BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:
Philosophical method (or philosophical methodology) is the study of how to do philosophy. A
common view among philosophers is that philosophy is distinguished by the ways that philosophers follow
in addressing philosophical questions. There is not just one method that philosophers use to answer
philosophical questions.
Truth in metaphysics and the philosophy of language is the property of sentences, assertions, beliefs,
thoughts, or propositions that are said, in ordinary discourse, to agree with the facts or to state what the case
is. It is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or standard.
Facts are propositions or statement which are observe to be real or truthful.
Claim is a statement that is not evidently or immediately known to be true. This meansthat any
claim can be proven by verification and experimentation.

Pythagoras (570 BCE to 495 BCE)- A mathematician and scientist, he was credited with formulating the
Pythagorean theorem.
Heraclitus (535 BCe to 475 BCE)- He proposed that everything that exists is based on a higher order
or plan which he called logos.
Democritus (460 BCE to 370 BCE)- He devoted himself to the study of the causes of natural
phenomena.
Diogenes of Sinope (412 BCE to 323 BCE)- He was a known advocate of living a simple and virtuous
life.
Epicurus (341 BCE to 270 BCE)- He believed that philosophy could enable man to live a life of
happiness.
Socrates (470 BCE to 399 BCE)- He was considered the foremost philosophers of ancient times. He
was credited with formulating the Socratic method- means of examining a topic by devising a series of
questions that let the learner examine and analyze his knowledge and views regarding the topic.
Plato (427 BCE to 347 BCE)- A student of Socrates, he wrote down his mentor’s teaching and
incorporated some of his own ideas into them. Plato’s most significant ideas included his Theory of Forms,
which proposes that everything that exist is based on an idea or template than can only be perceived in the
mind. Plato is also known for his dialectic- a method of inquiry where two opposing ideas are discussed in
an attempt to arrive at new knowledge. Plato’s lasting contribution to learning was his founding of the
Academy, an institution of higher learning.
Aristotle (384 BCE to 322 BCE)- He attended the Academy, and was the prominent student of Plato.
For him, all ideas and views are based on perception and our reality is based on what we can sense and
perceive. His studies in logic led to the formulation of a formal process of analyzing reasoning which give
rise to deductive reasoning-the process by which specific statements are analysed to reach a conclusion or
generalization.

Philosophy that can appropriately address the issue at hand.

amount of resources that we demand affects environmental condition. Increasing our
demand raises the pressure on environment. Conversely, the condition of environment
influences the quality of life that we have. An environment in good condition sustains life.
While degraded environment brings forth social problems. What kind of treatment should
we accord to the environment that supplies our needs then?

Case 1
The branch of Philosophy that can best explain case 1 is Ethics. It is understood that environment is the primary
provider of our basic needs. The way we treat our environment has a repercussion on the amount and quality of
resources we get from it. Therefore, it is an issue of whether our behavior towards our environment is good or not.
Case 2
The branch of Philosophy that can best explain case 2 is Metaphysics. One task of
Metaphysics is to account for unreal thing in terms of what is real. The phenomenon on
teenage pregnancies manifest the behavior of the doer adhering to the practice of one’s
freedom. Freedom purports to an idea and becomes impractical with the absence of
responsibility.
