Context Note
Philosophy explores fundamental questions about knowledge, existence, ethics, and how we think about the world. It is often divided into different branches, each focusing on a particular kind of question, such as how we know what we know or what makes actions right or wrong. Understanding these branches can help people think more clearly about complex ideas and their place in the world.
