PHILOSOPHY
● NOMINAL DEFINITION (explains what a name means)
Philosophy comes from the Greek words philo, meaning friend and
Sophia, meaning wisdom. It literally means the love of wisdom or a
friend of wisdom. Coming from the etymological perspective, philosophy
involves wisdom.
B. Of beings, i.e. of all, everything that exists, or may exist, of everything knowable.
Philosophy is the highest synthesis of all sciences, dealing with man, nature and God.
It is also considered as the mother of all sciences because of it’s very vast scope and
subject matter.
C. In their ultimate cause, because it asks and answers not only facts and proximate
causes but also the deepest causes of things. Its task is to give answer, not only to the
question ‘what’ but most importantly to the question ‘why’.
D. Through the aid of human intellect alone, because philosophy uses natural reason and
not Divine Revelation of the recourse to the Bible. It is the product of one’s own
thinking and not of imagination or fantasy.
