    What do you think is the dividing factor between studying a subject vs the philosophy of a subject?
    Say Philosophy of the mind vs sociology or psychology, all with their respected fields that can lead to each other but at the same time categorized differently.

    Study of X denotes formulating a model for explaining X-relevant data or phenomena. Study of the 'philosophy of X', on the other hand, denotes analyzing, clarifying, further determining, delimiting, systematizing ... the concepts and methods used to describe X.
