Knowledge Supernatural Universe   Humans
Explanation: Human knowledge is composed of 10 pillars. The order of the pillars follows a fundamental division of knowledge into four generic phenomena: knowledge (pillar 1), supernatural (pillar 2), universe (pillars 3-4-5), and humans (pillars 6-7-8-9-10). Foundations (1) is focused on the metaknowledge (i.e. knowledge about knowledge) of human knowledge. The Supernatural (2) explores religion and mysticism. Matter & Energy (3) and Space & Earth (4) explore the material universe. Non-Human Organisms (5) and Body and Mind (6) explore the living world. Note that from a scientific perspective they explore the Living World, while from a cultural perspective they belong to different categories. Non-Human Organisms is part of the Universe (or nature), while Body & Mind is part of the humans. Society (7), Thought & Art (8), Technology (9), and History (10) explore various perspectives of civilization (or culture).
