II. Describe the following using two to three sentences only.

1. Body
Is the entire physical structure that makes up a person. Philosophers believe that the body, like
any other material object, is perceived through our senses. The human body, often known as the
body- subject, is distinguished by phenomenologists because it is linked to subjectivity.

2. Dualism

Descartes was the first to associate the mind with consciousness and self-awareness, and to
recognize that the mental and physical – or mind and body or mind and brain – are significantly
different kinds of things in certain aspects. Although ‘mind' and 'body' are contrasted in
dualism, different components of the mind have been the focus of attention at different eras.

3. Theory of Form

Plato claimed that the physical world is not truly real since ultimate reality exists beyond it.   In
line with this theory, ideas in this meaning are the non-physical essences of all things of which
objects and matter within the physical world are only imitations.

4. Form and Matter

The matter of a thing is made up of the elements that when the thing comes into being can be
said to have become it; and the form is the  arrangement or organization of those elements, as
a result of which they have become the thing they have. The terms form and matter denote a
fundamental duality in all existence: the essence or "whatness" of a  thing which is the form, and
the material it is composed of, which is the matter.

5. Category Mistake

A category mistake is a linguistic error in which one  mistakenly uses one type of term instead of
another.  And in most cases, category mistake occur when the  superficial grammar of a word or
a sentence conceals a completely distinct type of logical form.

6. Embodied Subjectivity

It is shaped by feelings, which orient and motivate the quasi-discursive, narrativized flow of

"inner speech," so that all thinking should be viewed as a form of "felt  thinking."  The physical
body, according to Maurice Merleau-Ponty, is a fundamental aspect of the subjective self.  

7. Empiricism
Is a theory of knowledge in which sensory  experience is the sole or primary source of
knowledge. Individuals do not have innate knowledge, according to this theory.

8. Rationalism

It believes that knowledge and self-awareness are founded on reason and mental perception
rather than bodily senses and experience. To put it another way, it's all in our reasoning
thinking heads. The mind is the seat of human consciousness, according to many who hold
this notion.

9. Idealism

Asserts that the entire physical world exists only in our minds. It rejects the existence of
physical objects. Reality is made up of ideas and the minds that hold them.

10. Eudaimonism

Is an ethical philosophy that emphasizes on eudaimonia, which can be translated as

"happiness", "flourishing" or "well-being" and is typically regarded  as the highest human ideal.
Happiness is both the beginning and the conclusion of existence.

III. Essay

What is your own philosophy of life? What do you think is the best life’s principle that is fitted
to your own experiences and convictions?

By applying philosophy into my daily living, I am confident that I will be able to

live a better life. It also broadens my standpoint and perspectives, helping me to think
more objectively and honestly. My philosophy in life is that you should live while you are
alive and let others have that same opportunity. You are free to do whatever you choose
with your life as long as it brings you joy and does not harm others. Life is too short of a
life to waste it on things you don't desire. In this world, happiness is all we can wish for,
and we must be diligent to get it. When we can, we should help others, and we should
courteously accept the failures we have when we have to. When it comes to my
principles, I stand on my point of forgiving others and especially yourself. Forgiveness
opens the path to healing from the past. Many people can forgive others but cannot
forgive themselves. I recommend that you begin with yourself. Allow yourself to be
completely forgiven, and allow love to heal you. Remember that forgiveness does not
mean forgetting; rather, it entails seeing the past in a fresh perspective. We must mend
the past in order to avoid future excess baggage. Because your mind is stuck on
something that is no longer relevant, reliving the past might ruin a bright future. And, of
course, always be around terrific people, particularly those who bring out the best in you.
We attract like-minded folks if we have low self-esteem. They are more likely to notice
the features of ourselves that we disapprove of. Surround yourself with people who
recognize your strengths and don't take you for granted. Simply be yourself, since being
true to yourself will attract the appropriate people into your life.
