Axiology

It studies concepts that directly relate to being, in particular becoming, existence, reality, as well as the basic categories of being and their relations.

Traditionally listed as a part of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, ontology often deals with questions concerning what entities exist or may be said to exist and how such entities may be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences.

A traditional branch of metaphysics that deals with problems of being, existence, inner nature, meaning, etc.

It is fundamental to problems involving normality and disease, individuality, responsibility, and the analysis of values.

Epistemology is the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, and the distinction between justified belief and opinion.

Debates in epistemology are generally clustered around four core areas:


The philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge and the conditions required for a belief to constitute knowledge, such as truth and justification

Potential sources of knowledge and justified belief, such as perception, reason, memory, and testimony

The structure of a body of knowledge or justified belief, including whether all justified beliefs must be derived from justified foundational beliefs or whether justification requires only a coherent set of beliefs

Philosophical skepticism, which questions the possibility of knowledge, and related problems, such as whether skepticism poses a threat to our ordinary knowledge claims and whether it is possible to refute skeptical arguments

Axiology is the philosophical study of value.

Axiology studies mainly two kinds of values: ethics and aesthetics.

Ethics investigates the concepts of "right" and "good" in individual and social conduct. Aesthetics studies the concepts of "beauty" and "harmony."

Axiology primarily refers to the ‘aims’ of the research.

This branch of the research philosophy attempts to clarify if you are trying to explain or predict the world, or are you only seeking to understand it.

Logic, originally meaning the word, or what is spoken, but coming to mean thought or reason is most often said to be the study of arguments.

Logic is the study of correct reasoning.

Logic is the branch of study that concerns questions about reference, predication, identity, truth, quantification, existence, entailment, modality, and necessity.
