- Continuous questioning leads to deeper understanding.
- Stopping questioning signifies the end of philosophical inquiry.
- Everyday struggles necessitate philosophical questioning.
- The Socratic Method, also known as dialectics, elenchus, or Socratic debate, is a cooperative argumentative dialogue.

Logical Reasoning
- Philosophy involves reasoning, which is the process of thinking logically to form conclusions or judgments.
- Reasoning is essential for philosophical engagement, but it's not the sole aspect of philosophy.
- All branches of philosophy use reasoning in their arguments (e.g., ethics, theology).
- Ethical concepts (right and wrong) are argued using human reason alone, distinguishing them from theological principles (dependent on religious texts).
Deductive Reasoning
- One type of logical reasoning is deductive reasoning.
- Deductive reasoning involves using general statements (premises) to deduce specific conclusions.
- Example: All humans are mortal, the President of the Philippines is a human, therefore the President of the Philippines is mortal.

- Example: Observing multiple students wearing school ID, one can induce that all students wear school ID.
