philosophy?
Excellent, therefore, Philosophy is love of wisdom. Any Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental
other meaning? questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind
and language.

There are a lot of questions that comes into our mind

when we talk about philosophy. So to better understand it deeper,
let’s discuss the nature of philosophy.
We have five characteristics of philosophy. Can you give
one class? Framework, Philosophy is a way of thinking about the world
and is compose of views and beliefs of a person.

numbers of topics from each and every facet of our lives.

Again the fourth characteristic? Science, Philosophy is the study of humans and the world by
thinking and asking questions.

And the last one characteristic?

Art, Philosophy is an art of analytical and critical thinking, the
art of logical and illogical and the art of reasoning.

Ok so we already discuss the characteristics of

philosophy, let us now move on to another topic.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2

What do we call people who engage in Philosophy? Ma’am, we call them philosophers.

Do you know of some Greek Philosophers? Yes Ma’am.

Who are they? Would you please give their names and Pythagoras (570 BCE to 495 BCE)- A mathematician and
their contributions? scientist, he was credited with formulating the Pythagorean
theorem.
He was known as the father of numbers. He was also expert
on the fate of the soul after death and thought that our soul is
immortal which will go through a series of reincarnations.

Heraclitus (535 BCe to 475 BCE)- He proposed that

everything that exists is based on a higher order or plan
which he called logos.
He was known for his cosmology, in which fire forms the
basic material principle of an orderly universe.

Democritus (460 BCE to 370 BCE)- He devoted himself to

the study of the causes of natural phenomena.
Primarily remembered today because of his atomic theory of
the universe. He believed that all material bodies are made
up of indivisibly small atoms. He was also known as a
laughing philosopher, because of his emphasis on the value
of cheerfulness.

Diogenes of Sinope (412 BCE to 323 BCE)- He was a known

advocate of living a simple and virtuous life.
He was the founder of the cynic philosophy. He firmly
believed that virtues are better revealed through actions. He
always criticizes the social values of certain place. He had a
reputation for sleeping and eating wherever he chooses in a
 highly non-traditional fashion.

Epicurus (341 BCE to 270 BCE)- He believed that

philosophy could enable man to live a life of happiness.
He believed that pleasure is the ultimate chief good in life.
Hence, he advocated living in such a way to derive the
greatest amount of pleasure during one’s lifetime in order to
avoid suffering.

Socrates (470 BCE to 399 BCE)- He was considered the

foremost philosophers of ancient times. He was credited with
formulating the Socratic method- means of examining a topic
by devising a series of questions that let the learner examine
and analyze his knowledge and views regarding the topic.
He was regarded as the father of Western Philosophy. A
prominent teacher of Plato. He is also known for his
statement which says “The unexamined life is not worth
living.”
Plato (427 BCE to 347 BCE)- A student of Socrates, he
wrote down his mentor’s teaching and incorporated some of
his own ideas into them. Plato’s most significant ideas
included his Theory of Forms, which proposes that
everything that exist is based on an idea or template than
can only be perceived in the mind. Plato is also known for his
dialectic- a method of inquiry where two opposing ideas are
discussed in an attempt to arrive at new knowledge. Plato’s
lasting contribution to learning was his founding of the
Academy, an institution of higher learning.
A prominent teacher of Aristotle. He is also famous of his
“ethical belief”.
Aristotle (384 BCE to 322 BCE)- He attended the Academy,
and was the prominent student of Plato. For him, all ideas
and views are based on perception and our reality is based
on what we can sense and perceive. His studies in logic led
to the formulation of a formal process of analyzing reasoning
which give rise to inductive reasoning-the process by which
specific statements are analyzed to reach a conclusion or
generalization.
Very good, philosophers have a big contribution in our life.
If we don’t have philosophers, our discipline will not be
developed and flourished.
