man can know, both the conduct of his life by preserving his health and the invention of all arts. ”
• Aristotle
“The wise man has the knowledge of all things, insofar as possible”
• Gide
“I do not think that the last word of wisdom is to surrender to nature, and give free rein to the
instincts, but I think that before seeking to reduce and tame, it is important to understand – because
many of the disharmony that we suffer are only apparent and due only to errors of interpretation. ”
• Molière
“By dint of wisdom, it can be to blame. ”
• Heraclitus
“Wisdom is one thing. It is to know the thought by which all things are led by all things”

Concept Notes:

An understanding of opinion and facts and the means to distinguish one from the other can further
improve our understanding and appreciation of varied views and ideas. The ability to determine truth goes
hand in hand with the holistic perspective and enables us to make wiser decisions, especially in choosing the
ideas and views which we find acceptable.

An individual cannot live his or her life just agreeing with everybody he or she meets a critical mind
aided by philosophy can help us form our own personal point of view that can guide us in making decisions
and actions when faced with a problem. Each individual’s point of view is unique but it should be based on
sound and reasonable ideas and views. Philosophy can help us determine ideas that are truthful and
acceptable, which we can then use to form our own views regarding certain matters.

Activity 1

Direction: Let us philosophize and come up with a philosophical question about the issue on drug addiction.
Let us start with these:

1. “If drug addiction is a crime and drug addicts are criminals, does this mean that any other form of
addiction is also a crime? Can people addicted to coffee be considered criminals”?

Your philosophical question about issue number 1:

2. “If we get rid of the drug addicts but not the drug manufacturers and pushers, do we solve the problem of
drug addiction? Are we just getting rid of the symptoms but not the causes of the problem”?

Your philosophical question about issue number 2:

Guide Questions: Let us analyze the questions and apply our knowledge on the methods of
Philosophizing.

1. How can philosophy help identify things that are truthful?


2. What traits and values can help us in determining truth?
3. How will knowing truth help us become wiser and discerning individuals?
