Home›Epistemology›Branch of PhilosophyBrowse ByBranch of PhilosophyBranch of philosophy groups philosophers by the field where they made their central contribution. Wikipedia credits Kant with "comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, political theory, and philosophy of religion," a rare breadth across nearly every branch at once. This dimension gathers philosophers who worked mainly in the same branch.FactsBranch of PhilosophySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested19 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Greek 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Indian 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Chinese 1Branch of PhilosophyFilter Results16 entriesSchool of PhilosophyAllAcademic Skepticism (2)Analytic Philosophy (2)Deontology (3)Empiricism (4)Phenomenology (2)Pyrrhonism (1)Social Contract Theory (2)EraAll-490 (1)-483 (2)-360 (1)-214 (2)160 (1)600 (1)1533 (2)1632 (2)1711 (3)1724 (3)1842 (1)1859 (7)1866 (1)1872 (1)1873 (2)1875 (1)1879 (2)1886 (1)1900 (4)1906 (6)1910 (1)1912 (2)1913 (4)1922 (1)1924 (1)1927 (1)1928 (1)1929 (1)1931 (2)1938 (1)1944 (1)1945 (3)1948 (1)1955 (5)1959 (3)1961 (1)1964 (3)1984 (3)NationalityAllAlgeria (1)Ancient Greece (2)France (8)Germany (7)Greece (2)India (3)Iran (3)Jamaica (1)Kenya (1)Malawi (3)Poland (1)Russia (2)South Africa (2)Spain (3)United Kingdom (8)United States (1)United States (10)Uruguay (1)Birthplace / RegionAllAlgeria (1)France (8)Germany (7)Greece (2)India (5)Iran (3)Italy (2)Jamaica (1)Kenya (1)Poland (1)Russia (2)South Africa (2)Spain (1)United Kingdom (8)United States (10)Uruguay (1)Influenced ByAllEmpedocles (2)Franz Brentano (2)George Berkeley (3)Hugo Grotius (2)John Locke (3)Pyrrho of Elis (1)MovementAllAfrican Epistemology (6)Analytic Epistemology (10)Ancient Greek And Roman Epistemology (3)Continental And Phenomenological Epistemology (9)Indian And Buddhist Epistemology (3)Other Epistemology Traditions (9)Pragmatist Epistemology (9)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Epistemology (5)In GroupAllAfrican Epistemology (6)Analytic Epistemology (10)Ancient Greek And Roman Epistemology (3)Continental And Phenomenological Epistemology (9)Indian And Buddhist Epistemology (3)Other Epistemology Traditions (9)Pragmatist Epistemology (9)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Epistemology (5)TraditionAllAfrican Philosophy (1)Analytic Philosophy (11)Buddhist Philosophy (1)Continental Philosophy (7)Empiricism (4)Feminism (3)German Idealism (1)Idealism (3)Lwów-Warsaw School (1)Phenomenology (4)Positivism (2)Pragmatism (8)Pre-Socratic Philosophy (1)School of Brentano (1)Skepticism (3)Sophism (3)Vedanta (1)Show ResultsAestheticsBranch of Philosophy5 entriesEpistemologyBranch of Philosophy31 entriesEthicsBranch of Philosophy10 entriesFeminist PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy2 entriesLogicBranch of Philosophy7 entriesMetaphilosophyBranch of Philosophy1 entryMetaphysicsBranch of Philosophy10 entriesPhilosophy of ActionBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of EducationBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of HistoryBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of LanguageBranch of Philosophy6 entriesPhilosophy of LogicBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of MathematicsBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of MindBranch of Philosophy5 entriesPhilosophy of ScienceBranch of Philosophy4 entriesPolitical PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy5 entriesSources1.
