I changed the title from the "Branches of Analytic Philosophy" to "Branches of Philosophy" because the latter more accurately describes philosophy as a totality. Analytic Philosophy is a movement that existed after the invention of the branches.
The main branches of philosophy are [[Metaphysics]], which is (broadly speaking) the study of what-is; [[Ethics]], the study of correct action; [[Logic]], the rules (both formal and informal) of reason; [[Epistemology]], the study of knowledge, and [[Aesthetics]], the study of the nature of beauty and the artistic criteria of judgment. Notable sub-branches include [[Philosophy of Science]], Philosophy of language, Philosophy of Religion, [[Political Philosophy]], and [[Philosophy of mind]].
