We need a type for philosophies. We've got topics on all sorts of philosophies, but they tend to be labeled as film or book subjects.

What are some examples? Do you also have ideas for what properties might be applied to these philosophies?

Examples? Sure. Existensialism is a typical example of a philosophy. As for what properties, I'm not sure. I imagine something like what the main focus of the philosophy is (e.g., some philosophies focus more on epistemology than on metaphysics, especially postmodernist philosophies), or what type of philosophy, etc. Wikipedia's philosophy portal would be a good model.

I don't think it would be terribly useful to have a type for "a philosophy". There isn't really such a thing a philosophy, only various collections philosophical ideas. I would recommend creating types for philosophy subtopics such as epistemology, metaphysics, phil of language, ethics, etc. There could also be types for schools of thought such as utilitarianism, existentialism, functionalism (to name a very random assortment from different areas of philosophy).
