Applied Philosophy
can be described as a collective term for the various areas of application of philosophical knowledge and methods in social and cultural life. In contrast to classical philosophy, she does not only discuss questions about being in the world. It is geared directly to the self-knowledge and action of man, that is to the life practice, the art of living.
With ethics, i. e. with maxims of life, which are derived from the responsibility towards others and the environment, applied philosophy is inseparably connected. Examples are the
medical ethics * environmental ethics * animal ethics * business ethics * ethic personality.
Different ethics, even if repeatedly suppressed and fought, have become firmly rooted in the various cultures of mankind for millennia. Their teachings are summarized in philosophies as well as in religions and also form the basis for state constitutions and for the declaration of universal human rights of 1948.

The Far Eastern philosophies exemplify how we can use applied philosophy daily for our physical and mental well-being. They are holistic philosophies that also make the wisdom of the body practically tangible. They are no less systematic, but less rational than Western philosophy. 
Indigenous traditions teach us to recognize and appreciate our natural environment beyond our everyday levels of experience. As the oldest known spiritual traditions of humanity, they are strongly associated with the natural elements of life, with the manifold natural manifestations of life on earth, and provide connection to the spiritual spheres.
