Branches of Philosophy

There are four distinct branches of philosophy: Logic, Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Theoretical Ethics. Logic is a study of the forms of correct reasoning. Epistemology is the study of the nature of knowledge and how we should justify our knowledge claims. Metaphysics is the study of the ultimate nature of features of reality that can't be studied by empirical science. The branch that I most identify with and find most interesting is Logic. I am a Finance major so I enjoy reasoning through numbers. I usually have to see factual evidence of something to believe it. I also enjoy Epistemology because it also deals with how we justify claims.
