Practical philosophy

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