    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.

    Cultural Perspectives on Philosophy

    • Chinese view (Zhe-Xue): Wisdom study; signifies the unity of words and actions.
    • Hindu view (Darsana): Seeing reality wholly; emphasizes objective observation and removal of biases.

    Branches of Philosophy

    • Theoretical Philosophy includes:

      • Metaphysics: Study of reality and existence.
      • Ontology: Study of being as a concept.
      • Cosmology: Study of the universe and its properties like time and space.
      • Epistemology: Validity of knowledge and how we know what we know.
      • Theodicy: Study of God, existence of evil, and the relationship between God and humanity.

    • Practical Philosophy includes:

      • Logic: Science of correct reasoning and thinking.
      • Ethics: Morality of human conduct and how life should be lived.
      • Aesthetics: Nature of art and beauty; what constitutes beauty in works of art.
