What is Holism?
Doing Philosophy:

One of the key elements in many educational reforms is


diversity (variety), difference and choice or other proposals
that establish curricular routes for different groups or
individuals.
Diversity is the difference that makes people unique(i.e.
biology, ethnicity and culture, family life, beliefs,
geography , experiences, and religion.) There are times
that we encountered difficulty in accepting others because
they are different from us. Yet, such behavior can limit a
person’s opportunities or can make the person feel
excluded or hurt.
Educational challenge in the 21st century needs how to
deal appropriately with cultural and racial multiplicity
and does not engage of harassment of any form (Kuinka
2006)
PHILOSOPHY:
The term Philosophy means love of wisdom. It is an
activity people undertake when they seek to understand
fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which
they live, and the relationship to the world and to each
other.
Philosophy is the foundation of critical thinking.
Philosophy brings the important questions to the table
and works towards an answer. It encourages us to think
critically about the world; it is the foundation of all
knowledge and when utilized properly, can provide us
with huge benefits.
Science can’t answer every question.
Philosophy has particular meaning in the business world.
Ancient philosophers continue to influence humanity.
PHILOSOPHY is also defined as the science that by natural
light of reason studies the first causes or highest principle
of all things. Four things that needs to be considered:

a) Science. It is called science because the investigation


is systematic. It follows certain steps or it employs
certain procedure. In other words, it is an organized body
of knowledge just like any other sciences.
b) Natural Light of Reason. Philosophy
investigates things, not by using any other
laboratory instrument or investigative
tools, neither on the basis of the
supernatural revelations, otherwise it
becomes theology (the study of the nature
of God and religious belief) : instead, the
philosopher uses his natural capacity to
think or simply, human reason alone or the
so called unaided (independent) reason.
c) Study of All Things. This set the distinction
between Philosophy from other sciences. All other
sciences concern themselves with a particular subject
of investigation. For example, anthropologist study
human beings in relation with society ; sociologist
study society, it’s form, structures, and functions;
botanist focus their attention to plants; linguist limit
themselves with language, theologians investigate
Gods;
where as a Philosopher studies human
being, society, religion, language, God and
plants among other concerns.
That is the reason why philosophy is not
partial nor dimensional. In short a
philosopher questions almost anything, if
not everything. It is multidimensional or
holistic.
d) First Cause of Highest Principle. A principle is that which
something proceeds in any manner whatsoever. The First
Principles:
• Principle of Identity. whatever is, is; and whatever is
not is not; everything is what it is . Everything is its own
being and not being is not being.
• Principle of Non contradiction. It is being impossible
for a thing to be and not to be at the same time and at the
same respect.
• Principle of Excluded Middle. A thing is either or is not;
everything is either be or not be; between being and not
being, there is no middle ground possible.
• Principle of Sufficient reason. nothing exist being
sufficient reason for its and existence.
Scope of philosophy has changed.
It was the Greek philosophers that studied aspect of
the natural and human world that later became
separate sciences- astronomy, physics, psychology, and
sociology. On the other hand, certain basic problems-
the nature of the universe, the standard of justice , the
validity of knowledge, the correct application of reason
and the criteria of beauty – have been the domain of
philosophy from its beginning to the present.
