Philosop
Why should we studyhy
Philosophy?

Philosophy is a search for meaning. The term


search is more than just seeking or looking. It is
the critical examination to explore thoroughly in
order to find something of importance.
The search for the meaning of life is a personal
odyssey as each one of us is a player in the
philosophical enterprise. There is no person who
does not try to make sense of his existence as
each person is seeking fulfillment.

Story of The Young Rich Man (Mt 20:16-22)


Teacher, what must I do to possess everlasting
life? If you wish to enter into life keep my
commandments.
What do I need to do further? If you seek
perfection, go, sell your possession, and give to
the poor. You will then have treasure in heaven.
The story tells us that only by emptying ourselves and
giving to others shall we find the meaning and fullness of
life.
We realize that there is more to living than just getting
and having. Deep down inside us, there is a need to give,
a desire to share, a longing to serve.

Philosophy is a combination of two Greek words,


philia love and sophia wisdom. Thus, love of widsom.

Entering the World of Philosophy


Introductory Remarks
The discipline of
philosophy is a
steadfast
commitment to this
long
standing tradition of
speculating on possible
answers to philosophic
questions.

Some of these
classical questions
include:
What is reality?
How do we arrive at a
correct way of
reasoning?
Is there life after
death?
Does God exists?

Why do philosophers offer the greater


part of their lives reflecting on the
meaning of philosophical questions?
Philosophers devote their
time to thinking and
speculating
Possible reasons:
1.The philosopher wants
to address the needs of
the mind
2.The philosopher desires
to connect with the
great minds in history.

3.The philosopher wants


to form a community of
inquirers.
4.The philosopher
desires to breathe the
air of transcendence.
5.The philosopher wants
to be a model of
respect

Social Philosophy/Value Formation:


An Invitation to Responsible-Ethical Thinking

Social Philosophy
There are two concepts
should be studied and
magnified: the society and
the individual.

Value Formation
This would make sense of
what is valuable, important,
useful, right, just and
practical.

With the notion of Society,


these ideas unfoldsocial relation,
social contract

Presuppositions:
1.The process of
estimation/evaluation
2.A hierarchy of values

The Books Paradigm


In the history of philosophy, one can expect a plurality of
ideas and discussions revolving around the discipline of
value-ethical formation.
This plurality, in our opinion, has to do with the
philosophers own understanding of these three
important aspects:
1. The meaning of reality
2. The notion of human nature
3. The philosophers take on the relation of human
nature to society

The paradigm of this book is expressed


through these stages of reasoning:

1. Metaphysics
2. Philosophy of the
human person
3. Moral philosophy
4. Philosophy between
the individual and
society

CLASSICAL-ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
Plato and Aristotle stand as pillars of Ancient
Philosophy. Their teachings and philosophical
discussions serve as fertile grounds upon which
various philosophical traditions emerged and
developed.
Plato introduced the idea that philosophy should
aim for the unchanging truths.
He underlined the necessity of directing the mind
to contemplation on the perfect world of ideas.
Aristole- individual should develop a kind of
practical wisdom - a perspective shaped by ones
learning and insights from actual experiences.

PLATO
(427-347 B.C.E.)
Socrates: Know Thyself and Virtue is knowledge.
Meaning: He must express such concept in his
actions.
Platos understanding of the real world.
The Real World of Forms/ Ideas
Is the real world

The World of Senses


Is a domain of illusion.
Best explain in the Allegory of the Cave.

Plato convinced that as long as knowledge is


based on/derived from the world of senses, we
are merely collecting images of fleeting things.
We can never arrive at the core/ essence of
things if we allow the senses to determine our
ideas of the world.

Plato proposes that we should base human


understanding on the faculty of reason and the
world of ideas. Instead of the faculty of senses
and the world of the concrete.

It is through reason that man can


contemplate on the abstract world of
ideas.
One good reason why Plato promotes the
study
of mathematics in his system of educationforces us to understand certain unifying
principles.
And so, the mind must seek for principles
and not for sense impressions.

THEORY OF HUMAN NATURE


Plato reminds us not to be too attached to the
cravings/desires of the body.
He uses the image of the coffin to explain
how the human body acts as a constraint,
trap or limitation to what the human
mind/rational-soul could possibly
accomplish.
The coffin-image suggests an experience of
being trapped and Platos desire that man
will be free or liberated from such limitation.
His views on man is highly dualistic.

The Notion of Dualism


Plato looks at a human being from two opposing
or conflicting poles-the material body and the
non-material mind/soul. Since the soul for Plato
is indestructible, he believes that it will continue
to exist even after a persons physical death.
Plato assigns three parts to the soul:
reason, spirit, and desire.
In a hierarchical fashion, reason is the most important
faculty of the soul; it is then followed by
spirit/courage
and desire/appetite.

With the three functions of the soul, Plato is also


able to identify and distinguish the characteristics
expected in these three types of men who excel
in one of the three capacities of the soul: ruler
(philosopher king/queen),soldier(defense and
security) and producers( craftsmen, farmers,
fisher- folks, etc.)
Social Philosophy: Community Life
In Platos Republic, the ruler must be a philosopher
king/queen.
Concept of Justice- Justice is achieved if every
member of his ideal society will live a good and
happy life.
