School of thought

A school of thought is a collection of individuals and organizations that encourage basic and complex beliefs pertaining to any manner of subjects. Schools of thought can be based in many fields of study, such as economic schools of thought, political schools of thought, philosophical schools of thought, etc. The individuals that comprise a school generally share the same core beliefs, albeit usually with varying differences.
