Thank you for your response sir. Okay I got it . But which is best possible classification system or map . That is most complete. A map which has tried to capture totality of all known knowledge without leaving anything significant. I want this so I am not unaware if any field of knowledge. Atleast any significant feild of knowledge Practically Best possible . As you suggest I read all links But a question comes in mind that which map should I trust For my needs . Which map has that quality.

Yes, I understand, like you I have the same question and desire for a map of all knowledge. It relates to library science, how to organize all books on all subjects; and in general, the aim of academia, an organized system to learn, research, and teach all subjects. On the dark side, it relates to Seeing Like a State, the quest for dominion over the entire world and everything in it. There is the concept of legibility, the limits of what you can know (see/measure/quantify/understand) and the vast unknown beyond it. So we must accept that the map can never be complete. But we can try! You'll have to create your own comprehensive outline and classification system. I'd start with an encyclopedic overview. > Below is a summary of the world's knowledge, in the form of an outline. Each subject in turn links to an outline that summarizes that subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines Culture and the arts Geography and places Health and fitness History and events Human activities Mathematics and logic Natural and physical sciences People and self Philosophy and thinking Religion and belief systems Society and social sciences Technology and applied sciences Each of these expanded: Culture and Humanities – Aesthetics • Anthropology • Archaeology • Celebrities • Classics • Communication studies • Critical theory • Cultural heritage • Ethics • Folklore • Language • Linguistics • Movements • Mythology • Philosophy • Popular culture • Religion and spirituality • Tourism • Traditions The arts – Art galleries • Art schools • Museums Literature – Poetry • Fiction (Novel • Short story • Fairy tale) • Screenwriting Performing arts – Circus • Comedy • Dance • Film • Opera • Theatre Visual arts – Animation • Architecture • Architecture history • Comics • Design • Digital art • Drawing • Fashion • Fashion design • Graphic design • Interior design • Landscape architecture • New media art • Painting • Photography • Sculpture • Textile arts Geography – Atlas • City • Climate • Demographics • Earth • Exploration • Geographic information system • History of geography • Map • Park • Place • Population density • Region • Spatial analysis • Subregion • Surveying History by region, time period, subject Human activity – Agriculture • Arts • Business • Child care • Communication • Crime • Educating (Learning, Teaching) • Entertainment • Exercise • Exploration (Underwater exploration, Space exploration) • Globalization • Hobbies • Industrialisation • Innovation • Law enforcement • Learning • Leisure activities • Management • Massage • Medicine • Navigation • Philosophy • Politics (Governance) • Publishing • Recreation • Religion • Reproduction • Resource consumption • Science • Sex • Shopping • Spending • Sport • Thinking • Transporting • Traveling • Underwater diving • Warfare Formal sciences – Information theory • Logic • Statistics • Theoretical computer science Mathematics – Algebra • Applied mathematics • Arithmetic • Calculus • Equations • Geometry • Mathematical analysis • Mathematics education • Mathematical practice • Measurement • Numbers • Philosophy of mathematics • Probability • Proofs • Theorems • Topology • Trigonometry Natural science – Physics • Astronomy • Biology • Chemistry • Earth science • Materials science • Computer science Philosophy – Aesthetics • Ethics • Epistemology • Logic • Metaphysics Social sciences – Accounting • Anthropology • Archaeology • Behavioural science • Cognitive science • Communication studies • Criminology • Critical theory • Cultural studies • Demography • Development studies • Economics • Education • Geography • History • International relations • Law • Linguistics • Management • Political science • Psychology • Public administration • Social policy • Social work • Sociology Technology and applied sciences – Aerospace • Agriculture, Agricultural science & Agronomy • Architecture • Automation • Automobile • Big science • Biotechnology • Cartography • Communication • Construction • Design • Electronics • Energy development • Energy storage • Engineering (Chemical engineering, Civil engineering, Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering) • Ergonomics • Firefighting • Food science • Forensics • Forestry • Free software • Health sciences • Health Informatics • Industry • Information science (Library and information science) • Internet • Machines • Management • Manufacturing • Mass communication • Mass production • Medicine • Military science • Military technology and equipment • Mining • Nanotechnology • Nuclear technology • Packaging and labeling • Processes • Robotics • Space exploration • Technology forecasting • Telecommunications • Tools • Weapons --- And all academic subjects. > Academic disciplines are conventionally divided into the humanities (including philosophy, languages, art and cultural studies), the natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, and biology); the formal sciences like mathematics and computer science; and the social sciences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_discipline...
