Element Learning Activities
Introduction: In a few years, you will gain new experiences in life that you may
have never dreamed of. Such experiences may excite or challenge
you, while some can make you rethink your life and decisions. At
your age, you may have already asked yourself important questions
about your life that cannot be directly answered through research or
education, such as “What do I want?” or “What will make me happy?
If you have already asked yourself those big questions, then you
have already engaged in philosophy.
Learning
Objectives: The learner is expected to:
a. Distinguish a holistic perspective from a partial point of view.
b. Recognize human activities that emanated from deliberate
reflection.
c. Realize the value of Doing philosophy in obtaining a broad
perspective in life.
d. Experience a philosophical reflection on a concrete situation
from holistic perspective.
Lesson
Proper: Holistic and Partial Point of View
Before engaging in philosophical inquiry, one must be able to
distinguish between a holistic and partial point of view. This is critical
for anyone doing philosophy because it sets a limit in coming up with
Review: conclusions about a given situation
This means that having a holistic view is having a view where we
understand both the whole and the parts of something, and, we
understand how the parts, when brought together, make up the
whole. Partial point on the other hand is the way he sees reality or
certain phenomenon is based on a single factor or causal agency. A
partial point of view then is a perspective that is based on one of the
component parts of a whole.
Discussion Direction: Think as if the person is you. Honestly from the heart,
of Activity 1: answer the following questions.
1. What do I want in my life?
Meaning of Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems,
such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values,
reason, mind, and language.
Philosophy is the rational attempt to formulate, understand, and
answer fundamental questions.
Branches of Philosophy
Logic = is the systematic study of the rules for the correct use of
these supporting reasons, rules we can use to distinguish good
arguments from bad ones.
Metaphysics = the comprehensive thinking about the nature of
things. It is concerned with such problems as the relation of mind
to matter, the nature of change, the meaning of “freedom,” the
existence of God, and the belief in personal immortality.
Epistemology = studies the sources, nature, and validity of
knowledge.
Value theory = It examines how, why, and to what degree
humans value things and whether the object or subject of valuing
is a person, idea, object, or anything else. It can be subdivided
into ethics, aesthetics, and social and political philosophy
Importance of Doing Philosophy
Doing philosophy can be applied in day-to-day activities and
life perspectives. Because it involves an evaluative process,
doing philosophy allows a person to make better decisions
and act accordingly to situations with the help of various
philosophical skills.
Studying philosophy sharpens your analytical abilities,
enabling you to identify and evaluate the strengths and
weaknesses in any position.
Philosophy enables reflective thinking which greatly influences
a person’s view of life, challenges, and relationships. Doing
philosophy directs how a person will perceive these factors in
life and how they will be faced. In any setting, wisdom is
always gained when philosophy is applied to formulate a
conclusion about a certain concern.
Because philosophy is an activity as much a body of
knowledge, it also develops your ability to think and work
independently.
How we come to conclusions about these questions involves us in
thinking and involves us in philosophy.
