FIRST DISCUSSION- INTRO TO PHILOSOPHY

our subject actually philosophy started 500 years prior to the birth of Christ it started in a place called Athens. The
philosopher coined that to us Pythagoras when he was asked by the king in one of courtesy calls he was asked by
the king “what brought you to my kingdom?” said i'm here to look for students to learn from me so he was
askedyou must be very intelligent then. Pythagoras simply and humbly said your excellency i'm not intelligent i
am simply a philosopher i am simply a lover of wisdom so the subject matter is called PHILOSOPHY. philosophy is
a love of wisdom

okay so informal definitio in philosophy came out to etymology multi-brief history


philosophy is a science of being their ultimate causes reasons and principles
known by the aid of human reason alone is a science we all know that science is a unit of systematized knowledge
based on evidence demonstration of principles. example the science of chemistry science of chemistry discovered
that water is hydrogen and oxygen and we consider that true philosophers also when they discover that man is a
rational animal. Its also considered as true because indeed, we are all rational animals. So that knowledge is a
body now of a systematized knowledge that’s why philosophy when philosophy discovered man as a rational
animal and considered as true, that is a unit already of systematized knowledge. Now philosophy and science
studies being. Being is defined as anything that or which exists. There are3 kinds of being.

 real being that exist here and now - philosophy look around all these things are real being they exist here
and now
 ideal being-not yet existing at this moment but has potency to exist ex: no children yet but children in
future
 logical being-fabrication of the mind and outsiede mind there is no existence ex: spiderman, batman,
circle square

How are these being studied in Philosophy? They are studying intheir ulimate causes , reasons, and principles and
then the only tool philosophers use is human reason, not needle dealing ammo. Human reasons

motion kay 20 years from now the table will never be the same.
