Philosophy, especially philosophy of religion, aesthetics, ethics and metaphysics, is popular in Sharifistan and promoted by the government. It is compulsory for much of secondary education.Some types of political philosophy are engaged in, due to some cricitism of the government being accepted (and in the reign of the Prince-Regent Khalid Suleiman Khan being encouraged) but not Marxist philosophy which is prohibited.
Philosophy of religion
Most popular in the philosphy of religion is Suleiman Ahmed Muhammad Khalid Effendi's shadow theory which states that any theory of God is a "shadow" of the truth (something bearing some similarities to the truth whilst being an illusion) rather than the truth as God (Professor Effendi uses the terms "Allah" and "God" interchangeably) is incomprehensible (impossible to understand).This is followed by most Sharifistani philosophers of religion. Others follow a Witgenstienian perspective where distinguishing between the "shadow" and truth is seen as meaningless.
Ethics Most Sharifistani ethicists follow natural law theory similar to Suleiman Ahmed Muhammad Khalid Effendi. There are however other schools of thought such as the Kantian tradition of Abdullah Ali Khan(Philosopher) and the Utilitarian tradition of Ahmed Pathan.
