This is the fundamental outline of a Quick Study , student's guide on
Philosophy, from a bookstore at Wayne State. These days they have almost all
college subjects outlined on charts.  I will progressively fill in details
of the outline in successive posts. 
 
ande should be able to critique this very much.  
 
I am struck by the priority and emphasis on Ethics. This , I think, has good
potential for some convergence between the Marxism's emphasis on practice,
as Ethics is a focus on what people _do_ , action. 
 
Also, the definition of "Morality" right at the outset of Ethics refers to a
"Class of rules held by society to govern right conduct by members. This
reminds of culture , in the anthropological sense, and of Confusionism.
