nor unhappy - neither satisfied nor unsatisfied- neither worried nor free from worries- and in short- the state when both the positive and negative sides of human life remain equal and bring about an experience - called PEACE-free from environmental influence . That remains only as an imagination for 99.999999% of humans but there are people on earth in such state â€" they are the babies found asleep- or those who are in coma â€" apart from these exceptions- there may be a few here and there quite contended with what they have- not worrying about anything that happens around them. All others like us â€" should accept the reality- peace is beyond our reach with our present! day life style and 99.99999% feels that it is not worth wasting the pr! esent day life to get peace of mind-because they have learnt to live without the peace of mind....Show more
