Question

Which of the following is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and fundamental properties of being?
i.Metaphysics
j.Epistemology
k.Phenomenology
l.Existentialism

Answer 1

The answer is not existentialism (existentialism was a '70s movement associated with several French philosophers); it is actually metaphysics - or, specifically, ontology, "the branch of metaphysics that studies the nature of existence or being as such," according to Dictionary.com.

Epistemology studies the origin and nature of human knowledge, and phenomenology studies human consciousness and perception of "reality."

Answer 2

The answer is metaphysics. Metaphysics involves in the fundamental principles of the natural, i.e. physical world.

Epistemology involves the nature and scope of knowledge and belief.

Phenomenology can refer to two different schools or approaches to philosophy. The first is that of Hegel, and is sometimes called "dialectical phenomenology." The second is that of Husserl, and is the more prevalent school of phenomenology. It is also called "transcendental phenomenology."

Existentialism is a school or movement which came to popularity in the 20th century. It involves the questions of human existence, especially freedom. Various individuals grouped under the existentialist banner include Dostoevsky, Sartre, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger.

Answer 3

Existentialism.

The person who said "phenomenology" was probably confused when they saw the word "nature," because Phenomenology is concerned with the natural world that we experience directly. In contrast, Metaphysics is concerned with things humans cannot directly observe, such as questions of the supernatural, god's existence, and life after death. From its name, I'm guessing allegra's right about Epistemology being about human knowledge. I keep thinking of Epistemic Modality from Semantics class; it has to do with what we know about the world.
