Joshua emphasizes the importance of being prepared to learn philosophy at one's own pace and time. He also shares his love for travel as a means of stress relief and a source of valuable experiences. The first segment of the video uses the metaphor of being lost to illustrate how philosophy is applied in daily life, encouraging viewers to ask questions and seek answers to understand their surroundings and navigate through life's challenges.
🧐 The Essence of Philosophy: Love of Wisdom
In this paragraph, Joshua delves deeper into the meaning of philosophy, tracing its origins to the Greek words 'philos' (love) and 'sophia' (wisdom), thus defining philosophy as the love of wisdom. He explains that a philosopher is someone who is in pursuit of wisdom, constantly asking questions, and seeking truth and meaning. The script discusses how philosophy can be viewed in various ways, such as a framework for understanding the world, an examination of knowledge, and a distinct discipline with its own methods and goals. Joshua also highlights the importance of philosophy in helping individuals make sense of problems and situations, and how it has been a part of human experience since ancient times.
🌏 The Birthplace of Philosophy: Ancient Greece and Thales
The script takes viewers on a virtual journey to Ancient Greece, the birthplace of Western philosophy, with a focus on the city of Miletus and its most famous philosopher, Thales. Thales, known as the father of philosophy in Western civilization, is credited with attempting to find the underlying unity in the diversity of the world's phenomena. Joshua describes Thales' quest to understand the ultimate substance that composes all things, marking the beginning of philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality.

should i ask a stranger for
directions consult the google maps or
call a friend don't worry
i can get through this
now let's use philosophy in this
situation
let's find out how philosophy works
since i get lost it leads me to ask the
question
where am i it is followed by a series of
questions like
how can i discover it should i ask a
stranger for directions
consult a google map or call a friend
how do i find out where am i
when i have the answers to those
questions i'm back
on track but i still have one remaining
question to answer
what should i do definitely i have to
face the consequences
to arrive at my destination successfully
this simple example shows how we
practice
philosophy in our daily lives we have to
identify the problem or cause
then go through the process and finally
the consequences that may provide
answers
or may lead us to repeat the process
again
philosophy is really all about questions
and answers
it is concerned with the deepest and
biggest questions in life
as we continue to find our way to the
right track
learning shall continue as well now this
time you have to give your insight
or thoughts in this question

when you hear the word
philosophy copy the graphic organizer on
a separate sheet of paper
then write your answers on the belong
circles
you only have 30 seconds to finish the
[Music]
activity
[Music]
[Music]
all right time is up i hope you had a
great time answering the activity
have a subject of your work as we go
along with our lesson
now let's have it in a deeper context
while
you and i are in this learning adventure
the word philosophy comes from the two
greek words
philos which means love and sophia which
means wisdom hence philosophy
is the love of wisdom this is the most
common
and simplest definition of philosophy
it uses the human reasons to investigate
the ultimate causes and principles which
burns all things so what is
a philosopher a philosopher
is a lover of wisdom he or she puts
meaning to what is out there open to
changes and
discovery he or she does not stop
knowing wandering and asking questions
hangers for truth meaning and sense
someone who goes beyond the surface of
things
experiences transcendence and possesses
a beautiful mind
and that's the meaning of philosophy
fewer thoughts and we're halfway to our
destination
there are many ways on looking at things
like
experiences situations or problems
philosophy can be seen and treated in
different ways
it can be seen as a framework as an
examination of knowledge or
as a discipline let's explore them
one by one
whenever a person encounters a problem
situation or question in life he or she
often goes back to his or her framework
in order to make sense of the problem a
framework
is defined as a way of thinking about
the world
and is composed of views and beliefs of
a person
philosophy then as a framework could
lead
the person to come up with something
that may provide
solutions on the other hand philosophy
can also be treated
as an examination of knowledge this
means that the principles of philosophy
can also be used as an examination of
other disciplines or
particular areas of knowledge in the
long run
other areas of the specialization may
benefit
from the very nature of philosophy
say for example while scientists
concerns himself with scientific
knowledge
historians with the knowledge of the
past economist
with the knowledge of supply and demand
a philosopher concerns himself
with the nature of knowledge it embraces
all types of knowledge previously
mentioned
and more lastly philosophy in itself
is distinct area of knowledge it has its
own goals
concerns and ways of doing things
definitely
philosophy is a discipline in itself
philosophy begins in human's experience
of reality
being the most ancient of all
intellectual disciplines
philosophy is the matter of human and
natural sciences
it is more than just knowledge it seeks
to open our minds to become
aware of illusions and flawed reasoning
and that's what philosophy is all about
let's continue walking we might get see
some signs that could lead us to the
right direction
[Music]
we've been walking for almost an hour
already
but i think we are exactly where we are
supposed to be now
the place where idea as a philosophy
started
do you know this place we are in ancient
greece
come and let's check what's inside
ancient greece is situated on the
southern tip of the balkans
at the crossroads of europe asia and
africa
greece is the birthplace of philosophy
in the west
to be more precise it is in the ancient
greek city of mellitus
in the western coast of what is now
turkey
that gave birth to philosophy
it is in this city that the first
philosopher in the west
lived he is tales of militias
thales is the father of philosophy in
the western civilization
he lived between 624 and 546
bce a contemporary of the legion king
crisis and statesman salad
what made thales a philosopher is his
desire to know the ultimate staff
that made up the different things we've
perceived
when we look at the world we encounter
different things
people trees clouds mountains
rivers etc theos
believes that there is one in the many
thales was the first individual who
tried to reduce
the multiplicity into unity
i hope you enjoyed our quick visit to
ancient greece
this time i will bring you to another
place where philosophy grew
let's go
no more guessing no more holding back we
are in the land of mystery and diversity
india buddha is not a name
but a title it is a sanskrit word that
means a person who is awake what buddha
is awake to
is the true nature of reality
if you look at your life you will see
that it is a series of challenges
that you have to overcome if you want to
survive
it feels like you are competing in a
race in which you are required to
successfully jump
hurdles in order to win and
each challenge is really a question or a
bunch of questions that you have
to answer dear students
please do remember this quotation from
great
philosopher gotama buddha on questions
and thoughts about life
rule your mind or it will rule you
with our thoughts we make the world
what a great adventure isn't it short
but it's all worth it
i hate to say goodbye to this place but
we need to set our fit back home
more learning as we go along the way
since philosophy's concern is vast we
have to divide it into different
branches
each branch will focus on specific area
of
philosophy the first three branches of
philosophy are metaphysics epistemology
and logic they are called the cognitive
branches
these branches provide a description of
being and knowing
they are foundations of understanding
any philosophical system
logic is a branch of philosophy that
deals with the nature of thinking and
reasoning
it uses empirical support and
information which are reliable
valid and objective it is the science of
correct thinking
there are two types of logic deductive
reasoning which is from a general truth
to specific truth
from universal truth to particular and
the other one is inductive reasoning
which is from a specific truth
to general truth or particular to
universal the second cognitive branch of
philosophy
is epistemology it concerns with the
definition of knowledge and related
concepts
such as horses and criteria of knowledge
there are two contending schools of
thought
one is rational school the main source
of knowledge is deductive reasoning
based on self-evident principles
or actions the other one is empirical
school
the source of knowledge is sense
perception
and the last cognitive branch is
metaphysics
it comes from the greek words meta which
means
beyond and fesicon which means nature
metaphysics is a branch of philosophy
which is concerned with the nature
of ultimate reality the next
three branches of philosophy are ethics
politics and aesthetics these can be
classified as the normative branches of
philosophy it is because they are
concerned with the standard of the good
if the cognitive branches are concerned
with what is
the normative branches are concerned
with what
is ought to be the first normative
branch of philosophy
is ethics it comes from the greek word
ethos
which means character it is the science
of correct doing
it is the study of what is right and
what is wrong in human behavior
in the pursuit of beauty and goodness of
life
ethics can be regarded as technology of
philosophy
it is because it tells us human beings
ought to function
as human being the next branch of
philosophy
is political philosophy it is a body of
knowledge that
looks up on the society politics and the
people
making it whole it is believed that
society is inseparable
to politics and our last normative
branch
is aesthetics it is derived from the
greek word estaticus which means
one who is perceptible things through
his sensation
feelings and intuitions it is concerned
with the essence
of perception objective judgment

origin
and characteristics and branches of
philosophy
the word philosophy comes from two greek
words
philos which means love sophia which
means wisdom it can also be defined as
the study that uses human reason to
investigate the ultimate causes
reasons and principles which govern all
things
