Practical philosophy

This article is about practical philosophy in general. For the Gilles Deleuze's book Spinoza: Practical Philosophy, see Spinoza: Practical Philosophy.

Practical philosophy concerns itself mainly with subjects that have applications in life, like the study of values, norms, politics, art, etc.[1] The modern division of philosophy into theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy[2][3] has its origin in Aristotle's categories of natural and moral philosophy.[4] The one has theory for its object and the other practice.[2]
