&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Metaphysics]] questions what the nature of reality is&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Epistemology]]  examines &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;how&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; knowledge is gained and interpreted&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Ethics]] asks how one should act&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Politics]] looks at the proper interaction among people&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Esthetics]] attempts to define beauty&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
