[1] In Denmark,[4] Finland,[5] Germany,[6] the Netherlands,[7] Sweden,[8] and the United States,[9] courses in theoretical and practical philosophy are taught separately, and are separate degrees.
Other countries may use a similar scheme—some Scottish universities, for example, divide philosophy into logic, metaphysics, and ethics—but in most universities around the world philosophy is taught as a single subject.
There is also a unified philosophy subject in some Swedish universities, such as Södertörns Högskola.
Theoretical philosophy is sometimes confused with analytic philosophy, but the latter is a philosophical movement, embracing certain ideas and methods but dealing with all philosophical subject matters, while the former is a way of sorting philosophical questions into two different categories in the context of a curriculum.
