Question to the class:

How do you understand the statement of


Socrates when he said that

“the unexamined life is not worth living.”?

Philosophy
This is what doing philosophy is all about.

We do not simply accept what has been handed on to us.


We ask questions why things, practices, tradition, beliefs,
presumptions, and even our prejudices are this way.

We are invited to develop the Art of Questioning


introduced by Socrates which is called Elenchus.

It is a continuous process of questioning and answering


until we arrive at the truth.

We have to develop this way of thinking


because reality is basically complex.

FINAL WORD

Truth is the ultimate object of knowledge.

Philosophy is absolutely committed to the truth, “the


whole truth and nothing but the truth.” Hence, truth is
being shown and practiced by a man of wisdom. Now,
if philosophy means love of wisdom, to philosophize,
therefore, is to be in quest, or to have a desire towards
loving and living the truth (Babor, 2007)
