Philosophy and Its Branches
- Philosophy investigates fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and morality.
- Major branches include Metaphysics (nature of reality and existence), Ethics (moral principles and values), Epistemology (theory of knowledge), Logic (correct reasoning).
- Holism emphasizes the interdependence of all things rather than isolated study.
Scientific Approach vs. Natural Light of Reason
- The scientific approach relies on empirical evidence and observation, while natural reason emphasizes intuition and personal experience.
- The study of all things seeks to encompass all knowledge compared to the scientific approach's focus on empirical methods.
Principles in Logic and Philosophy
- The Principle of Sufficient Reason relates closely to Metaphysics; it states everything must have a reason or cause.
- The Principle of Non-Contradiction and the Principle of Excluded Middle are fundamental in defining truth and falsity, underscoring logical reasoning.
Applied Philosophy
- Ethical dilemmas reflect the practical application of philosophy:
- Data privacy issues relate to Ethics.
- The nature of time pertains to Metaphysics.
Ethical Dilemma Analysis
