The former tradition is commonly focused on conceptual analysis. The latter tradition is distinctive for its associations with particular movements. Eastern philosophy is another, discrete discipline. Each of these can be considered individually or in how it differs from the others. Philosophy, in brief, has several connotations in common speech, but this article will focus on philosophy as a field of study.
