Methods of

Philosophizing

PRESENTED BY: GROUP 5

INTRODUCTION
philosophy brings the human person to a level of thinking
and/or expression that develops wisdom and further learning

When you failed, for the first time, you then realized what made
you fail; and so, the next time you are faced with a similar
situation, you already know better how to approach it in order
to succeed.

And when you reach that stage of philosophy, you are building
up on wisdom.
Wisdom is the application of knowledge.
 PHILOSOPHIZING
Philosophizing means to think or express oneself in a philosophical manner.

there are four methods of philosophizing, these are:

•Phenomenology
•Existentialism
•Analytic Tradition and,
•Logic
 PHENOMENOLOGY

Phenomenology Bread discipline and methods of

inguiry in philosophy which is based on the
premise that reality consists of objects and events
phenomena they are perceived or understood.
 EXISTENTIALISM

•Existentialism It is view that humans

define their own meaning in life, and
try to make rational decisions despite
existing in an irrational universe.
 EXAMPLE
when a person makes a decision
about their life, follows through or
does not follow through on that
decision and begins to create their
essence.
 ANALYTIC
TRADITION

•Analytic Traditions Analytic philosophy is

also called linguistic philosophy means the
common experience and ordinary language to
analyse concepts and language in philosophy.
 EXAMPLE
The Star Trek’s Mr. Spock. Gene Roddenberry, the
creator of the original show was famous for his
intense interest in philosophy and religion and he
was probably aware of the developments in
analytic philosophy during the 1960’s when Star
Treck was first made.
 LOGIC
•Logic is also one of the major
branches of philosophy which
increases one's ability to reason
correctly and disting vish irrational
reasoning.
•For you to make use of logic a tool in
understanding complex proposition
presented in statements or texts, you
may use two types of reasoning:

~DEDUCTIVE
~INDUCTIVE
DEDUCTIVE •There are usually complex
thoughts we encounter, and it
takes a hard time to understand
what is expressed in it.

•But with the help of deductive

reasoning we can chunk the
entire thought into smaller units
to arrive at a simpler
presentation.
 EXAMPLE

PREMISES: All teachers are smart people.

Some smart people are studious.

CONCLUSION: Some smart people

are teachers.
PREMISES: All students are kind.
Pedro is a kind
CONCLUSION: Pedro in kind.
 •There are presentations of statements
INDUCTIVE or ideas wherein its specific details come
first before generalization are being laid.

•In this case, use bottom up approach in

trying to understand the concept "bottom
up" meaning that it takes specific
information and makes a broad
generalization that is conaidered
probable, allowing for the fact that the
conclusion may not be accurate.
 EXAMPLE
REMISES: Going to public places increases
high possibility to acquire COVID-19.
Rose goes to the market every day.
CONCLUSION: Therefore, Rose is COVID-19
infected

EXPLANATION: The probability of your

assumption may not necessarily
be true for Rose might follow the
proper protocol.
 CLOSING REMARKS
Logic allows you to think accordingly about anything making
your reasoning correct, and removing any possible bias that
influence your judgement.

Through this method of philosophizing you will be critically

capable of weighing what is probable and what is true.

when applied to life, this will allow good consequences and

benefits.
