My personal touching about cosmology is that studying cosmology in philosophy it

reveals about the nature of the of the study of the universe, its structure, origin,

evolution, and destiny. It is a demonstration of the power of modern science to

transform our understanding of who we are and where we came from. As we all know

in book of Genesis in the bible God created the world, but according to cosmology

theories the creation of the universe was base of the Big Bang theory. Although both

side have their own perspective how the world starts. I do believe that what matter

most is we have to be thankful of what we have and see how beautiful the world is.

When we talk about ontology it is one of the branch of philosophy that studies the

concepts of existence, being, becoming, and reality. Ontology is traditionally as a part

of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics. But in ontology its

concerned is about what entities exist where in metaphysics seeks to explain, of those

entities. Studying ontology help us to categorized thing. This scientific ontology has

been so successful in terms of understanding nature and controlling it that it has come

to dominate the way we think about everything, including, for some people, religion.

The process of attaining knowledge is the primary concern of epistemology. It explains

how we can determine the difference between falsity and truthfulness of things. It

addresses problems about the scope, reliability and extent of our knowledge; including

the human thoughts, emotions and ideas. It tries to understand the significant

relationship of mind and reality; and how our consciousness affects our perception

about the reality where we are in. The term was derived from the Greek word

“episteme” which means knowledge and logos, to study. It is called the science of

human knowledge. It investigates the process, origin and the validity of the human

knowledge. It asks questions like “what makes things as true or untrue? Knowing
epistemology help us to identify what is right of wrong. Every time I hear the word

Ethics, the number one comes to my mind is to do things in moral. Since, Ethics is a

branch of philosophy that studies morality and evaluates the uprightness of human

actions. It assesses the questions, ‘What I ought to do?’, ‘What makes my judgment

good?’ and ‘Is it required for me to do good?’. Hence, ethics tries to explain the need

or applicability of known moral standards to the people's daily activities. It deals with

the study of the rightness or the wrongness of the human actions. It asks the question,

“What makes a person righteous?”. Basically, ethics studies values, principles and

standards of human actions across cultures. When humanity has learned to make

something that is useful to them, they begin to plan and dream how to make it beautiful.

Then the philosophy of Aesthetic took place on to this matter. Since the time when

human ingenuity had flourished, humanity began to dream for something that is

beneficial, useful and beautiful. They were responsible for the emergence of questions

like ‘What is the function of beauty to the objects?’. This has brought Aesthetics to the

pedestal. It is an attempts to evaluate whether the concept of beauty is subjective or

not. It studies the effective methods in evaluating the beauty lies on things. Studying

the philosophy of aesthetic help us to vitalize our knowledge. It makes our knowledge

of the world alive and useful. It also helps us live more deeply and richly. As a being

of body and soul, a human being needs nourishment for his/her higher life as well as

his/her lower. And lastly, it brings us in touch with our culture. Since things about as

change rapidly nowadays that we forgot how much we owe to the past. We cannot

shut ourselves off from the past any more than we can shut ourselves off

geographically from the rest of the world. It is hard for us to live to this selfish world

but we have to be brave and make things beautiful so we can survive and be happy

to our lives.
