MODULE 5

Ms. Jane Pauline M. Clores


…To be kind is more important than
to be right. Many times, what people
need is not a brilliant mind that
speaks but a special heart that
listens.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Come on, let’s eat”
“How are you today?”
“ Thank you for helping me”
“I appreciate everything you have
done for me.”
“What do you think I should do with my life?”
“Without you, my life will have no meaning.”
According to Aristotle, human
beings are “social animals”
and therefore naturally seek
the companionship of others
as part of their well-being.
As Baruch Spinoza observes,
“MEN DO DERIVE FROM
SOCIAL LIFE MUCH MORE
CONVENIENCE THAN
INJURY."
• Self – other
• It also enables us to recognize that
the other human beings also
possess a self. The notion of
recognizing the self in the other is
how philosophers define the
interpersonal relations.
As cited in one of the articles by Dr. Paul
Dordal on 2018,
respects the uniqueness and dignity of
every person and recognizes that
objectivity will always be a noble but,
nevertheless, elusive goal. It understood
and rejects the objectification of life.
- The attitudes and intentions of the I is that
his partner is not an equal subject but an
object to be manipulated for personal gain.
- The intention of the I is to persuade the
views and needs by conducting a monologue.
- When we do that, we create an inauthentic
relationship that is only utilitarian; we are
using people.
- People approach each other with mutual
respect, sincerity, honesty with the intention
of participating in a reciprocal relationship.
- A space opens up between people which
Buber calls an interhuman domain - the
dialogue unfolds and “you” and “I” become
“we”.
• Dialogue is made possible when the self realizes
that the other is a genuine and unique individual.
• Just like in Buber’s claim in the I-Thou
relationship, Dialogue is more than enough in
having a good interpersonal relationship with
other person than Monologue (I-It relationship).
If a man without arms and
legs is dreaming big, why
can’t we? Why can’t we
all?
-Nicholas James “Nick” Vujicic
an Australian evangelist
and motivational
speaker who was
born with phocomelia,
a condition in which a
person is born with
no arms or legs.

Another group of people who experience
hardship and discrimination are the
underprivileged. The most common
measure of the underprivileged is income
poverty, which is defined in terms of
consumption of goods and services. There
is lack of goods and services. They have
less in terms of material possessions.
Women must be united to men in
wisdom and rationality. Society
should allow women to attain
equal rights to philosophy and
education given to men.

- Mary Wollstonecraft
