 '''Philosophy''' is a quizbowl category which covers philosophers, major schools of thought, and key philosophical concepts.
-As of 2025, the [[ACF]] distribution groups philosophy with social science under a shared "Social Science & Philosophy" subcategory. At [[ACF Fall]], the two subjects share a 1.5/1.5 allocation (tossups/bonuses) per packet. All other ACF tournaments allocate a full 2/2, with 1/1 specifically designated for philosophy. At all [[Collegiate difficulties|difficulty levels]] except novice difficulty, players should expect roughly 5% of questions in a given packet of 20 questions to be philosophy.

		+
		+	Traditionally, Philosophy was considered part of the [[RMP]] and [[RMPSS]] categories, which paired it with [[Religion]] and [[Mythology]]. Since 2018, it has become more common to divide RMPSS into Belief (Religion & Mythology) and Thought (Social Science & Philosophy).
