Ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics are areas of philosophy that address topics that are likewise addressed in fields like psychology, political science, sociology, and anthropology. but instead of concentrating on what different people call the good life, moral duties, social obligations, or beauty, these areas of philosophy search for: (a) reasons why different people should or should not think about such topics as they do.(b) the personal or social causes of why different people think about such topics as they do.(c) ways of getting people to question and ultimately to reject ways they have been raised.(d) a basic principle by which both philosophy and the social sciences can be reduced to the physical sciences (especially physics).
