Home›Ethics›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)FactsComparisonCultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Greek 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Indian 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Chinese 1Cultural Origin TraditionWell-attestedAncient Egyptian 1Branch of PhilosophyFilter Results20 entriesSchool of PhilosophyAllConfucianism (2)Continental Philosophy (2)Cynicism (1)Existentialism (3)Stoicism (1)Ubuntu Philosophy (1)Utilitarianism (2)EraAll-551 (2)-470 (4)446 BCE (2)-435 (1)-412 (1)-372 (2)-341 (2)-334 (1)-310 (2)-106 (4)-4 (1)55 (1)121 (1)350 (1)932 (1)1547 (1)1633 (1)1748 (2)1806 (2)1813 (2)1838 (2)1844 (2)1857 (1)1860 (1)1864 (2)1868 (3)1886 (3)1889 (2)1905 (3)1906 (2)1908 (2)1912 (2)1913 (2)1917 (4)1919 (6)1920 (2)1925 (3)1929 (5)1934 (4)1935 (2)1936 (1)1940 (2)1941 (2)1942 (2)1944 (2)1945 (1)1946 (3)1947 (3)1949 (1)1950 (3)1952 (2)1954 (1)1958 (1)1960 (3)1961 (1)1966 (1)1969 (1)1970 (2)1972 (2)1973 (1)1986 (2)NationalityAllAncient Greece (3)Argentina (1)Athens (3)Australia (5)Belgium (4)Byzantine Empire (1)Cameroon (1)China (4)Denmark (2)Ethiopia (1)France (3)Germany (2)Greece (1)India (3)Iran (1)Japan (2)Netherlands (1)New Zealand (2)Norway (2)Poland (3)Roman Empire (1)Russia (1)South Africa (3)Spain (2)Sweden (5)The Roman Republic (4)United Kingdom (9)United States (3)United States (11)Birthplace / RegionAllArgentina (1)Australia (5)Belgium (4)Cameroon (1)China (4)Denmark (2)Denver (1)Ethiopia (1)France (3)Germany (2)Greece (4)India (2)Iran (1)Ireland (5)Italy (4)Japan (2)Libya (1)Netherlands (1)New Zealand (2)Nigeria (1)Norway (2)Poland (3)Russia (1)South Africa (3)Spain (3)Sweden (3)Turkey (1)United Kingdom (9)United States (12)Influenced ByAllCarneades (4)Confucius (2)Epictetus (1)Jeremy Bentham (2)Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (2)John Stuart Mill (2)Zera Yacob (1)MovementAllAfrican Ethics (2)Analytic Ethics (13)Ancient Greek And Roman Ethics (6)Christian Ethics (1)Continental And Phenomenological Ethics (5)East Asian Ethics (4)Feminist Ethics (5)Indian And Buddhist Ethics (3)Other Ethics Traditions (8)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Ethics (3)Utilitarian Ethics (4)Virtue Ethics (5)In GroupAllAfrican Ethics (2)Analytic Ethics (13)Ancient Greek And Roman Ethics (6)Christian Ethics (1)Continental And Phenomenological Ethics (5)East Asian Ethics (4)Feminist Ethics (5)Indian And Buddhist Ethics (3)Other Ethics Traditions (8)Rationalist Empiricist And Idealist Ethics (3)Utilitarian Ethics (4)Virtue Ethics (5)TraditionAllAfrican Philosophy (1)Analytic Philosophy (13)Ancient Philosophy (2)Aristotelianism (5)Atheism (7)Confucianism (2)Continental Philosophy (5)Cynicism (2)Empiricism (2)Epicureanism (2)Existentialism (4)Feminism (4)Jewish Philosophy (1)Kantianism (2)Kyoto School (2)Liberalism (3)Lwów-Warsaw School (3)Mohism (4)Neoplatonism (1)Platonism (1)Positivism (4)Rationalism (1)Skepticism (4)Stoicism (1)Ubuntu Philosophy (1)Utilitarianism (3)Show ResultsAestheticsBranch of Philosophy3 entriesBioethicsBranch of Philosophy5 entriesEnvironmental PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy4 entriesEpistemologyBranch of Philosophy5 entriesEthicsBranch of Philosophy67 entriesFeminist PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy2 entriesLogicBranch of Philosophy6 entriesMetaphysicsBranch of Philosophy8 entriesPhilosophy of ActionBranch of Philosophy3 entriesPhilosophy of EducationBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of HistoryBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of LanguageBranch of Philosophy4 entriesPhilosophy of LawBranch of Philosophy2 entriesPhilosophy of MindBranch of Philosophy6 entriesPhilosophy of PsychologyBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of ReligionBranch of Philosophy4 entriesPhilosophy of ScienceBranch of Philosophy2 entriesPhilosophy of SportBranch of Philosophy1 entryPolitical PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy21 entriesValue TheoryBranch of Philosophy2 entriesSources1.
