Philosophy

1. Philosophical Points of
View about Reality and
Knowledge
(PLATO AND SOCRATES)

2. Plato
Reality:
Reality has two levels: the World of
Senses (changing) and the World of
Forms (perfect, eternal).

3. Knowledge:
True knowledge comes from
reason, not senses.
Learning is recollection of the soul’s
knowledge.

4. 1. Idealism – Reality is based on ideas and thoughts, not only on physical things.
2. Theory of Forms – The ultimate reality is the perfect Forms that are eternal and unchanging.
3. Dualism – Reality is divided into two: the world of senses (changing) and the world of Forms (perfect and eternal).
4. Recollection Theory – Learning is simply remembering knowledge that the soul already had before birth.
5. Immortality of the Soul – The soul never dies and continues to exist even after the body’s death.
6. Rationalism – Reason and intellect are the main sources of true knowledge, not the senses. Plato: Points Of Views

5. Socrates
Reality:
Reality is linked to virtue, justice, and goodness.
Living a moral life is more important than material
things.

6. Knowledge:
Wisdom starts with knowing one’s ignorane.

7. Philosophical Points of View:
Ethics-focused philosophy – goal is to live a good life.
Virtue as knowledge – to know the good is to do the good.
Socratic Method – questioning to reach truth.
Moral Wisdom – true wisdom is seeking virtue.
Self-knowledge – “Know th yself.”
The Unexamined Life – life without reflection is not worth living.

8. Quick Recall:
Plato = Idealism, Forms, Dualism, Recollection,
Immortal Soul, Rationalism
Socrates = Ethics, Virtue as knowledge, Socratic
Method, Self-knowledge, Wisdom, Examined life

9. INDUCTION TO THE
PHILOSOPHY OF THE
HUMAN PERSON

10. Induction of the Philosophy of the Human Person:
Intersubjectivity
Intersubjectivity refers to the shared understanding
and mutual recognition of experiences and
meanings between individuals. It’s central to how
humans connect and communicate, forming the
foundation of relationships and social reality.

11. Martin Buber: The Philosophy of
Dialogue
Martin Buber’s philosophy
emphasizes the I-Thou
relationship, where genuine
human connection occurs when
one person sees another as a
whole being, not as an object. In
contrast, the I-It relationship is
more transactional and
impersonal.

12. Two Types of Intersubjectivity:
1. Simple Awareness of the Existence of the Other
This refers to the basic recognition that others exist,
acknowledging their presence without necessarily
engaging deeply with their inner world.

13. 2. Awareness of the Self as Seen by Others
This type involves understanding that others
perceive us, shaping how we see ourselves and
how we act in social settings.

14. The
Plan
What Characterizes a Genuine
Human Interaction?A genuine human interaction happens
when people communicate with honesty
and sincerity. It is characterized by
empathy, respect, and active listening.
Through this, individuals build meaningful
connections and stronger relationships.

15. Aspects of Intersubjectivity:
1. Empathy
Empathy is the ability to deeply understand and share
another person's feelings or perspective, fostering
emotional connection and mutual understanding.

16. Availability refers to being present and receptive to
others, being open to their experiences, and
showing a willingness to engage in meaningful
relationships. 2. Availability

17. 3. Ethics of Care
The ethics of care emphasizes responsibility and
compassion, prioritizing the well-being of others and
fostering nurturing, supportive interactions in relationships.

18. Examples of Intersubjectivity: 1. Helen Keller
Helen Keller’s story demonstrates
the power of empathy and human
connection despite physical barriers.
Through the deep, intersubjective
relationship with her teacher, Anne
Sullivan, Keller was able to
communicate and understand the
world in profound ways.

19. 2. Nicholas James Vujicic
Born without limbs, Nick Vujicic’s
life exemplifies the strength of
the human spirit. His ability to
connect with others through
empathy, sharing his
experiences of overcoming
challenges, is a powerful
example of intersubjectivity in
action.

20. 3. Roselle Ambubuyog
Roselle Ambubuyog, a blind and
deaf individual who excelled
academically, shows how
intersubjective communication
allows people to transcend
limitations, proving that with support
and empathy, one can build
meaningful connections and
achieve great things.
