QUARTER 1 - WEEK 2 (SEPTEMBER 19-23, 2022)
LESSON 1: DOING A PHILOSOPHY (CONTINUATION)

Overview
“Unexamined life is not worth living” – Socrates
The statement above may give us a different meaning or impact depending on our perspective or
how we see life. Hence, it emphasized a strong message that for us to live a meaningful life, we must give
ourselves time to think reasonably and logically about our lives and how to live them. A person who wakes
up each day, travels to the office, returns at the end of the day's end, watches TV, goes to bed, and repeats
the process for his entire life is living a miserable life. Such a kind of life is not providing any value to you,
which leads to a life which is not worth living.

Discussion
(In continuation of the previous topic)
The Greek Triumvirate

Socrates (470 BCE to 399 BCE) He was considered the foremost philosopher of ancient times. He made
great contributions to the field of ethics. He was credited with formulating the Socratic Method or
Elenchus- a means of examining a topic by devising a series of questions that let the learner examine and
analyse his knowledge and views regarding the topic.
Plato (427 BCE to 347 BCE) A student of Socrates, he wrote down his teacher’s writings and incorporated
some of his own ideas into them. His teaching and writings are considered the foundation of Western
philosophy. Plato’s lasting contribution to learning was his founding of the Academy, an institution of
higher learning which was the first of its kind in the West.
● Knowledge through concept is the only true knowledge

● Concept or idea is the only true reality
● One of his famous works is ‘’The Republic
● Senses are often deceitful
● Humans detach themselves for what is corporeal because the soul without the limitation of
body can be better recognize by the eternal form of truth
Aristotle (384 BCE to 322 BCE) He attended the Academy, and was a prominent student of Plato. He
was involved in a great variety of disciplines such as zoology, psychology, ethics, and politics. His
studies in logic led to the formulation of a formal process of analyzing reasoning which gave rise to
deductive reasoning.
● Perceptual and cognitive faculties are dependable

● Human beings philosophize because they wonder about the world
● Endowment of senses will lead a person in direct contact with the world
● And therefore, allow him to analyze whether what appears upon close scrutiny and analysis
is correct
Doing Philosophy: Philosophical Reflection

Instruction: Read and analyse the problem.

Today, we will not totally base our solution or answer on the theory of mathematics, instead we are doing
philosophy. Let’s apply the Principle of Noncontradiction. It says that it is impossible for a thing to be and
not to be at the same time in the same respect. P100 is impossible to be P99. For P100 is P100. And P99
is P99. They can never be the same. By applying the Principle of Sufficient Reason, P99 should not be
existent in the first place. For P97 (total expense) and P1 (which goes to you) should not go together for
they are of different respect or aspect. P97 is part of the P100 and P2 is part of the P3 (change). P1 is
already included in the P97 total expense. What must go together are: P97 (expense) and P2 (P1 each for
your parents as components of P100, or P1 (goes to you) and P2 (P1 each for your parents) as components
of change (P3), or P97 (t-shirt) and P3 (change). Therefore, there is no missing P1!
Doing Philosophy
● To ask questions, to reflects and to formulate and evaluate arguments
● Doing philosophy involves asking the right questions, critically examining the work of previous
philosophers, truly understanding the works and the reasoning behind the works, and possibly
building on the works of previous philosophers by expanding or testing this methodology.
Philosophical Reflection
● It is the tool in doing philosophy which is the act of giving time to think about meaning and
purpose of life. It could be done through debate, discussions, essays and other activities.
● There are two types of Philosophical reflection: the Primary reflection (fragmented and
compartmentalizes thinking; instrumental thinking; means-end of thinking or selfish way of
thinking) and Secondary Reflection (integrates the fragmented and compartmentalizes experience
into coherent whole).
● Partial point of view is one's perception is limited by other factors or based on a single factor. (ex:
My brother told me that his girlfriend is kind and beautiful yet it is different from my opinion so I
told him that he's just in love.)
● Holistic point of view is having a view where we understand both the whole and the parts of
something, and, we understand how the parts, when brought together, make up the whole. (ex:
As a teacher it is important to know the personal background of my whole class rather than some
of the class.)
