What are the major branches of philosophy?

Ayn Rand claimed that philosophy consisted of five major branches -- metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and esthetics. Is that right? If so, why are those the five major branches? Are they comprehensive in some way? Why not include philosophy of science, logic, philosophy of mind, and so on?
