C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
In a few years, you will gain new experiences in life that you may have never dreamed of. Such experiences may excite or
challenge you, while some can make you rethink your life and decisions.
At your age, you may have already asked yourself important questions about your life that cannot be directly answered
through research or education, such as “What do I want?” or “What will make me happy?”
Throughout your life, you have wondered about many things which lead you to ask a lot of questions.
1
If you have already asked yourself those big question, then you have already engaged in philosophy.
– What is Philosophy?
– Is it a way of life? Why or why not?
– How do you apply it in everyday life?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills
Learn about it!
Doing philosophy helps you think many things, including those that leave you confused or without an acceptable
answer. You can do philosophy by yourself, with a partner, or with a group.
The Meaning of Philosophy and Philosophy of the Human Person
Philosophy, meaning "love of wisdom," is a science where reason and logic are used to understand reality and answer
questions of knowledge, morality, and human nature. It can be described as either a body of knowledge or an intellectual
activity.
Philosophy as a body of knowledge provides methodologies and insights on how societal questions, such as moral
dilemmas of euthanasia or same-sex marriage, can be answered.
On the other hand, philosophy as an intellectual activity is an analytic procedure of addressing individual thought
processes such as resolving conflict and confusion, testing positions, and analyzing beliefs. In all instances, doing
philosophy is prescribed by logic, reason, and ethics leading to wisdom.
Philosophy applied to human experience or everyday life denotes the use of philosophy as an intellectual activity. Also
known as philosophy in life, this concept is important because it serves as the guiding principle on how one ought to live
life.
SHARE IT!
What is your philosophy/ guiding principle in life that you can share? Explain why you imbibe (sinasabuhay) that philosophy,
in 5 sentences.

Meaning and Process of Doing Philosophy
Doing philosophy means engaging oneself in “matters of utility” and methodologies to eliminate any practical problem or
abstract idea.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. Some other skills involved in doing philosophy are critical,
logical, and analytical thinking, observation, and communicative skills. Before engaging in philosophical inquiry, one must
be able to distinguish between a holistic and partial point of view. This is critical for anyone doing philosophy because it
sets a limit in coming up with conclusions about a given situation.
Holistic and Partial Points of View
-
Holistic
Looks at all aspects in the given
problem or situation
All aspects are given importance when
making conclusion.
-
Partial
Looks at only a limited number of
aspects of the given problem or
situation.
2
-
All aspects are tied together to form a
general overview of the problem or
situations
Example: The teacher listens first to both sides
of stories of her two arguing students before
making conclusion about the issue
-
Conclusions are based on considering
some, but not all, sides of the problem
or situation.
Example: A teacher scolds Student A after
Student B accused him of stealing her pencil
case. However, the teacher only listened to the
story of student B, and not to student A, Before
deciding to scold the student.
Importance of Philosophical Reflection
Philosophical reflection is the process by which a person undergoes a reflective state or evaluates his or her
experiences first before making any related action. The use of philosophical reflection is important as it enables thought
to be looked into using a deeper, holistic perspective. In effect, actions are directed towards greater sources of wisdom
and truth.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living
Describe a situation in your life when you were able to engage in philosophy by answering the following questions:
What circumstances or dilemma brought about your need to philosophize?
How did philosophy help you address your situation?
(May mga pagkakataon at pagsubok ba sa iyong buhay na nagamit mo ang ilang mga pilosopoya? Paano natugunan ng
pilosopiya ang mga pagkakataon at pagsubok na ito?)
H. Making generalization and abstractions about the lesson
As a youth of this generation, it is very important to have a philosophy o a guiding principle in living your life. Knowing the
importance of having a philosophy in life can help you see things, people and situation in a wider, clearer perspective.
The need to philosophize is traced to a person’s sense of wonder and doubt, the need to make sense of challenging
experiences and the love for wisdom.
A holistic view also means that one does not confine one’s understanding of the world to one’s own perspective but also
includes the perspective of others. This is very helpful in coming up with a sound judgement and well-defined decision.
This view also enables a person to better appreciate his or her experiences as vital components that give meaning to life.
I. Evaluate Learning
Make a poster/slogan/drawing showing a holistic view of your life. Come up with a creative visualization that will show
your life in its totality. (*use a short bond paper) (Gumawa ng isang slogan/poster/drawing na magpapakita at
maglalarawan ng iyong buhay ngayon. Maging malikhain sa paglalarawan ng kabuuan ng iyong buhay)
