It is divided in 6 areas, that are: epistemology, metaphysics, logic, philosophy of religion, political philosophy and ethics; and the centre represents the word Philosophy. As every physic, psychologist, historian or biologist study a certain topic, philosophers also have their own topic to study, and this is divided.
In the logic part, we have shapes, as circles, squares, triangles, etc. Because they study how we should think, if we are rational or not, if we know what is good and what is not. So, its something specific, that only has a form or description; something real.
In epistemology, we can see experiments, tests, because this represents what does the philosophers do when they wonder some questions like, how could we know that something is true or not, or if all opinions are relative. They wonder fundamental questions about the concept of truth, what it could be possible. So they make some proves to clarify this questions.
We represented metaphysics with different people, different brains, because in this part the philosophers try to find if all mental events are really brain events, what is the relationship between the mind and the body. So they study different people and their believes, thoughts, feelings.
In philosophy of religion, we can see some religions, different cultural representations of deities, because philosophers investigate about the existence of God, the problem of evil, and the relationship of faith and reason, if these two concepts are opposites or complements each other.
In political philosophy, we put some government representations as flags, presidents, territories, because philosophers wonder what is justice, what are the limits of governmental authority, if the authority is good or not. So they study all these concepts as rules, ways of government; if these people is fair and right.
And the ethic part is represented by people demonstrating their values, what is correct and incorrect for each person, because the philosopher wonder if there are any correct ethical values, if they are relative or how can we decide what is right or wrong. They study the different values from one person to another.
