Home›Political Philosophy›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 1Branch of PhilosophyFilter Results17 entriesSchool of PhilosophyAllExistentialism (3)Frankfurt School (1)Liberation Philosophy (1)Marxism (1)Natural Law Theory (1)Rationalism (1)Social Contract Theory (1)Ubuntu Philosophy (1)Utilitarianism (2)EraAll-390 (1)-280 (1)872 (4)1332 (1)1469 (1)1478 (1)1530 (1)1568 (2)1583 (1)1586 (1)1588 (1)1689 (1)1694 (2)1712 (1)1729 (2)1759 (1)1809 (1)1812 (2)1814 (1)1818 (1)1842 (1)1864 (1)1882 (2)1888 (1)1891 (1)1894 (1)1895 (1)1897 (1)1898 (1)1903 (1)1906 (2)1909 (3)1910 (1)1914 (1)1918 (2)1921 (2)1925 (1)1926 (3)1929 (3)1930 (2)1931 (3)1933 (1)1934 (1)1935 (1)1938 (2)1939 (1)1941 (6)1942 (2)1944 (1)1946 (1)1947 (1)1949 (3)1951 (1)1952 (2)1953 (3)1954 (1)1955 (1)1956 (2)1957 (2)1959 (2)1962 (3)1964 (2)1966 (1)1970 (1)1971 (2)NationalityAllArgentina (5)Australia (1)Brazil (1)Cameroon (2)Canada (2)China (1)Denmark (1)France (6)Germany (5)Ghana (2)India (1)Iran (4)Ireland (2)Israel (1)Italy (3)Japan (1)Mexico (3)Netherlands (1)Peru (2)Republic of Florence (1)Russia (2)Senegal (2)Slovenia (2)South Africa (1)Spain (5)Syria (1)Tunisia (1)United Kingdom (4)United States (7)Birthplace / RegionAllArgentina (4)Australia (1)Brazil (1)Cameroon (2)Canada (2)China (1)Denmark (1)France (6)Germany (5)Ghana (2)India (1)Ireland (2)Israel (1)Italy (3)Japan (1)Mexico (3)Netherlands (1)Peru (2)Russia (2)Senegal (2)Slovenia (2)South Africa (1)Spain (5)Syria (1)Tunisia (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (4)United States (7)Influenced ByAllAl-Kindi (4)Baron d'Holbach (2)Cicero (1)Frantz Fanon (1)Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (2)Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1)Jürgen Habermas (2)Karl Marx (3)Kwasi Wiredu (1)Martin Heidegger (2)Michel Foucault (2)Niccolò Machiavelli (1)Walter Benjamin (2)MovementAllAfrican Political Thought (6)Confucian And East Asian Political Thought (2)Contemporary Liberal And Communitarian Thought (7)Feminist Political Philosophy (4)Islamic Political Thought (5)Marxist And Critical Theory (11)Postcolonial And Decolonial Thought (5)Renaissance And Enlightenment (5)In GroupAllAfrican Political Thought (6)Confucian And East Asian Political Thought (2)Contemporary Liberal And Communitarian Thought (7)Feminist Political Philosophy (4)Islamic Political Thought (5)Marxist And Critical Theory (11)Postcolonial And Decolonial Thought (5)Renaissance And Enlightenment (5)TraditionAllAfrican Philosophy (5)Analytic Philosophy (5)Anarchism (1)Aristotelianism (4)Atheism (1)Buddhist Philosophy (1)Christian Philosophy (2)Communitarianism (2)Continental Philosophy (6)Critical Theory (6)Enlightenment Philosophy (3)Existentialism (4)Feminism (3)Frankfurt School (4)Humanism (1)Islamic Philosophy (5)Kyoto School (1)Legalism (1)Liberalism (1)Marxism (6)Materialism (1)Phenomenology (5)Platonism (4)Positivism (3)Post-structuralism (5)Postmodernism (1)Pragmatism (3)Rationalism (2)Structuralism (4)Show ResultsAestheticsBranch of Philosophy6 entriesEpistemologyBranch of Philosophy5 entriesEthicsBranch of Philosophy13 entriesFeminist PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy2 entriesLogicBranch of Philosophy1 entryMetaphysicsBranch of Philosophy5 entriesPhilosophy of EconomicsBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of EducationBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of HistoryBranch of Philosophy4 entriesPhilosophy of LanguageBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of LawBranch of Philosophy6 entriesPhilosophy of LiteratureBranch of Philosophy2 entriesPhilosophy of ReligionBranch of Philosophy4 entriesPhilosophy of ScienceBranch of Philosophy1 entryPhilosophy of SexBranch of Philosophy2 entriesPhilosophy of TechnologyBranch of Philosophy1 entryPolitical PhilosophyBranch of Philosophy65 entriesSources1.
