3. JUSTIFICATION
The etymological origin of philosophy is from the Greek philos - philein, which means friend-love and from the Greek sophia, which
means wisdom. Thus philosophy means friend or love of wisdom, which is acquired through study, through rational effort in the search
for knowledge.
The field of philosophy since the time of classical Greece, covers the great concerns or points of interest of man such as: the origin of
nature and the world, man, god, knowledge and existence itself. These constitute themes to be studied based on the search for an
answer.

Introduction to Philosophy
to philosophical questions or problems such as being, knowing and preferring or the actions of man through the different philosophical
doctrines.
The philosophical study aims to develop and strengthen the humanistic part of the curriculum, through the identification, knowledge
and analysis of the philosophical problems and philosophical positions that aim to solve them.
The philosophers selected from ancient times to the present day are representative of the different currents of thought, with the aim of
forming a critical student capable of carrying out processes of reflection and contrast that allow the student to abstract elements of
judgment to apply in their daily life. , in their high school academic career and continue a professional career.
Which implies understanding philosophy not only as the history of human thought, but as the set of current thoughts that allow the
possibility of having an interpretation of the world, the search for the meaning of its existence and the determination of its position as a
concrete man,
That develops the ability to distinguish the field of philosophy from science, but whose relationship is found when in the scientist, the
support of each science, of each theory, of each explanation is based on philosophical positions.
The approach to the philosophical field allows us to broaden the horizon of the student's thinking, by influencing the awakening of their
curiosity, doubt or astonishment in the face of a reality that is never sufficiently explained, which in turn gives them the possibility of
developing their self-learning.
The above will be discovered and taken advantage of by the student when, while taking other subjects, they simultaneously take Logic
in the 5th semester, a philosophical science that serves as an intellectual tool both in the construction of knowledge and in the process
of validating or refuting it.
Once the student has learned basic knowledge of philosophy and logic, they can understand the contents of Ethics, a philosophical
science that will be taken in the 6th semester. With this knowledge, the student acquires elements of judgment to critically analyze his
own moral conduct and that of the society in which he is immersed.

Introduction to Philosophy
ANALOGY: (Gr. aua = upward + logos = reason). Similarity found by comparison, what is true in one
is in another.
• The act of apprehending the apprehension itself, operated by a subject, of any object of
reality.
• This apprehension can be carried out with (sensitive knowledge) or without (intellectual
knowledge) the intervention of the bodily senses.
• All knowledge is a relationship between the subject and an object; When in this relationship
the emphasis is placed on the object, the relationship itself is one of identity or similarity; but,
when the emphasis is placed on the subject, the relationship of transcendence.
COSMOLOGY: Philosophical discipline that addresses the problem of the origin, structure and
purpose of the universe; seeks to discover the foundation that gives reason for material being. It is
related to Physics and Astronomy, dealing with similar problems, although the way of treating them is
different.
CRITICISM: Philosophical discipline that reflects on the objective validity of our knowledge and the
scope and limits of our faculties.
BECOMING. It strictly means to become. It is used in several senses: change, mutation, movement.
judgment and, therefore, decree or ordinance; the fundamental beliefs of philosophical schools. The
decisions of the Councils and ecclesiastical authorities in fundamental matters of faith. Opposed to
skepticism: Belief in the possibility of progress in metaphysics without a critique of reason (Kant). ·
Authoritative assertion of an opinion. In theory of knowledge: It is the position that does not question
the possibility of knowing. In general it is the tendency to accept, without evidence or reasons, certain
statements or doctrines.
DIALECTIC: Philosophical method, meeting of opposites.
EIDETIC: Literally means image, in philosophical language it is the primary idea or essence.
ENTE: It comes from the Latin word ens, entis, with which the scholastics designated the verb esse
which means to be. It is dedicated to everything that is, exists or can exist.
EMPIRISM: (Gr. eu = en + petrav = experience + - ismod =doctrine.) Generic name for all
philosophical doctrines that deny the existence of axioms as principles of knowledge logically distinct
from experience. The doctrine that, whether or not it recognizes the existence of innate principles in
the individual, does not admit that the spirit has its own laws different from other known things and,
therefore, only rests the knowledge of the truth in experience, outside of which It only admits arbitrary
definitions or hypotheses.
SKEPTICISM : (Gr. =) skeppomai = examine. Absolute: Doctrine of those who maintain that man
cannot, in any field, achieve certainty and, therefore, advocate the suspension of judgment. Relative
Doctrine of those who maintain that in the field (metaphysical or religious) man cannot achieve
certainty. · Intellectual attitude of someone who does not admit any particular fact as true.
ESSENCE: (L. Essentia <esse = being.) In Metaphysics: What the object is. · Empirical knowledge
only apprehends phenomena perceptible by the senses (the superficial, the temporal). When the
object is detached (abstracted) from its empirical data (sensorily experienced) and thought of in itself,
the essential concept is obtained; that is, the concept of what the object is in itself independently of the
accidents it takes due to its stay in time and space. Metaphysically, the essence is distributed in the
form and function of the object and, logically, the essence of an object is distributed in its genus and its
species. Necessary characteristics of an entity, by which it is distinguished from others.
ESSENCE: Set of indispensable elements that constitute the nature of an object; It is what makes a
being what it is and not something else.
ESSENTIALISM : (L.essentia <esse + Gr.-ismoz = system, doctrine: preference for essence.) General
character of philosophical doctrines that defend the existence of essences, granting them more

Introduction to Philosophy
PHENOMENOLOGY. It seeks to describe the significant data (as they are presented or are data) of
the phenomena to consciousness. Hence the intuition of conscience is legitimized as a legitimate
source of knowledge.
PHILOSOPHER: It is thinking about the judgment of philosophers; at the level of language they are
philosophical propositions.
IDEALISM : (L. Idealis e ism = conformity with what belongs to the idea.). In the problem of universals
(the nature of ideas): Doctrine that attributes to certain ideas an existence in themselves (outside of the
spirit and the individual things in which they are realized) and, therefore, a true existence. (Platonic
realism.) In the problem of the existence of the external world; Doctrine according to which the so-
called external world has no other reality than the ideas or representations that man has of it.
Transcendental: Doctrine according to which the external world is reduced to the ideas that man has of
it, although things exist in themselves; but these transcend our experiences and we only know the
phenomena; so that for man there are only phenomena.
INTERSUBJECTIVE: Set of opinions of various subjects related to each other regarding some issue or
problem, either to recognize it or to try to establish its validity.
INTUITION: Mental process through which I immediately, directly and completely know or understand
reality or a truth, without any type of discourse or reasoning.
IRONY: Resource with which the philosopher implies the opposite of what is said, in a hidden, fine and
mocking way.
MAYEUTIC: It is a word that means to give birth or give birth. It was used by Socrates to designate his
philosophical method which consisted of asking questions to his interlocutors, in such a way that, when
they gave their answers, the inconsistency or contradictions in it would be seen, so that they would
realize their own errors and give answers. the correct answers, part of the doubt, and then dialogue.
METAPHYSICS: Philosophical discipline that tries to reach the very core of everything that exists,
because it is the core of Philosophy, it studies the supreme causes of everything between.
OBJECTIVITY : For Kant it is what has existence outside the subject, the reality independent of all

Introduction to Philosophy
knowledge or idea.
PERCEPTION: It is the function that the senses perform when capturing or apprehending the reality
that surrounds us. What is perceived is captured as a totality and involves our way of perceiving things.
PHYSIS: Nature.
RATIONALISM: Philosophical current that, faced with the problem of knowledge, postulates reason
and its functions as the only appropriate organ for it.
REALITY: (L. Realis + the ending of abstraction.) The way of being of things as they exist outside the
human mind or independently of it.
REALISM : (Compound of real + ism = give primacy to the real.) As opposed to idealism: Doctrine
according to which there is a reality independent of the representations of the spirit. R. Critical:
Doctrine that, by admitting the reality of the external world, does not admit that it is how the senses
make us know it. Doctrine according to which we know the external world as it is for us (phenomenon),
but not as it is in itself (noumenon). R. Immediate: Doctrine that affirms that the external world is known
by intuition, without an intermediary. It states that knowledge of the external world is through sensation.
BE: (From the old Spanish seer > sedere = to be sitting.) From the point of view of the principle of non-
contradiction: Being is the opposite of nothing. Absolutely: being is total indetermination.
Metaphysically: being is true. Logically: Being is the most general possible concept, from which the
explanation of the particulars contained therein; That is, the most extensive possible concept to which
the comprehensive notes determining the particulars contained in it are added.
MEANING: It is defining what is meant, sometimes it is also taken with the meaning of what is said.
SYNTHESIS : It is a method that proceeds from the simple to the compound, it is also defined on the
occasion of analysis, which is the opposite.
SUBJECTIVE: It is the mental representation that the subject makes of reality; the inner condition of
the subject who knows, or knower. It also means, in its pejorative sense, something that is not founded
or that is relative.
TRANSCENDENCE: (<transcendence> I will transcend = pass to the other side) Character of what is
transcendent (transcendent is distinguished from transcendental). Doctrine according to which there
are fixed relationships, of law or truth that dominate the facts, without depending on them.
NATURAL THEOLOGY OR THEODYCEY: Philosophical discipline that deals with the problem of
God, trying to resolve questions regarding the absolute and using reason to do so.
Coordination of the Teaching Division
Directorate of Higher Secondary and Terminal Education
Baccalaureate Academic Program 2010
Introduction to Philosophy
REVEALED THEOLOGY: Religious "science" that deals with the subject of God. It resolves questions
similar to those of Theodicy, this one uses reason for its study and revealed theology uses revelation
(Holy Books, Bible) to treat God.
