1ST QUARTERLY REVIEWER Philosophy ### **Lesson 1: Branches of Philosophy** Philosophy covers a wide and ever-evolving range of topics to address our ever-changing world. Naturally, there is some fluidity in categorizing philosophical branches and the subcategories of these branches.

It acknowledges that modifications in one component can have an impact on the entire system. 3\. ***Contextual Understanding**:* It considers the greater context, which includes environmental, social, cultural, and historical elements. 4\. ***Systemic Approach**:* Ecology, healthcare, and organizational studies are some applications where comprehending the entire system is critical. 5\. ***Long-Term View**:* Instead, of focusing on immediate or short-term achievements, a holistic viewpoint frequently examines long-term consequences and sustainability. **Partial Point of View** 1\. ***Focused**:* A partial point of view is focused on particular characteristics or components of a system or situation. It gives a thorough discussion of these components. 2\. ***Isolated Analysis**:* This method may overlook or reduce the importance of interactions and relationships between various sections. 3\. ***Limited Context**:* It frequently examines the topic from a confined perspective, sometimes neglecting larger implications or repercussions. 4\. ***Reductionist Approach**:* Common in specialized areas or disciplines that need deep, focused knowledge on a certain issue, such as scientific research. 5\. ***Short-Term or Specific Goals**:* A partial point of view may focus quick outcomes or narrow aims without taking into account larger implications. II. 1. - - 2. - - Both approaches have their uses, depending on the context and the objectives of the analysis. A holistic perspective provides a broad, integrated understanding of a system which is very important in doing philosophy, while a partial point of view offers a detailed, focused analysis of specific elements within that system. **III.
