Three Primary Branches of Philosophy

Distinguish between the three primary branches of philosophy.

Consider the three following questions:

• What is knowledge?
• What is reality made of?
• What is the good life, and how ought I to live it?

These are the basic questions that were considered in different forms by the major figures in ancient Greek philosophy. But they are also critical questions for people’s lives; today, whether they are philosophers or not. You should define philosophy and then distinguish and define each of the three main branches of philosophy. Identify which of the above questions is associated with each branch of philosophy.
