Branch of Philosophy

Branch 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.
