Sensitivity Check
Ako ay ako
…kaya kong itapon o wasakin ang hindi akma
at panatilihin ang mga naakma
At lumikha o kumatha ng mga bago, kapalit ng mga itinapon o winasak.
Ako ay nakakikita, nakaririnig, nakadarama, nakaiisip, nakapagsasalita at
nakagagawa.
Ako ay may kakayahan upang mabuhay at maging malapit sa kapwa.
Maging kapaki-pakinabang at makaimpluwensiya sa mga tao at mga bagay.
Ako ang nagmamay-ari sa akin, samakatuwid kaya kong pamahalaan ang
aking sarili,
Ako ay ako, at ako ay okay.

THE HUMAN PERSON AS AN EMBODIED SPIRIT
Introduction: Transcendence in the Global Age

Edmund Husserl founded Phenomenology, which is


essentially a philosophical method. This focuses on
careful inspection and description of phenomena or
appearances, defined as any object of conscious
experience, that is, that which we are conscious of.

METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING
D. Analytic Tradition

For Ludwig Wittgenstein, an analytic philosopher,


language is socially conditioned. We understand the
world solely in terms of our language games-that is, our
linguistic, social constructs. Truth, as we perceive it, is
itself socially constructed.

METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING
E. Logic and Critical Thinking: Tools in Reasoning

Logic is centered in the analysis and construction of


arguments. In general, there are two basic types of
reasoning: deductive and inductive

METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING
E. Logic and Critical Thinking: Tools in Reasoning

Inductive reasoning- based from observations in order to


make generalizations.

METHODS OF PHILOSOPHIZING
E. Logic and Critical Thinking: Tools in Reasoning
Validity and Soundness of an Argument
Based on the previous example (or syllogism), if the two
premises are constructed logically, then the conclusion
must follow logically, the deductive argument is valid.
This does not necessarily mean that the conclusion is
true or false.
All philosophers are wise (Major premise)
Confucius is a philosopher (Minor Premise)
Therefore, Confucius is wise (Conclusion)
