A few questions

• You said philosophy can be either religious or social. What exactly do you mean? What is "social philosophy?" Do you mean "humanistic philosophy?" or "non-religious philosophy" or something else? Also, if you draw a dichotomy between the two, does that mean that religious philosophy is asocial? Or is there some overlap?
• Where does the philosophy of science fit into your three branches of philosophy? Ungtss 01:09, 8 May 2006 (GMT)

Social philosophy deals with issues related to social behavior. Perspectives such as communism, modernism or postmodernism are social philosophies. It is otherwise known as the Philosophy of Social Behavior. There are many more branches of philosophy that should be listed, and indeed there is much overlap between them. I'll add a few more.

Whether dealing with the philosophy of religion, science, social behavior, et. al., the three 'components' (ontology, epistemology, and axiology) are still an integral part.

The page needs a lot of work, and I'm not claiming to be an expert. Feel free to edit.--Chris Ashcraft 02:44, 9 May 2006 (GMT)
