What branch of philosophy should you study?

You Should Study Aesthetics

You are a deep thinker, but unlike most deep thinking types, you don't get too stuck inside your head.
You are instead inspired by the world around you, especially by its beauty. You are a very visual person.

And it's not enough for you to simply notice that something is beautiful. You like to think about what makes it so gorgeous.
You like to explore the philosophy of beauty - through thinking and maybe even through making your own art.

You Should Study Epistemology

You're the type of person who is comfortable with uncertainty and more questions than answers.
In fact, it tends to bug you when people are a know-it-alls or unrealistically confident about what they know.

You aren't sure that we know what we think we know, and you believe that knowledge is always evolving.
You like to reflect on whether true knowledge is possible at all. And if so, what can we really know for sure?

epistemology. LOL
 
Metaphysics

"Of all the types, you are the most likely to be familiar with and drawn to philosophy already. You like to think about heavy questions about existence, reality, time, and life. You sometimes freak people out with this!

You spend more time than most people thinking about the meaning of life and what being human is all about.
You think contemplation is its own reward, and you simply strive to understand the world a little better."
 
Ethics

You are very interested in what is morally right and what is morally wrong. What is the right way to live?
You aren't concerned with morals because you are a moralist. In fact, you just consider the questions of ethics to be interesting and quite open.

You love to think about hypothetical situations and which actions would be the right ones to take. You even like to debate these things with your friends.
You think morality is complicated and nuanced. You observe and think instead of judge and preach.

Logic

When you look at the world, you can't help but notice all the faulty thinking that goes on.
You think the world can be improved by looking at things logically and rationally - even if the truth hurts.

And while you are concerned with the truth, you're not so into collecting concrete facts. Abstract thinking appeals to you more.
You would like to analyze your own beliefs better, as well as the beliefs of others. You don't think any line of thought is too sacred to be questioned.
