Your description of your diagram

-as plato analyzed the every categorical aspect of truth, he manifest or initiate merely on the concept has a universal
forms, in which the ideal forms, would only lead to an idealistic of mindset. He focuses inwards through the guiding
of models, such as arithmetic, geometric,etcs., also regarding to the two world(it emphasized the world of being in
which this is unchanging, eternal, and also intelligible forms, the world of becoming in which, changing, temporary,
sensible particulars, imperfect copies that received their being, and are explained in terms of their particular in the
forms), In his epistemology is based on the strictly speaking, knowledge is only of unchanging forms. As from the
formulation is based on we can have knowledge only from the forms (and opinion about sensible particulars)
- as Aristotle believes that universe are forms that are not necessarily attach to each object instead are segregated from
the typical bases are in the practical, this worldly focus in the outwardly through sense guiding model, such as
biological aspect., from the aspect of one world it simply state that it is informed matter in which the world of primary
substance(individual particular, composites of forms and matter) the explainable in terms of 4 causes(final, formal,

purpose,, and his bases of knowledge is based on sense of experiences.
4. By looking a both eastern and western anxiety philosophies, what parallels (commonalities) can be drawn from
the works – what are common principles present in both/either philosophies. What “Essence” can we extract from
the nature of these ideas? (Core ideas)

Your description of your diagram

- Western focuses on the development of an individual persona, by accumulation of knowledge by separate
parts from the whole master and control reality, from apart from and they make emphasis on an heavy use of
logical reasoning, and categorization, than eastern philosopher. And they tend to break down ideas as much
as it can be broken to, and they tend to focus on the parts rather than the whole.
- Eastern, focuses on the concepts of universal, soul, and intellect, interrelated or oneness harmonies, and the
unified adapt to external changes. There concepts mostly focus on the collectivism idea, where human being
is an integral parts of the universe and the society, people are fundamentals connected, the duty toward all
others is very important virtue.

5. By looking at our own core values as a school (Ateneo) where do we derive our sense on what is good right (as
seen in our core values of Excellence, Spirituality, and Citizenship) – explain your answer using the principles
identified

Your description of your diagram

- As on the bases of our core value focuses initially on the whole of the society, they focuses on how to give a
big emphasis on the service of the society by their knowledge, the focus as their collectivism of the society,
they tend to focus on the big picture of the world, and what are the big emphasis on how to give contribution
toward the whole instead of developing one essence from another.
