Professional ethics
While I still personally benefit from all the areas of Philosophy, ethics has become the most important for this reason.
In professional ethics, the criterion for determination is "what would your professional peers think of what you did?"
For most people ethics is/are optional.
For me professional ethics are required and critical.

Are you subject to professional ethics?
If not, what aspect of Philosophy is most applicable to you?
Epistemology?
Metaphysics?
Teleology?
Aesthetics?
Science?
Politics?

Re: Professional ethics
During my first professional ethics class after state certification I realized that Philosophy does indeed have practical and business as well as legal applications as well.LuckyR wrote:Professional ethics brought me to this Forum, but personal curiosity on the Big Questions decades before, started me on this path originally.
The arguments about the choices involved in professional ethics were framed in the same way as modern and ancient Philosophy.
The "big questions" then came back to haunt me.

Aristotle first defined this as "what people say and do in the cities".
With Bernie on his last gasp against Hillary and Trump chomping at the bit to attack one of them, the future debates between Trump and Hillary most likely would make Aristotle blush.
The winner will take over the reigns of the most powerful person on the Earth. Ironically however he/she will have more power over the rest of the world rather than over us here in the USA because our Constitution gives the POTUS power over the military, more so over than any of us.
The Federal Justice Dept. has power over us, but as long as we be good then we are exempt from them.
As far as politics go, if he wins Trump will go down as a political science genius for mobilizing his tv audience and using it first to hijack the GOP and then next to hijack the US presidency. His hoards of money has helped too of course.
If Hillary wins it will be the triumph of womanhood over male chauvinism. This all started back with the 19th Amendment in 1920. Now we will find out if that was a good idea or not.
