You are lost in academic mumbo-jumbo here, meaning you are not classifying philosophy in any useful way. There is speculative philosophy, which is now a part of science in the form of hypotheses. There is applied philosophy, that which is applied to specific areas of life, such as education, business, politics, government, law, and economics. Then there is life-guiding philosophy, which is the over-arching mode of thinking. Humans have lacked an adequate over-arching life-guiding philosophy (hence their social and mental maladies continue, such as pettiness, vanity, envy, hate, prejudice, xenophobiia, war, greed, domination, depravity, depression, and suicide). There is a new philosophy that has taken up those reins - the Philosophy of Broader Survival. Through it, you will not only become enlightened, but you will see human history for what it was - deplorable, clueless, and foolish.
