Talk:Introduction to Philosophy/The Branches of Philosophy

Where is Aesthetics? This is a major omission from the branches of philosophy!

Terminology Issue
I don't know of any professional philosophers who use the phrase "Philosophy of Politics." We tend to use the phrase "Political Philosophy" instead. Some of the points made in the first two paragraphs are exaggerated and simplistic at best. Continental Philosophers do politics? Phenomenology cannot be reduced to politics, for starters. Nor can the notion of embodied subjectivity, one of the items studied via phenomenology. Are Analytic philosophers really still suspicious of ethics? Isn't that trope about 40 years out of date?

Problem with entry on "Epistemology"
The first sentence of the entry on "Epistemology" seems fine. Certainly, it is innocuous. After the first sentence, irrelevant points begin to intrude. That philosophers study nature could be relevant if one follows up on this point in the right way. Are there special problems with getting to *know* nature? I would expect some discussion of that after the study of nature is mentioned in this entry.
