Philosophy came from the Greek word which philos means love and sophia mean wisdom. So, philosophy
means love of wisdom. The ancient tradition the early Greek thinkers called themselves “wise men” and that by
humanity, Pythagoras wanted to call himself a “lover of wisdom” or philosopher.

While in science perspective philosophy is interested with the meaning of reality including human experiences.
Science seeks to explain the ultimate cause of everything by the use of human reason alone. To philosophies
means wonder about life, to question reality and to find sense in what we do as human beings. Philosophy as a
science therefore a subject that is directed towards meaningful activity as a result of reflection and analysis.

Cosmology- An example of cosmology is the study of the big bang theory.

Ontology - deals with the nature of existence of things. "Is there a god?" or Does the world really exist?
"What does to exist mean?

Metaphysics - metaphysics studies the nature of the mind. What is the meaning of life? What happens to us
when we die?"

Psychology - when you: smile to portray warmth and approachability. Use body language to attract.

Thoedicy- investigates the nature, being and attributes of god not based on the bible and divine revelation but
by logical abstraction and reasoning. There is, for example, the view that evil is not an actually existent reality
but rather the absence of some good, such as sight, health, love, or moral virtue.

Epistemology- "What is knowledge?", "How is knowledge acquired?", "What do people know?, What is its
structure, and what are its limits?"

SEMANTIC- semantics to understand when a mom’s directive to “do your chores” as, “do your chores
whenever you feel like it.” However, the mother was probably saying, “do your chores right now.”
A child could be called a child, kid, boy, girl, son, daughter

AXIOLOGY- When the moon is observed by different people, for instance, it sometimes appears sad to one
person but happy to a mother. Even when the same person looks at the moon, if the person is sad, the moon
may look sad, but if that person is happy, the moon may look happy. Differences in beauty arise depending on
tile mood of the subject.

Ethics from the Greek word ethos which means “characteristics way of acting” which proper to rational being.
“What do you mean by rational being? It is someone who is sensible and able to make decision based on the
intelligent thinking rather than emotion.”

eth·ics = moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity.

From the very beginning of philosophy, philosopher have attempted to answer the question: how should we act?
They take as a given that there is different between living rightly or well and living wrongly or badly. Ethics
provide us with an answer to one of our basic social needs by defining the behaviors we expected and will accept
from one another. Ideally ethics allow us to live together, productively and in harmony with one another.

three phases of ethics

1. Descriptive Ethics - Consists of studying and describing the morality of a people, culture, or society. It
also makes comparisons and contrasts on different values, principles, code of ethics, beliefs and
practices of people.
Example:
Muslim men can be married multiple times.
Bowing heads in Korean and Japanesse and other country as a sign of respect.

2. Normative Ethics – consist of basic moral principles and value which is right is moral and wrong is
immoral.

3. Metaethics – both descriptive and normative ethics involved in metaethics. It simply analyzes the usage
and the meaning of words. Like good, bad, right, wrong, moral and immoral.
