Holistic Vs Partial Point of View
Background Information for Learners
The Heuristic theory of holistic perspective is about seeing and understanding.not only what
is out there in the material world. We are also be aware in what is happening inside ourselves and
others - in our minds and bodies and how this relates to all around us.
People tend to apply an analytic perspective when looking at problems or situations. For
instance, doctors often focus on a specific set of symptoms to determine the cause of a patient’s
illness. Once a particular cause has been identified, the doctor then prescribes the appropriate
medicine and other treatments to address the illness. In the case of a person who experiences a
stomach ache, a doctor may prescribe the appropriate medicine that will address the physical cause of
the problem.
A holistic perspective however requires the doctor to look at the “big picture” and view the
patient’s illness as an aspect of his or her lifestyle and personal circumstances. When using this
perspective, a doctor may be able to identify other underlying causes of the illness. The doctor can
interview the patient and get an idea of his or her habits and lifestyle may lead to discovery that
fatigue and stress may be the factors that cause the illness. Knowing this the doctor can advise the
patient to make changes in his or her habits to reduce stress and eventually improve his or her well-
being.
Holistic perspective suggests that we can only understand the parts when we view them in
relation to the whole while partial perspective suggests that we only understand one component part
of the whole.

Holism comes from the Greek word "holos" which literally means all, entire, totality. Holism
is a school of thought that maintains the interdependence of factors to another agencies of causalities.
Holistic perspective is a kind of system that aims to determine and explain the whole or totality
of a given system by examining the behaviors and activities of certain component parts while in
philosophy, a point of view is defined as a way or a method how one sees or perceives the reality
or a phenomenon.
A partial point of view is a perspective that looks at reality based on a single or partial
component of a system whereas the holistic perspective tries to broaden the understanding of
reality by taking considerations of other possible causal agents or factors be it biological, theological
or any other factors that may contribute in understanding a certain phenomenon. Holism is widely
used in research as one of the many research methods. Often, holism is used in anthropology
wherein an anthropologist can begin to see interrelationship or correlation of different components of
a culture.
For example, when one researcher conducts an inquiry on the reason why Filipinos celebrate
fiesta based on the religious aspect of it, the point of view is partial since it only considered one
causal factor and did not include other possible factors like sociological, political and historical.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF
THE HUMAN PERSON
Section: Date:
LEARNING ACTVITY SHEET
Value of Doing Philosophy
Background Information
Philosophy is generally defined as love of wisdom or the knowledge of things in

general by their ultimate causes, so for as reason attain to such knowledge. It is a comprehensive and
critical study and analysis of experience. Whether it is consciously, deliberately and rationally
adopted on conviction or consciously or unconsciously followed in life through faith or persuasion,
every man constructs for himself a fundamental philosophy as the basis of life, a theory of the
relation to the world and the individual, and this shapes his whole attitude to life. Study and Learn
Doing Philosophy can be applied in day-to-day activities and life perspectives, because it
involves evaluative process. Doing philosophy allows a person to make better decisions and act
accordingly to situations with the help of various philosophical skills.
Philosophy as a body of knowledge provides methodologies and insights on how societal
questions, such as moral dilemmas of euthanasia or same-sex marriage, can be answered.
The process of doing philosophy should NOT be mistaken for the Filipino activity of
PAMIMILOSOPO or pedantry where a person displays useless knowledge or minute observance of
small details.
Four reasons why philosophy is as relevant as ever.
1. Philosophy is the foundation of critical thinking.
 It brings the important questions to the table and work towards an answer. It encourages us to
think critically about the world. It is the foundation of all knowledge and when utilized properly
can provide us with huge benefits.
2. Science cannot answer every question.
 Science helps us live longer, whereas philosophy helps us live better. It is striving towards
figuring out what is true and worthwhile, and what it means to live a meaningful and worthwhile
life.

3. Philosophy has meaning in the business world.
 It explains that anyone who wants to succeed in a challenging, leading position in business,
public administration, politics, or the wider society needs a crucial set of skills. Examples: check
the consistency and soundness of policy paper, decide which problems are crucial and identify
issues that are still misunderstood.
4. Ancient philosophers continue to influence humanity.
 Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle laid the foundations of Western culture, and their
ideas and insights still dictate essential features of our world from what we eat to what we see on
the internet. Confucius on the other hand had influenced China’s modern government.

Song/Artist Question/Lines
1. Noypi by “Hoy Pinoy ako! Buo We Filipinos are known to be resilient. Even
BAMBOO aking loob, May agimat in times of strong calamity and in this time of
ang dugo ko” pandemic we never fail to show the world
that we remain to have positive outlook in
life. Not even COVID-
19 can take the Bayanihan spirit and
unwavering faith of Filipinos.

2. Sound of “No one dared disturbed In this time of pandemic, the world is
Silence by the sound of silence” completely in silence. Streets are empty,
SIMON & people are confined at home and traveling
GARFUNKEL becomes the last thing in our minds. We
listen to silent screams of our front liners
and to all the victims of COVID-19. In a
split of a second the world adapts to the
new normal and no one dared to question
it for this is what we need. We need to
shut our world from the busy lifestyle that
we used to have. We refrain from
complaining and instead comply, for us to
heal as one.
3. Vincent by “They would not listen; We are living in a permissive society where
DON they’re not listening still. everyone can post and share how they are
MCLEA Perhaps they never will” feeling but it leads us also to a point where
N insensitivity to others prevails instead of kind
words. People bash and trolls threat one
another. Endless harsh comments are thrown
in different social media platforms. We failed
to listen to one another. We failed to
empathize, and we just want to be heard
without realizing that we too need to listen.

THE HUMAN PERSON
Section: Date:
A Philosophical Reflection
Have you realized of what you want in life? Have you ever found yourself wondering
about the things you experienced or where your life is headed? As we grow older, our questions
are influenced by our experiences and circumstances and we call that philosophical reflection
that we define it as the process by which a person undergoes a reflective state or evaluates his or
her experiences first before making any related action. The use of philosophical reflection is
important as it enables thought to be investigated using a deeper, holistic perspective. In effect,
actions are directed towards greater sources of wisdom and truth.
A big part of living is spent pondering many questions, and our lives become more
meaningful because we search for answers to these innumerable questions. This is the essence of
philosophy-the search for answers to life’s questions.
Human Activities Emanated from Deliberate Reflection
1. Learning from your previous mistakes and not repeating them again.
2. Evaluating and knowing the best choice from a set of options.
3. Gaining a holistic point of view first before making any conclusion.
4. Gather more information before arriving into a final judgment.
5. Eliminate all negative choices before deciding something.

Opinion from Truth
Today, we encounter a lot of information from various sources such as the media and
our interactions with friends, family, and members of the community. Most of them is
helpful, but some may mislead or may even be utterly false. How can we distinguish
opinion from truth?
Most of the time there are statements presented to you in readings or perhaps in
speaking engagements. You are asked to listen that based on facts and opinions. Reading
materials or speeches tend to have interwoven statements as either fact or opinion wherein your
critical skill is called to sort which is true from those set of beliefs or ideas.
However, there are philosophical grounds to which fact and opinion should be
critically analyzed. Take for example John Corvino’s Three Distinction of opinion and truth:
1. Belief and Reality Distinction
Reality is unarguably seen and felt by the human senses. Whereas, belief is a by-product
or a manifestation of any reality.
For example: Your reality right now is your being a student enrolled in a certain
curriculum. There can be several beliefs system that can thrive out from that reality: Finishing
academic year with either outstanding grades or just passing remarks. Graduating with
honors or graduating simply as an ordinary graduate.
2. Subjective and Objective Distinction
Perspective is what makes fact as possibly an opinion or opinion as potentially a fact. This
can vary according to one’s experience and position making judgment as either subjective or
objective. What makes your viewpoint subjective is when you rely so much on your perception
as dictated by your mind. And when something appears to you objectively that means there are
reasons outside of the mind that make the thing true.
Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times.

A. Descriptive and Normative Distinction (shuttlestock.com)
How any experience is labelled depends on their representations from the world.
There is such a thing we call Descriptive statements which simply narrates what
happens, while there are the Normative statements which evaluate the events
according to the perspective of people, a certain culture and law.
For example, in a certain class the teacher observes cheating to be rampant
which is basically a wrong doing (Descriptive), but, with the group of students doing
the act they might reason out that the act is for their greater good(Normative).

Distinguishing between fact and opinion needs consideration on basically important

reminders as each has distinct characteristic respectively.
Fact Opinion
A fact is a statement that can be proven true. An opinion expresses someone’s belief,
feeling, view, idea, or judgment about
something or someone
Statements that can be verified. Statements that express a writer’s
feelings, attitudes, or beliefs.
They can be proven true or false They are neither true nor false

writer thinks or believes about the topic.
A fact generally refers to something that is An opinion refers to a personal belief. It

true and can be verified as such. relates to how someone feels about
something. Others may agree or disagree
with an opinion, but they cannot prove or
disprove it. This is what defines it as
opinion.
Facts speak for their own truth. Opinion may use descriptive language to
appeal to your emotions and sway your
thinking.
Questions to Identify Facts: Words to Identify Opinions:
1. Can the statement be proven or 1. Biased Words (bad, worse, worst,
demonstrated to be true? good, better, best, worthwhile,
2. Can the statement be observed in worthless, etc.)
practice or operation? Can you see it 2. Qualifiers (all, always, likely, never,

3. Can the statement be verified by should, etc.)
witnesses, manuscripts, or documents?
Signal words to convey facts. Confirms Signal words to convey opinion. Claimed

1. How does opinion differ from fact?
2. What are the qualifying words to identify opinions from truth?
3. What are the signal words that convey facts from opinion?
4. How to prove whether it is a truth or opinion?
Activity 3: Fact or Opinion ?
Direction: Underline the factual statement and encircle the opinionated statement in
the found essay about Global warming (please refer to references)
Global Warming is a term almost everyone is familiar with. But its meaning
is still not clear to most of us. So, Global warming refers to the gradual rise in
the overall temperature of the atmosphere of the Earth. There are various
activities taking place which have been increasing the temperature gradually.
Global warming is melting our ice glaciers rapidly. This is extremely harmful to
the earth as well as humans. It is quite challenging to control global warming;
however, it is not unmanageable. The first step in solving any problem is
identifying the cause of the problem. Therefore, we need to first understand the
causes of global warming that will help us proceed further in solving it. In this
essay on Global Warming, we will see the causes and solutions of Global
Warming.

INTRODUCTION TO THE
PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN PERSON
Date:
LEARNING ACTIVITY
SHEET
Methods of Philosophy
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. There are four different methods of philosophizing namely, logic,
existentialism, analytic tradition, and phenomenology.
1. Logic in simple words, is the art and science of correct thinking.

“The study of truths based completely on the meanings of the terms they contain.”
 The foundation of a logical argument is its proposition, or statement.
 The proposition is either accurate (true) or not accurate (false).
 Premises are the propositions used to build the argument.
 The argument is then built on premises.
 Then an inference is made from the premises.
 Finally, a conclusion is drawn.
1. Existentialism is a philosophical view that assert the individuality of any human

person making him free to make choices of what he is and what he can become. This
means that you students are unique and would most likely have a future that is true to
your own person and not what is being dictated by your parent nor your friends. At
what Jean-Paul Sartre says, “Freedom is the identity of man.”
Existentialism teaches one enjoy freedom but with due responsibility on what is
wrong and is right. Through this method, you can discover more sets of truth without
any limitations. As a man who has freedom you must put to mind that you are
accountable of your choices and decision in life.
2. Analytic Philosophy states that, “assumption of truth only becomes true after it
shall have gone through validation, experimentation or any scientific approach for that
matter.
31
In school setting for example, there are questions teachers ask that may elicit different
responses, but there is only one definite correct answer and this answer is usually supported
by a concept or a theory which is a product of scientific process. Analytic Philosophy teaches
you that it’s not how you see things and how you perceive them, but how they are processed
through rigorous and valid methods. Hence, exact truth is seen in the lens of due scientific
process. In life, you must remember that truth is accompanied with process.
3. Phenomenology brings varied perceptions over a thing to a common end that
certain things no matter how different the perspective of people towards it due to their
experiences would receive justification to its being.
For example, in this image you may look at it as half full, some look
at it as half empty. This thing may appear in different perspectives. In applying
phenomenology, one must go back to its original meaning or “thing-in- it-self”
(according to Encyclopedia) that is simply a glass of water.
Things may appear to you in different ways. Yet, what is important is to see its
essence. This phenomenological way brings you to the essence of anything. Hence,
also see the importance of the things that you encounter for there is always essential
meaning why things exist.
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:
A. Deductive Reasoning
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.
Examples
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 student. Conclusion: Pedro
is kind.
B. Inductive Logic
Inductive reasoning - there are presentations of statements or ideas wherein its
specific details come first before generalizations 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

32
considered probable, allowing for the fact that the conclusion may not be accurate.
Examples
Premises: Peru is a drunkard. Lucky is one of the brothers of Peru.
Conclusion: In this case, you could use inductive reasoning to offer an opinion that it
was probably Lucky, and his other brothers are also drunkard.
Explanation: The probability of your assumption may not necessarily be true for
lucky and his other brothers might have different priority in terms of drinking liquor.
Premises: 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.
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.

2.3.Realize that the methods of philosophy lead to wisdom and truth (Week 2,
Quarter1) PPT11/12-Id-2.3

manner. And Wisdom is the application of knowledge.
3. Deductive reasoning is a presentation of statements or ideas wherein its

specific details come first before generalizations are being laid. And Inductive
reasoning are usually complex thoughts we encounter, and it takes a hard time to

Activity 4
Varied answers
Possible answer
Hunger is a prevalent situation in the Philippines at this present time. This is
the effect of lockdowns, wherein works have become limited; so, resources as well,
became scarce to most families. As a result, the socio- economic development of the
country eventually slowed down. However, if I were to look at our situation, in a
philosophical perspective, there are still ways and means by which we could ease
hunger among our communities; thus, there are valuable learnings and wisdom one
can take from this pressing issue of the country.
At first, I will look at opportunities to which joblessness can be transformed

into productive labor at home or anywhere near my community. Let’s say for
example, the local government units have started distributing seeds among households
to maintain backyard gardens. This is practically a viable means in which I can ease
myself and my family from hunger. There is always a way out if we look at situations
using our heads and hands working together us one. To get depressed won’t help in
any way. It will worsen the situation.
Second, I should check on how far my creativity can bring me. With the new
normal state of life, there have been a lot of opportunities where I can atleast think of
a way in which I can craft something for sale. Face masks have become one of the
basic necessities in today’s new normal. I can learn how to sew and make some for
commercialization. I need not buy cloth anyway since there have been unused clothes
of good conditions I can make use of. I just need to make them look marketable. That,
when it brings profit, would give us money to buy food in return.
Third, the social media, especially Facebook, has also become a marketplace
for online sellers, whatever the products they are selling. I can cook snacks or any
food, at low capital cost to which I could sell at an affordable price. I can also get
some wholesale items and sell them on a retail price.
There are indeed many ways to dress a chicken; same as there are many ways to
get out of hunger. It’s just a matter of finding the silver lining from the situation.
If a gastronomic Filipino feels hungry, that it the start to which philosophy must

Truth from Opinions
There is a classic joke or conversation in an unknown logic class of an

atheist teacher. Atheist is a person who rejects or does not believe in God.
Teacher: Juan, do you believe in God?
Juan: Yes Sir.
Teacher: Juan, have you seen God?
Juan: Not yet Sir?
Teacher: Juan, to see, is to believe. If you have not seen God,
therefore, there is no God. (nobody is speaking in class then after a
while)
Juan: May I ask you Sir?
Teacher: Yes Juan.
Juan: Have you seen your brain Sir?
Teacher: No?
Juan: Classmates, let’s go home, our teacher do not have brain.
If you laugh, maybe you find it as a joke. But if you try to answer the
questions “is Juan right in his judgment about his teacher?” than you may find
another emotional response. Studying the arguments may bring twist to the story
from a joke to conversation that carries lesson depending in your method of
philosophizing.
Remember, methods of philosophy differ from the methods of
philosophizing. Methods of philosophy is a systematic way that helps in
learning the process of doing philosophy while methods of philosophizing is to
think or express of oneself in a philosophical manner. As human, discerning truth
and opinion helps us see things more purposeful in our daily life.
This Learning Activity Sheet will guide you in evaluating truth from opinion in
the different situation using the different methods of philosophizing that will
enable you to:
a) apply the Socratic Method of Philosophizing.
b) evaluate fallacies in the arguments.
c) determine biases; and
d) evaluate opinion.

and has a flat
surface.”
4 – Repeat the process Truth: “A table is Truth:
by looking into its a four-legged
“essence” or “purpose”. furniture, made
up of wood, and

putting
things on it.”
Activity 2 – Is Juan right?

Direction: In the story, “Is Juan right of his judgment about his teacher”?
Teacher: Juan, do you believe in God?

Juan: Yes Sir.
Teacher: Juan, have you seen God?
Juan: Not yet Sir?
Teacher: Juan, to see, is to believe. If you have not seen God, therefore
there is no God. (nobody is speaking in class then after a while)
Juan: May I ask you Sir?
Teacher: Yes Juan.
Juan: Have you seen your brain Sir?
Teacher: No?
Juan: Classmates, let’s go home, our teacher do not have brain.

The Philippines’ Pandemic Response: A Tragedy of Errors

By Michael Beltran
May 12, 2020
The Duterte administration’s COVID-19 response marries incompetence with

militarism.
The Philippine government has been boasting that as early as March 16, they had the
gumption to implement a lockdown in major cities and provinces in response to the unfolding
COVID-19 pandemic. However, Manila’s overall response to the pandemic has been fraught
with incompetence and rife with terror. …
The whole world is looking forward to a return to some semblance of normalcy. But
what makes the Philippine government one of the worst examples of handling the pandemic is
its incompetence married with militarism threaded throughout its responses. The backlash
facing Filipinos now and after the quarantine is quite a distressing picture. It is a bleak one
marred by a totalitarian streak and the people’s increased realization that the state is more
intent on filling jails and the pockets of Chinese businesses than starving stomachs.
Michael Beltran is a freelance journalist from the Philippines.

INTRODUCTION TO THE
PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN
PERSON
Grade Level: Score:
The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit

“There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.” as cited by Napoleon
Hill.
We, the human persons, are the highest form of animals created by God with intellect and
free will. But our knowledge, abilities, skills, talents, and capabilities have its own limitations
because we are only humans. In the succeeding activities, we are going to evaluate our
limitations for us to be aware of it and know what to do and not to do.
Transcendent means beyond the limits of possible experience. In Kantianism, it is beyond
human knowledge (Wikipedia). According to Mike Colagrossi, transcendence refers to the very
highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as
ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to human beings in general, to other
species, to nature, and to the cosmos.”
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

By Saul McLeod, updated March 20, 2020
54
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-
tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to
needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are physiological,
safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
Evaluate own limitations and the possibilities for their transcendence
