Study Notes
Ancient Philosophy
- Philosophy originated in Mesopotamia prior to The Epic of Gilgamesh, dated between c. 2150-1400 BCE.
- In India, the Vedic Period saw the development of philosophy with the Upanishads from c. 1500 - c. 500 BCE.
- Zoroaster, active around c. 1500-1000 BCE, formulated his philosophical ideas in ancient Persia.
- Chinese philosophy began to be documented during the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE) and evolved during the Spring and Autumn (c. 772-476 BCE) and Warring States Periods (c. 481-221 BCE).
Western Philosophy
- Western philosophy began in ancient Greece, particularly in the city of Miletus, where Thales lived (624-546 BCE).
- Thales is known as the "Father of Philosophy" in Western thought, driven by the quest to understand the fundamental substance underlying all things.
- He proposed the concept of "One in the Many," suggesting a singular underlying essence in diverse phenomena, distancing from traditional polytheistic explanations.
- Thales' natural explanations marked a shift from religious to rational thought, emphasizing reason over faith.
Eastern Philosophy
- Eastern thought emphasizes control over emotions through meditation, allowing separation of mind from feelings, as illustrated by Taoist practices.
- Leadership philosophies differ: Eastern leaders, like Lao Tzu, suggest guiding from behind, while Western leaders, such as Xenophon, advocate for leading from the front.
Filipino Philosophy
- Filipino thought encompasses concepts of "loob," highlighting a holistic view of self in community relationships, valuing traits like kagandahang-loob and pakikisama.
- The belief in "gulong ng palad" signifies acceptance of life's unpredictability, viewing experiences as cyclical.
- The "bahala na" philosophy embodies trust in Divine Providence, encouraging risk-taking but also reflecting a sense of fatalism.
Reflection in Philosophy
- Reflection is vital for examining thoughts, feelings, and actions, fostering personal growth and understanding the significance of experiences.
- It encourages a departure from solely rational thinking to include emotional and existential evaluations.
Argument Types in Philosophy
- Argumentum ad Misericordiam (Appeal to Pity) involves leveraging emotional narratives to evoke sympathy, often seen in fundraising and personal pleas.
- Argumentum ad Populum (Argument to the People) relies on popular sentiment to affirm claims, like the popularity of extended warranties not equating to their effectiveness.
- Appeals to tradition suggest that longstanding practices are virtuous, irrespective of their relevance today.
Societal Structures
- Agrarian societies evolved from pastoral and horticultural roots, emphasizing large-scale farming, technological advancements, and significant population growth.
- A structured social system developed in agricultural societies to manage resources effectively, though it often led to territorial conflicts.
- Feudal societies arose in Medieval Western Europe, characterized by land ownership, hierarchy, dependence between social classes, and reciprocal relationships between lords and vassals.
Tasks and Activities
- Performance Task involves a comparison of Western, Eastern, and Filipino philosophical characteristics, utilizing a Venn diagram format.
- A second performance task requires a position paper on the DepEd school calendar's timeline.
Important Notions
