    INTRODUCTION TO

    PHILOSOPHY, LOGIC
    AND HUMAN EXISTENCE
    Is thinking.
    Is critical thinking.
    Is deep thinking.
    sequential thinking.
    Concise thinking.
     Man in action.
     Man the thinker.

     Man the subjective being.


     Philosophy derives from the Greek
    words “Philo” and “Sophia” which
    are interpreted as love for wisdom.
    Man here is seen involved in
    seeking for knowledge in order to
    solve problems encountered in his
    day to day living. This definition
    derives from etymology.
     Philosophy is the theoretical vision,
    mirror, illuminant, road map, signpost
    that guides a person’s actions. It is the
    guiding principle that propels every man
    into action, no matter his field of study
    or religion. Examples include “the end
    justifies the means”, “do unto others as
    you want them do to you” “whatever
    will be will be”, etc.
     Is that which motivates a person to ask
    pertinent questions about life with the
    intent to discover the way forward. For
    instance is it possible for an infant to
    remain so forever, what is the
    implication of such a situation, where
    did man originate from, what is his
    destination after death, cannot man
    choose when to die. etc.
     Is the rigorous rational inquiry into
    the nature and meaning of reality. Is
    reality beyond what is seen, smelt,
    heard, tasted and felt? Which is
    more real – the seen or unseen?
    How does one see the unseen, how
    does one know that he knows?
     Is thought after thought or a second
    order course as it ventures beyond
    the limit of other disciplines. While
    other subjects are after the “how,
    where, what, who and when
    philosophy proceeds to ask ‘why”.
