Discussion:
The word philosophy comes from two Greek words: philos (love) and
Sophia (wisdom). The ancient Greeks used this term to refer to “love of wisdom”
and they soon applied it to the study or discipline that uses human reason to
investigate the ultimate causes, reasons, and principles which govern all things.
People who engage in philosophy are called philosophers or “lovers of wisdom”.
Among the ancient Greeks, the philosophers became pioneers in various fields of
knowledge such as history, biology, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and even
physics. It was quite common to hear of ancient philosophers who were “experts”
in various fields of learning.
Why is there a need to philosophize?
The Greek philosopher Plato traced man’s need to philosophize to his sense of
wonder. Whenever we are confronted with an experience, we always wonder how
it came about. Man’s over bounding curiosity drives him to ask questions, some of
which have no definite answers. Where did we come from? Why do we exist? For
D. Discussing new concepts
what purpose were we created? Consider a small child’s curiosity about all the
and practicing new skill #2 things around him, most of which he encounters for the first time. This perspective
drives the need of a philosopher to question, examine, and learn more.
The 15th-century French philosopher Rene Descartes traced the need to
philosophize to doubt. Descartes was famous for rejecting or questioning
established ideas, and he even went as far as doubting his own ideas. His method
of examining ideas and perspectives became the basis of critical thinking and
analysis of sciences.
The 20th-century Swiss-German philosopher Karl Jaspers saw the need to
philosophize because of experience. Jaspers believed that man is often
confronted by the experiences which challenge his ideas and frameworks. Jaspers
called these experiences limit situations, and these are often accompanied by
feelings of helplessness, anxiety, or dread. For jaspers, philosophy provides us a
means to understand adverse or challenging conditions, and to rise above them
and gain new knowledge and perspectives.
Finally, the need to philosophize is driven by the love of wisdom. To love wisdom
is to have an insatiable desire for truth. A philosopher does not seek knowledge to
claim ownership of it, and one who engages in philosophy is not satisfied with
figuring out the answer to a question. He seeks to continue to question, to probe,
and to discuss in order to get the bottom of the things. The philosopher who
exemplified this perspective was Socrates. He gained fame for his curiosity and

his constant debates with many of the intellectual elite in Greece. Socrates was
famous for having said “ I know that I do not know…” and it is accepting this state
of ignorance that one can begin to learn and understand. By expanding our
knowledge through philosophy, we begin to realize that the learning is unceasing-
there is a lot more to learn and experience in life. Socrates is also recognized for
his motto: “the unexamined life is not worth living”. And nowhere is it more
appropriate to embark on philosophy than in an examination of our own life
Philosophy itself is a distinct area of knowledge with its own goals, concerns,
and ways of doing things. It is often divided into several branches each of which
deals with a particular aspect of phenomena.
Aesthetics-deals with beauty and what make things “beautiful”
Logic-is the branch of philosophy which deals with correct reasoning.
Epistemology-discusses the nature of knowledge and knowing.
Ethics-is the branch which deals with moral questions and dilemmas.
Metaphysics-is a branch of philosophy which deals with questions regarding
reality and existence.
Political philosophy-studies governments and deals with questions of justice,
power and rights and obligations of citizens.
Philosophy of the Human Person-is an area in philosophy that understands the
human person from a philosophical perspective-integrating and synthesizing the
different branches of philosophy and other fields of study to know the truth about
the human person. Holistic thinking refers to a perspective that considers large-
scale patterns in systems. This is often described as looking at the “bigger picture”
when describing and analyzing a situation or problem. A holistic perspective
requires an individual to have an open mindset and an ability to get the general
sense or impression regarding a situation. Partial thinking, on the other hand,
focuses on specific aspects of the situation. The partial view is an important
component of analytical thinking, as an individual focuses on certain areas or
aspects of a problem in order to understand it. Though partial thinking is useful,
philosophy utilizes holistic thinking in making sense of problems and issues related
to the human experience.
How does one engage in reflection?
Reflection requires a person to be willing to examine one’s thoughts,
feelings, and actions and to learn more about one’s life and experiences. One can
reflect on almost any subject. For instance, the moment you wake up you can
already reflect upon the things that you plan to do for the day. This will enable you
to set your daily goals and set you on the path of thinking ways to achieve them.
What are the practical uses of philosophy?
Philosophy has an important place in our daily lives. Engaging in
philosophical reflection leads to the development of beneficial skills that individuals
can apply in everyday situations.Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical
analysis and interpretation of concepts, definitions, arguments, and problems. It
also trains us to be critical of our own ideas as well as of others- meaning, we
don’t simply accept or reject whatever is presented to us. One can apply this
critical and analytical mindset in processing information gained from the media and
addressing certain issues encountered in life. Critical thinking skills help us avoid
being tricked by dales claims or manipulative schemes.
