Metaphysics
Philosophy has five main branches: metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and esthetics. Metaphysics deals with the fundamental nature of existence; epistemology deals with the fundamental nature of man's means of knowledge and its role in understanding existence; ethics is the application of these two branches to how man ought to live; politics deals with how men ought to interact in a social context, including establishing a government; and esthetics deals with the role that art plays in presenting a philosophy in readily perceivable forms.
Along with the five main branches of philosophy, I have added a section for the special sciences (or applications) and for current affairs.
Because these essays were not originally intended to be subdivided into philosophic categories, there is a lot of overlap in the writings.
