ACTIVITY 4

[no]

Hi! I am   , from and I’m grateful to share with you of what I’ve learned this first 4 weeks of
our school year 2021 to 2022 in Introduction in Philosophy to the World

[Video]

I feel quite excited about this subject because it feels like it pushes me to become a better version of
myself. Many of the philosophical lessons can be applied in virtually any endeavor. This is both because
philosophy touches so many subjects and, especially, because many of its methods can be used in any
field. The study of philosophy enhances the ability of a person to solve problems. We can evaluate
concepts, definitions, arguments, and issues. It helps to organize thoughts and problems, to address
value concerns and to extract what is vital from a huge amount of information. It allows us to distinguish
between fine and subtle different perspectives on the one hand and to identify common ground
between different opinions on the other. It enables us also to integrate different ideas or viewpoints
into a cohesive whole.

And this past few days, I’ve been reading about the methods of philosophizing. It brings me further to
the understanding of the different methods used in taking different sources – To come up with the right
conclusion. This will lead us to eliminate opinions from facts and truths. This lesson introduced me in
different methods of knowing the truth

It is human nature to seek validation from others. The human person does it every day – seeking
approval from colleagues, friends and loved ones on numerous topics.

The human person seeks validation because he or she want to be right, not wrong.

And now I have 10 points to remember about this lesson.

First is Philosophizing means seeking the truth and engaging in a way to reveal the truth and fulfillment
of the purpose of the various stages of life and everything associated with it.

[no]

It is a kind of discourse on reality. It is essentially tied up with man’s openness towards the reality which
is being verbalized. It is the process of determining the truth or drawing a conclusion from a given
statement. It is not only deepening an understanding of something but also expanding awareness about
how something can be beneficial to us and to others.

a statement in the use of various philosophical method such as:
