What Is It?

Where did Philosophy originate?

Philosophy traces its roots in Ancient Greece in the 6^th Century BCE. Traditions had it that the word Philosophy was first coined by Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician. He used this term to classify three classes of people who attended the ancient Olympic Games as lovers of gain, lovers of honor; and lovers of knowledge or wisdom (Caraan 2016, 2). He favored the third class for not being driven by profit nor honor. Instead, they sought ways to arrive at the truth. He then called these people as philosophers. Among the ancient Greeks, philosophers became pioneers in history, biology, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and even physics.

What is Philosophy?

Many philosophers could not agree on the exact definition of the word philosophy. Despite its varying definitions and lack of general agreement to it, it does not mean that the term cannot be defined and characterized. Here are some popular definition of philosophy:

a. Etymological definition

The word philosophy is derived from philosophia which is a combination of the Greek terms philos (love) and Sophia (wisdom). Thus, philosophy means love of wisdom.” Philosophers, therefore, are the people who are “lovers of wisdom” (Amanze, et. Al., 2010)

b. Technical definition

Philosophy can be best defined as the science of the first causes (Maritain, 2005). It seeks to know and clarify the very source of which all the chain of causes ultimately all go back to it.

Philosophy is also a science since it utilizes reason and logic in an attempt to understand reality and answer fundamental questions concerning knowledge, life, morality, and human nature.

What are the branches of Philosophy?

Metaphysics	Study of Existence	What's out there?
Epistemology	Study of Knowledge	How do I know about it?
Ethics	Study of Action	What should I do?
Politics	Study of Force	What actions are permissible?
Aesthetics	Study of Art	What can life be like?

Source:http://www.importanceofphilosophy.com/FiveBranchesMain.html

Philosophy can be divided into four major branches namely:

a. Metaphysics

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the examination of existence (Landauer and Rowlands 2001, para. 1). It answers queries like “What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of life? Does God exist?”.

b. Epistemology

Epistemology studies the process of attaining knowledge. It answers the question,

‘How do we know?”. Among the biggest concerns of epistemology are the origin and the verification or the confirmation of knowledge. It is also concerned with how the human person’s mind is associated with reality; and whether these relationships are valid or invalid (Landauer and Rowlands 2001, para. 1).

c. Ethics

Ethics is a branch of philosophy dealing with correct judgment. It answers the question, “What I ought to do?” It is the study of right or wrong in human actions (Landauer and Rowlands 2001, para. 1). It is concerned about human conduct. It deals with norms or standards of right and wrong applicable to human behavior.

d. Aesthetics

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that delves into art (Landauer and Rowlands 2001, para. 1). The study includes what art is and the purpose behind it . The philosopher is concerned with the analysis of aesthetic experience and the idea of what is beautiful. It attempts to answer questions like “is art subjective?”

What Is It?

How is holistic different from partial thinking?

In life, it is wise to adopt an all-inclusive perspective or view, which emphasizes on the idea that every part of a system has a mutual relationship. The interrelationship among things was first conceived by Aristotle. It can be best summarized by the line, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” This means that all parts are all related to each other and that it cannot be understood independently without considering the other factors (Gallinero and Estaris 2017, 25). This view of taking all things as part of a system is espoused in the philosophical doctrine of Holism.

Adhering to the doctrine of Holism, holistic thinking advocates looking at the “big picture” when analyzing s situation or problem. This would require one to be open-minded to get the general sense or impression regarding an event. In this regard, therefore, all aspects in a given situation must be considered. On the contrary, partial thinking adheres focusing on one factor in analyzing a situation or a problem to understand it. This kind of view is very limiting in nature.

Philosophy prefers holistic thinking to partial thinking. Developing a holistic perspective is essential to man since his life is not influenced or governed by a single factor only. It allows him to see the totality of life while putting him in a different vantage point when looking at things. It also teaches critical thinking and cultivates a sense of understanding in dealing with others.

As changes are inevitable, one must cultivate open-mindedness to many possibilities. In the same light, one must remember that every action one does create a ripple effect that will influence many aspects of his life.

Why does philosophy value questioning?

In philosophy, almost all questions are valid since they aim at understanding the world better. Any question that is genuinely felt and allows further exploration can be a philosophical one. In a general sense, questions are more important than the answers in the realm of philosophy.

For Plato, “Philosophy begins in wonder” (Abella 2016, 7). This means that one begins to embark on his philosophical journey through a life of questioning and searching the truth. Thus, philosophy starts with a feeling of curiosity and puzzlement. And it is man’s role to be in search of answers.

The habit of questioning can activate the mind to think and find solutions to different problems. Questions can help improve the body of knowledge since they can either challenge existing information or refine it. This is the reason why philosophy will endure because the act of questioning is eternal (Dy, 2005).

Why we Need Philosophy?

Philosophy plays an important role in one’s life. Students who learn philosophy get a great many benefits from doing so. Here some practical uses that one can get if he ventures in this undertaking:

1. Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical analysis and interpretation of concepts definitions, arguments, and problems.

2. Philosophy also improves problem-solving and decision making.

3. A philosopher is a wise communicator who can clear and adequately present his or her ideas.

4. Wisdom is one intended product of philosophizing, and this refers to a person’s ability to apply knowledge to daily life, particularly in making sound choices and judgment.

5. Finally, knowledge of philosophy can contribute to self-development.

What I Need to Know?

At the end of this lesson, the learners will be able to:

1. Realize the value of doing philosophy in obtaining a broad perspective on life (PPT11/12-Ib-1.3)

2. Do a philosophical reflection on a concrete situation from a holistic perspective. (PPT11/12-Ic-1.4)

Previously, we learned the historical development, meaning, and importance of philosophy. The Greeks pioneered in making philosophy a systematic study of wisdom. Philosophers therefore are regarded as lovers of wisdom. They have an insatiable desire for truth. Through philosophy, we can learn to be more discerning and critical to issues, information, and knowledge presented to us. In this lesson, you will understand the value of philosophical reflection in our daily life. It will also include reflecting on concrete experiences in a philosophical way based on a holistic point of view.

What is reflective practice?

Human activities encompass all events, actions, or happening that people do or cause to happen. One activity is philosophizing. It is man’s default to inquire beyond what can’t grasp. Since our childhood days, we have been asking the “whys” to better understand our perception of the world.

Reflective practice refers to a man’s personal study to his rich human experiences in his quest of personal development. As the famous line of Terry Pratchett says, “We live and learn, or, perhaps more importantly we learn and live.” Deliberate reflection paves the way for personal development and, in the professional aspect, allows for continuous update of skills and knowledge (Schön, 1986; Bolton, 2010, Paterson & Chapman, 2013).

Proponents of reflective thinking believe that the provenance of such practice started with Buddhist teachings and the meditations of Emperor Marcus Aurelius’, a stoic philosopher. The renowned American philosopher John Dewey, also made notable contributions in reflective practice in his studies on experience, interaction, and reflection.

The value of reflective practice can never be underestimated. It is very useful in various professions. Professionals can use this to assess their own performance and to deeply weigh their emotions, responses, and actions. It also enhances better communication and helps in coming up with informed and balanced decisions. Reflective practice is helpful in the fields of education, management, health care, and leadership.

It is important to remember that Socrates once said that “The unexamined life is not worth living.” He urged people to examine and reflect upon their lives by breaking away from their daily routine. For him, reflection is what produces great thoughts, ideas, and actions. Only when people become reflective, thoughtful, and philosophical, that the true meaning of life can de idealized.

Why do we engage in reflection?

Reflection means our willingness to process our own thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to learn more about our life and experiences (Abella 2016, 11). We can reflect upon any particular subject from the moment we wake-up until the rest of the day. There are endless opportunities to reflect in our day-to-day life.

A simple act of buying a new cellphone can put us in a reflective mood if we are consciously allowing ourselves to reflect before making a purchase. For example, when buying a new unit, our initial queries would include: “Is this the latest model?” Do I look fashionable in this color? However if we apply reflective practice, we can re-consider our purchase by asking some deeper questions like: ‘Is there a need to buy a new cellphone? “Is this a good and practical buy?” “Will it make my life more convenient?”

The example above illustrates that any mundane undertaking will be transformed into a meaningful act if you incorporate reflection. Buying a new cellphone is much easier when confronted with simple questions only. But reflecting first before making a purchase will allow us to consider our motivation as well as its possible consequences. Making wiser decisions and improving our spending habits are just few of the practical advantages when aided by reflection.

Abella (2016, 11-12) shared several benefits if one makes reflection as an integral part of his life. Making it a habit to self-reflect on a daily basis will:

1. Enable us to set our goals and put us in the path of thinking of ways to achieve them.

2. Ensure that our actions and decisions are well thought out and done in consideration of how it affects ourselves, others, and our surroundings.

3. Help us understand a better self-concept or self-image.

4. Allow us to exercise a good judgment in practical matters.

5. Provide us positive ways to cope with life challenges.

How to reflect on a concrete experience?

The concept of studying the lived experience of humans was pioneered by the German philosophers Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. This philosophical discipline came to be known as phenomenology. This approach studies the conscious experience of the individual from a subjective (first-person) point of view.

Following the scientific method of reflection espoused by phenomenology, we can say that philosophy does not consider myths, hearsays, and pure imaginations. Instead, understanding experiential events in life can be attained by following these steps (Gallinero and Estaris 2017, 21):

1. Identify the problem or any experience. Recall what happened.

2. Organize and evaluate your data. Gather all facts before making judgments.

3. Propose your own hypothesis by analyzing and interpreting your gathered data.

4. Start applying your hypothesis by creating a plan on what to do if the same experience happens again.

How did philosophy impact the world?

Every person has set of beliefs and values. It is everybody’s right to hold dearly all the things he considers important. Although there is subjectivity in this, it is imperative that we constantly evaluate our long-held beliefs and values.

This is where the value of doing philosophy comes into play. Philosophy is essential to man’s existence. It nourishes his mind and soul in as much as what food does to the body. Without feeding the mind and soul, it would be difficult for man to be satisfied in his existence.

The practical value of philosophy was seen in the progress of human development. The practice of truth seeking is inter-generational as the ideas of the early philosophers encourage the generations that followed to do the same. People studying philosophy studied the ideas of their predecessors. They learned about the predominant ideas of the time and how it affected their world view.

The practicality of philosophy has been handed to us over the years. At present time, the discipline had stimulated several reforms in various sectors in our society. The act of questioning continues to bring life-impacting benefits to us. For as long as people will continue to seek truth through asking questions, they can always have the potential to be better persons and make the world a better place to live in.
