Martin Heidegger, (born September 26, 1889, Messkirch, Schwarzwald, Germany—died May 26, 1976, Messkirch, West Germany), German philosopher, counted among the main exponents of existentialism. His groundbreaking work in ontology (the philosophical study of being, or existence) and metaphysics determined the course of 20th-century philosophy on the European continent and exerted an enormous influence on virtually every other humanistic discipline, including literary criticism, hermeneutics, psychology, and theology. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Heidegger-German-philosopher was ist das-die Philosophie? what is PHILOSOPHY? matrtin heidegger "With this question we are touching on a theme which is very broad, that is widespread, it is indefinite."

The aim of our question is to enter into Then we are speaking about philosophy, to tarry in it, to conduct "Philosophy." By asking this way we are ourselves in its manner, that is, to obviously asking in the way we are "philosophize." Our inquiry to discover obviously taking a stand above and what philosophy is should guarantee therefore, outside of philosophy. us that we are moving within philosophy and not outside of it and around it. Origin of PHILOSOPHY How to travel the path of philosophy? Listen to the word "Philosophy" in Greek using Greek ear. what is philosophy? Philosophy ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΊΑ The Greek word philosophia goes back to the word philosophos. It is presumably coined by Heraclitus. This Heraclitus (born c. 540 BCE, Ephesus, Anatolia indicates that for Him [now Selçuk, Turkey]—died c. 480), philosophia did not yet exist. “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” Philosophy ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΊΑ An aner philosophos is not a "philosophical" man. An aner philosophos is hos philei to sophon, he who loves the sophon; Philosophy ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΊΑ This correspondence is in accord with the sophon. Accordance is harmonia. That one being reciprocally unites itself with another, that both are originally united to each other because they are at each other's disposal- this harmonia is distinctive feature of philein, "of loving" in the Heraclitean sense. The aner philosophos, loves the sophon (wisdom). Etymology of PHILOSOPHY Philos or Philia - Love Sophia - Wisdom Love of wisdom Philosophy ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΊΑ Perhaps, on Heidegger's path we will never reach a genuine, that is legitimate answer to the question, "What is philosophy?"

Ferriols, S.J. (full name: Roque Angel Jamias Ferriols) | Roque Ferriols, S.J. has left his mark on several generations of philosophy students from the Ateneo de Manila University. Fondly known as "Padre Roque" to later generations of students, Ferriols can be credited with almost single- handedly promoting the teaching of philosophy in Filipino. More important and more lasting, however, is his determination to impart the necessity of pagmumuni- muni--of genuine thinking on one's situation, to his students.. Philosophy of Man : Selected Readings pg. 1 The Philosophical Act WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PHILOSOPHIZE? "We shall not begin with a definition of philosophy," says Fr. Ferriols SJ, in his essay "Insight." Like all activities, philosophizing is something which is easier to do than to define." Philosophy of Man : Selected Readings pg. 1 The PHILOSOPHICAL ACT Fr. Ferriols, introduces us to the act of philosophizing by discussing insight as seeing with the mind and the many ways of doing something with the insight. When is an insight philosophical?

(Ethics) and to other questions, such as "What does it mean to know?" socrates ANG BUHAY NA HINDI SINALASIKSIK AY HINDI BUHAY TAO. "An unexamined life is not worth living." Manuel Dy PHILOSOPHY AND THE JUST MAN Manuel Dy, says that philosophizing is also related to justice. Justice requires philosophy, for if justice means giving to the other what is due to him, it requires a reflection that is critical, holistic, and committed--which philosophy is. Ang pilosopiya ay nangangailangan ng katarungan, dahil ang katotohanan bilang halaga ay hinihingi ng pilosopo bilang isang patotoo, isang buhay na ginagabayan ng katotohanan. The Philosophical Act WHEN DO WE PHILOSOPHIZE?
