III. LESSON PRESENTATION

Why do we philosophize? We all have the potential to philosophize since we have the tendency to wonder and
doubt.

A philosopher is a good communicator who can clearly and adequately present his or her ideas.

Doing philosophy can be applied in day-to-day activities and life perspectives. Because it involves an evaluative process,
doing philosophy allows a person to make better decisions and act accordingly to situations with the help of various philosophical
skills. On life perspectives, philosophy enables reflective thinking which greatly influences a person’s view of life, challenges, and
relationships

In doing philosophy, a holistic perspective on the subject is always required. Failure to do so or only using a partial point of
view may lead to illogical or incorrect conclusions.

Plato traced man’s need to philosophize to his sense of wonder. Whenever we are confronted with an experience, we always
wonder how it came about.

French philosopher Rene Descartes traced the need to philosophize to doubt. In life, we will be faced with several ideas and
arguments which present themselves as “truths”. A critical and questioning perspective is necessary to determine if indeed these ideas
or views are correct or true.

Swiss-German philosopher Karl Jaspers saw the need to philosophize because of experience. These experiences limit
situation, philosophy provides us a means to understand adverse or challenging conditions, and to rise above them and gain new
knowledge and perspective.

The need to philosophize is driven by the love for wisdom. To love wisdom is to have an insatiable desire for truth.
Philosophy itself is a distinct area of knowledge with its own goals, concerns, and ways of doing things.
