Branch of Philosophy

This dimension links an argument position to the branch of philosophy it belongs to. Wikipedia describes utilitarianism as "a family of theories in normative ethics that prescribe actions that maximize happiness and well-being," placing it squarely within ethics rather than metaphysics or logic. Browsing by branch groups positions that argue over the same kind of philosophical question.
