Fields of Knowledge

Psychology is not a science, nor is economics. The "soft" sciences are marring their name by trying to be a science when they aren't. But I also think these fields are useful. Neither mathematics nor philosophy are fields of science, yet are paramount in quantifying knowledge. As such, I define a third spectrum of knowledge, phenomenology.
>Science: Fields of knowledge of that rely on the scientific method, including replicability, model building, and most importantly, predictions (which soft sciences lack).
>Logic: Fields of knowledge that do not follow the scientific method, but rather build knowledge upon axioms, e.g. reflexivity.
>Phenomenology: Fields of knowledge that are neither science nor logic. These realms of study are highly empirical, but cannot make strong predictions. They're merely observational and attempt to quantify phenomena plagued by innumerable variables that may not even be capable of being decoupled.
>Ring of bullshit: Areas that masquerade of their respective field of knowledge. They abuse methods in the fields of knowledge to propagate pure bunk.
I don't claim to have perfect placement of fields at the moment, nor even an exhaustive list. My goal: identify the largest fields of study in broad strokes, and then categorize them via their field of knowledge.
