Assignment #1
Define the self based on the following philosophers’ view

 Socrates, Plato, Augustine

 Socrates believed that the self exists in two parts. One part is physical,
tangible aspect of us. Socrates believed that when we are in the
physical realm, we are alive and our body and soul are attached,
therefore making both parts of our self-present in the physical realm.
 Plato believed into 3 parts; the body, the mind and the soul. The body
is the physical part of the body that is only concerned with the
material world, and through which we are able to experience the
world we live in.
 Augustine, sense of self is his relation to God.

 Descartes, Locke, Hume and Kant

 Descartes believed the mind is the seat of our consciousness. Because
it houses our drives, intellect and passions, it gives us our identity and
our sense of self
 Locke considered personal identity to be founded on consciousness.
Therefore, self-identity is not based on the soul. One soul may have
various personalities. Neither is self-identity founded on the body
substance, argues Locke, as the body may change while the person
remains the same.
 Hume suggests that the self is just a bundle of perceptions, like links in
a chain. Hume argues that our concept of the self is a result of our
natural habit of attributing unified existence to any collection of
associated parts.
 Kant presents apperception as a means to consciousness to one’s self.
Inner sense is not pure apperception.

 Freud, Ryle, Churchland, Ponty

 The ego and self in the thought of Sigmund Freud, the self-one’s
person as object of one’s narcissistic or aggressive cathectic
investment; the person one believes, wishes or hopes oneself to be, as
distinct from the actual object, one’s(or another’s) actual person.
Sigmund Freud’s Layers of the Self:
Id, Ego, Super Ego
 Rather than dualism, Churchland holds to materialism, the belief that
nothing but matter exists. When discussing the mind, this means that
the physical brain, and the mind, exists. Adding to this, the physical
brain is where we get our sense of self.
 Rationalism asserts that reason and mental perception, rather than
physical senses and experience, are the basis of knowledge and self.

 Sulong Wikang Filipino Edukasyong Filipino para kanino?

Dapat na isulong ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino para mapa-unlad at maibahagi
ang mga wika, kultura at pamumuhay ng mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas. Hindi lamang ito
nagpapakita nakaraan o historya ng bansa kundi pagbibigay ito ng mga kaalamanan. At
para lubusang maunawan ang mga Pilipino na mahalin ang sariling wika, kultura,
tradisyon. Nang sa gayon ay may ipagmamalaki pa tayo sa ibang bansa.

 Kahalagahan ng Wikang Filipino, bakit nais tanggalin? Tagapagtanggol ng Wikang

Filipino
Dahil sa bagong pinatupad na programa na kung saan ay dapat makasabay sa ibang
bansa. Lalo na sa bagong henerasyon ay nasasawalang bahala na ang Wikang Filipino,
imbis na sariling atin ang pagaralan ay ibang wika, kultura at tradisyon ang
pinagaaralan ng iba na halos madali lamang para sa iba ang matutunan iyon. Sa ibang
parte naman ay kagustuhan ng maging tuwid at tama ating pagsasalita ng Ingles
halimbawa na lamang sa paghahanap ng trabaho, pakikipagusap sa turista, pagpunta sa
ibang bansa ay dapat mahusay mag- Ingles at may kaalamanan. Ngunit hindi ito dapat
maging dahilan para tanggalin ang Wikang Filipino, dahil sa hindi naman madadala ang
sariling wika natin sa ibang lugar. Bukod rito, naniniwala ako na hindi naman dapat
tuluyang itigil ang paggamit at pag-aaral sa sariling wika natin sapagkat ito lamang ang
paraan upang makamit ang intelektwalisasyon nito.
