“Philosophy is a vast field. There are philosophies in different parts of the world; when we look
at the philosophical activity in a region, we find that in different periods people thought

Classification is one way for the human being to get a grip on reality (in this case the reality of
ways of reflecting about reality). In short classification is a way of coping with a variety of
