Western Philosophy is the philosophical tradition of the Western world and dates to Pre-Socratic
thinkers who were active and it really began in Ancient Greece in about the 6th Century BCE such as
Thales (c. 624–546 BCE) and Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BCE) who practiced a "love of wisdom"
(philosophia) and were also termed physiologoi (students of physis, or nature). Thales of Miletus is
usually considered the first proper philosopher, although he was just as concerned with natural
philosophy (what we now call science) as with philosophy as we know it.
Philosophy really took off, though, with Socrates and Plato in the 5th - 4th Century B.C. (often
referred to as the Classical or Socratic period of philosophy).Unlike most of the Pre-Socratic
philosophers before him, Socrates was more concerned with how people should behave, and so was
perhaps the first major philosopher of Ethics. He developed a system of critical reasoning in order to
work out how to live properly and to tell the difference between right and wrong.
Philosophy is the search for knowledge. It is the only way to truly gain knowledge about the world
around you in the sense that it opens your eyes and mind too, many different ideas that cannot be
proven nor disproven, that what philosophy is. You can believe what you want and as long as you can
back it up and believe in it, and maybe get someone else to go along with it you have created your own
philosophy. Knowledge is not learned it is found.
"Madaling maging tao, mahirap magpakatao." May dalawang bahagi ang kasabihang ito ang
“madaling maging tao" ay sumasagot sa pagka-ano ng tao at ang ikalawa naman ay ang pagka-sino
ng tao. Ang unang bahaging "madaling maging tao" ay tumutukoy sa pagka-ano ng tao. Ang tao ay
may isip, kios-loob, may kalayaan at dignidad. Ang ikalawang bahagi naman ang "mahirap
magpakatao" ay tumutukoy sa persona (person) ng tao. Ang tao ay binubuo ng mga katangiang
nagpapa bukod tangi sa kanya. Sa kaniyang pag iisip, pagpapasiya, at pagkilos ay nagiging bukod
tangi ang isang tao. Halimbawa nalang ay madali maging tao dahil sa simula pa lamang ay tao na
talaga tayo simula ng tayo ay ipinanganak. Mahirap magpakatao dahil karamihan sa panahon natin
ngayon ay asal hayop o di mabubuting kaugalian na tinataglay ng mga tao.
Philosophy give you more than just knowledge of the world. They give you a deep understanding
of how the world works, even how it should work and it makes me a better thinker and a better person.
It’s not just to help improve critical thinking skills, but it can help provide us with knowledge of logic that
can greatly help improve critical thinking.
