❖ Partial thinking focuses on specific aspects of a situation. The partial view is an important component of analytical
thinking, as an individual focuses on certain areas or aspects of a problem in order to understand it.
❖ The term "holistic thinking" refers to a big picture mentality in which a person recognizes the interconnectedness of
various elements that form larger systems, patterns and objects. Thinking holistically is the opposite of analyzing something,
which involves breaking down a larger system into its details. Holistic medicine is a prominent example of holistic thinking. A
medical professional who believes in holistic care considers the relationship between the mind, body and spirit. For
example, holistic doctors don't just provide patients with medications. Instead, they look at ways to improve life balance
and eradicate health problems from their root source, such as high stress or bad nutrition.

❖ In philosophy, point of view describes the perception of an event or phenomenon and how exactly it is viewed. Point of
view often is shaped by an individual's beliefs or experiences. Though partial thinking is useful, philosophy utilizes holistic
thinking in making sense of problems and issues related to the human experience.
❖ People tend to apply an analytical perspective when looking at problems or situations. A holistic view gives rise to a
more appreciative perspective about life, as we are able to look at life in its totality.
The following are the branches of philosophy that deals with a particular aspect of life or phenomena.
❖ Aesthetics is the branch of Philosophy which deals with beauty and what makes things “beautiful”.
❖ Logic is branch of philosophy which deals with correct reasoning.
❖ Epistemology discusses the nature of knowledge and knowing.
❖ Ethics is the branch which deals with moral questions and dilemmas.
❖ Political Philosophy studies governments and deals with questions of justice, power and the rights and obligations of
citizens.
❖ Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy which deals with questions regarding reality and existence.
❖ Philosophy of the Human Person-is an area in philosophy that understand the human person from a philosophical
perspective.
❖ Human self-reflection is the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and to attempt to learn more about their
fundamental nature and essence.
❖ Philosophy has an important place in our daily lives. Engaging in philosophical reflection leads to the development of
beneficial skills that individuals can apply in everyday situations.
❖ Reflection is vital in ensuring that our actions and decisions are well thought out and are done with due regard for their
implications and consequences on ourselves, others, and our surroundings.
❖ When we reflect, we can judge whether our actions or decisions are reasonable or not.
❖ Doing Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical analysis and interpretation of concepts, definitions, arguments,
and problems.
❖ Doing Philosophy also improves problem-solving and decision making. The ability to analyze a problem or dilemma,
identify the significant aspects, and come up with alternative solutions is an important skill learned through philosophy.
❖ In the process of doing philosophy, it is critical to have a holistic point of view-the perception of looking at all aspects of
a situation first before making a conclusion.
❖ Wisdom as it refers to a person’s ability to apply knowledge to daily life particularly in making sound choices and
judgment is the intended product of philosophizing.
