A couple of days ago I read about metaphysics. Because I recognised this type of philosophical activity and people who do itin someone and searched it up. I know oneThis person who has developed their ownit's philosophy without studying philosophy formally. ThisThe person told me that most people found this way of thinking quite weird. I believe this way of thinking is an quite important activity but rarely practiced.
But this led me to wonder, how unique can ais the philosophy of a metaphysical thinker be? Is thinking in the way a metaphysical thinker does rare/unique? Or am I misunderstanding how philosophy is done and how branches of philosophy are organized? I'm not talking about personality traits, but rather how a philosophy or branch can be developed "naturally" or "organically", without reading other philosophers, particularly on the Internet or from books like I did with the person I described did. Is there some measure of these naturally developed philosophies?
Some main type of branches I found on the internet:
- Metaphysics - Study of the fundamental nature of reality
- Axiology - Study of the nature of value and valuation
- Epistemology - Study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge
- Ethics - Study of what is right and wrong in human behaviour
- Aesthetics - Study of beauty and taste
- Logic - Study of the nature and types of logic
- Political Philosophy - Study of government, addressing questions about the nature, scope, and legitimacy of public agents and institutions.
There are also more specific types of branches.
What is the most unique type of philosophy someone can naturally develop?
