    Western philosophy usually focuses on five categories: metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics. It tends to use logic and reasoning to break ideas down into parts and find differences between ideas. Eastern philosophy also explores these categories but does not make strong distinctions between some, like metaphysics and epistemology or philosophy and religion. It focuses more on seeing ideas as a whole and finding similarities between ideas.
