Study Notes
Introduction to Philosophy of the Human Person
- Philosophy is often understood differently across cultures; in Filipino context, "pilosopo" can imply illogical thinking.
- There's no universal definition of philosophy; some argue it can't be defined since it embodies a way of life.
- Philosophy can be defined nominally (name-focused) and really (essence-focused).
Definition of Philosophy
- The term comes from the Greek words "philos" (love) and "sophia" (wisdom); thus, philosophy translates to "love of wisdom."
- Philosophy is a science that investigates ultimate causes, reasons, and principles of existence through human reason alone.
- It is comprehensive, covering spiritual, mental, and material beings.
- Philosophy seeks ultimate truth and is regarded as a universal science.
Philosophical Principles
- Principle of Identity: A thing is what it is.
- Principle of Non-Contradiction: No thing can be both true and false at the same time.
- Principle of Excluded Middle: A thing either exists or does not; no middle ground.
- Principle of Sufficient Reason: Everything exists for a reason.
Faith and Reason
- Philosophy operates independently of faith; both aim for truth and can coexist without conflict.
