Philosophy: An Interdisciplinary Approach April Norris

The study of the fundamental questions related to knowledge, existence, mind, language and reason is known as philosophy. There are numerous methods used within this field such as critical discussion, questioning, rational arguments and systematic presentation. Some of the major subfields within this discipline are metaphysics, ethics, epistemology and logic. Metaphysics studies the basic features of reality such as time, objects and existence, along with their properties. The field of enquiry which deals with good and bad conduct, right and wrong values, and good and evil, is known as ethics. The study of the putative sources of knowledge such as intuition, memory and perceptual knowledge is called epistemology. Logic refers to the study of reasoning and argument. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of philosophy and the recent researches in this field. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in this field. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
