It is amazing to realise how philosophies tend to spur a lot of passion in people's beliefs and truths as well as unbelief's and some lies. However, the most recognised clash of philosophies is of course between the religion and science. It is a fact well known that religions often make factual claims. However, some might argue that it does that, because it is its role to educate and guide the society. Anyway that is what is called philosophy. The term philosophy itself is the study of general as well as fundamental problems. The problems are mainly connected to beliefs and are intended to try and address by explaining why some things are the way they are. The problems might also be related to knowledge, existence, values, and mind among others. Generally Philosophy is a unique way of addressing problems as it uses a general systematic approach. It relies on rational argument with the sole intention of addressing critical issues.

The word actually comes from Greek words meaning love of wisdom. Therefore, when you hear religious teachers as well as organisations make such claims, it is very normal. The religion has done that for a long time and by doing that they do not step beyond the role that religion has and should play. The biggest debate however comes when they come face to face with scientists. They both have different philosophies and are actually both right at least depending on their personal beliefs, knowledge and understanding. Having said that, both of them are not doing something illegitimate, but one thing is true, the debate will never end.

When someone talks about philosophy, he or she should understand that they are talking about a diverse topic. This is because the levels of discussion always tend to be very many and that is why philosophy itself is classified into five different branches. The branches are Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, politics and Esthetics. Metaphysics is the study of existence whereas the study of knowledge, how you come to know about something falls under Epistemology. Sometimes you ask yourself what action you should take, now that comes under the branch Ethics and Politics itself is involved the study of forces. Lastly, the study of art as in what life can resemble is Esthetics.
