Theory of Philosophy vs Truth of Philosophy Although, my theories of philosophy are study of true knowledge of life, views of the universe and views on religion. Could this be the truth of what is philosophy? Prior to the first day of class, my thought was religion and what exactly is philosophy. But I was looking forward to learn what it truly meant and how I can utilize the knowledge in my life. Being anticipated, I did a brief research on what is philosophy and realize it has to deal with the way you think and reasoning. However, I thought it had something to do with the mind or under psychology as nurse positions are under a doctor’s position. Definitely, my thoughts had changed after having an experience of a short introduction of philosophy…

Ultimately, people take on philosophy as an action when they wish to pursue an understanding in the fundamental authenticity about themselves, the type of world they exist in, and their relationships with the world and the people around them. Those who are naturally drawn to studying philosophy often engage in asking questions, answering them, and also dispute for answers to the most basic questions life may throw at them. In order…
chooses to personify philosophy in his Consolation of Philosophy because it provides him with the opportunity to have a dialogue with someone versus monologuing to himself. In addition, by personifying philosophy, he is able to familiarize philosophy to any common man, and it can become relatable to all audiences.

Each teacher has his or her own method of teaching. No one teacher teaches the same way as another. These methods are manifested in a teacher’s education philosophy, or “the principles that guide professional action.”(Parkay, 2015, p.114) A teacher creates his or her philosophy by examining his/her beliefs in a variety of categories, like what a teacher’s role should be, what a student’s role should be, and what should be taught. When the teacher has thoroughly examined his/her educational…

Why are we alive? What is our purpose here on earth? Is the soul immortal? These questions seem inevitable in philosophy. The subject itself depends on the topic of reality. Everything on this planet is present because of a certain meaning it holds and a certain purpose it will have on an individual’s life. In this paper, I will use the help of great philosopher’s such as Plato, Radhakrishnan, McCloskey, etc. to better understand the concepts of reality. Each one of them had a different style in…

Philosophy has 3, and to some philosophers, 4 main branches: Ethics, Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Logic.…
Philosophy has many different definitions as well as applications, however seems to be an area of study concentrated on critiquing and understanding the many questions of the world as well as human behavior. Although the focus on human behavior may cause one to consider philosophy a part of psychology, there are many distinctions. Alongside studies such as biology, psychology has a more definite and concrete method of study. For instance, although both analyze human nature, psychology…
Plato and Aristotle’s political philosophies are deeply based in their ontology, epistemology, and metaphysical philosophies. In this way, these philosophers’ differing views on the fitness of rule has an origin in their differing views in these more primary philosophies. As a result, in this essay, I will argue that Plato’s justification for rule by his philosopher kings on account of these philosophers’ inherently reason-governed souls that can understand the forms, especially the form of the…
