  1. Classifications of what? Yes, of course there are, but you must be specific.

    There are the 2 basic, opposing philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, competing philosophies that still rule the world today, including the Arab world--the Arabs translated Aristotle before Thomas Aquinas did, and they incorporated ideas from both Plato and Aristotle into their culture.

    Then there is the other basic division of Epriricism vs. Rationalism.

    Objectivism vs Subjectivism. Naturalism vs. Creationism. Phenomena vs. Noumena.

    And not all classifications need to be compared. Philosophy is divided into the classifications of Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics, Political Science, and Aesthetics, and then sub-divided.

    There are thousands of classifications--depending on what it is you are investigating.


  2. Only in man's mind.

  3. Metaphysics, ontology, ethics, aesthetic, epistemology, and axiology.

    These of course form branchs as well.
