What I Need to Remember

Great job students! You are now aware on the essence of philosophy
in your life. Taking to the next steps of learning philosophy requires you to
remember that philosophy is the study or discipline that uses human reason
to investigate the ultimate causes, reasons, and principles which govern all
things. The word philosophy comes from the Greek words philos (love) and
sophia (wisdom). People who engage in philosophy are called philosophers or
lovers of wisdom. People need to philosophize because of his sense of wonder
(Plato), his doubt (Descartes) and his experiences (Jaspers) that deepen their
understanding on the certain situation
