Philosophy is the academic study of all wisdom.

The word translated from greek
Philo = love
Sophy = wisdom

It is interesting because the branches of philosophy cover all formal institutions of knowledge.

Metaphysics - The theories of reality

Ontology - The theories of being and what can be

Epistemology - The theories of knowledge and what can be known

Politics - The theories of justice and how societies should be governed

Ethics/Morality - The theories of what it means to live a good life/be a good person

Economics/Axiology - The theories of value, worth, and market exchange or trade

Aesthetics - The theories of art and beauty

Any inquiry that you should seek to field can be found in philosophical discourse and expounded upon at length from varying individuals across a range of social and historical spectrums.

It is actually pretty amazing...but only if you really think about it.
