Holistic Vs Partial Point of View

Background Information for Learners

The Heuristic theory of holistic perspective is about seeing and understanding.not

only what is out there in the material world. We are also be aware in what is happening
inside ourselves and others - in our minds and bodies and how this relates to all around us.

People tend to apply an analytic perspective when looking at problems or situations.

For instance, doctors often focus on a specific set of symptoms to determine the cause of a
patient’s illness. Once a particular cause has been identified, the doctor then prescribes the
appropriate medicine and other treatments to address the illness. In the case of a person
who experiences a stomach ache, a doctor may prescribe the appropriate medicine that will
address the physical cause of the problem.

A holistic perspective however requires the doctor to look at the “big picture” and
view the patient’s illness as an aspect of his or her lifestyle and personal circumstances.
When using this perspective, a doctor may be able to identify other underlying causes of the
illness. The doctor can interview the patient and get an idea of his or her habits and lifestyle
may lead to discovery that fatigue and stress may be the factors that cause the illness.
Knowing this the doctor can advise the patient to make changes in his or her habits to
reduce stress and eventually improve his or her well-being.

Holistic perspective suggests that we can only understand the parts when we view
them in relation to the whole while partial perspective suggests that we only understand one
component part of the whole.

before deciding to scold the student.

Holism comes from the Greek word "holos" which literally means all, entire, totality.
Holism is a school of thought that maintains the interdependence of factors to another
agencies of causalities. Holistic perspective is a kind of system that aims to determine
and explain the whole or totality of a given system by examining the behaviors and activities
of certain component parts while in philosophy, a point of view is defined as a way or a
method how one sees or perceives the reality or a phenomenon.

A partial point of view is a perspective that looks at reality based on a single or

partial component of a system whereas the holistic perspective tries to broaden the
understanding of reality by taking considerations of other possible causal agents or factors
be it biological, theological or any other factors that may contribute in understanding a
certain phenomenon. Holism is widely used in research as one of the many research
methods. Often, holism is used in anthropology wherein an anthropologist can begin to see
interrelationship or correlation of different components of a culture.
For example, when one researcher conducts an inquiry on the reason why Filipinos
celebrate fiesta based on the religious aspect of it, the point of view is partial since it only
considered one causal factor and did not include other possible factors like sociological,
political and historical.

LEARNING ACTVITY SHEET

Value of Doing Philosophy

Background Information

Philosophy is generally defined as love of wisdom or the knowledge of things

in general by their ultimate causes, so for as reason attain to such knowledge. It is a
comprehensive and critical study and analysis of experience. Whether it is consciously,
deliberately and rationally adopted on conviction or consciously or unconsciously followed
in life through faith or persuasion, every man constructs for himself a fundamental
philosophy as the basis of life, a theory of the relation to the world and the individual, and
this shapes his whole attitude to life. Study and Learn
Doing Philosophy can be applied in day-to-day activities and life perspectives,
because it involves evaluative process. Doing philosophy allows a person to make better
decisions and act accordingly to situations with the help of various philosophical skills.
Philosophy as a body of knowledge provides methodologies and insights on how
societal questions, such as moral dilemmas of euthanasia or same-sex marriage, can be
answered.
The process of doing philosophy should NOT be mistaken for the Filipino activity of
PAMIMILOSOPO or pedantry where a person displays useless knowledge or minute
observance of small details.
Four reasons why philosophy is as relevant as ever.
1. Philosophy is the foundation of critical thinking.
➢ It brings the important questions to the table and work towards an answer. It
encourages us to think critically about the world. It is the foundation of all knowledge and
when utilized properly can provide us with huge benefits.
2. Science cannot answer every question.
➢ Science helps us live longer, whereas philosophy helps us live better. It is striving
towards figuring out what is true and worthwhile, and what it means to live a meaningful
and worthwhile life.

Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times. 8

 3. Philosophy has meaning in the business world.
➢ It explains that anyone who wants to succeed in a challenging, leading position in
business, public administration, politics, or the wider society needs a crucial set of skills.
Examples: check the consistency and soundness of policy paper, decide which
problems are crucial and identify issues that are still misunderstood.
4. Ancient philosophers continue to influence humanity.
➢ Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle laid the foundations of Western culture,
and their ideas and insights still dictate essential features of our world from what we eat
to what we see on the internet. Confucius on the other hand had influenced China’s
modern government.

Song/Artist Question/Lines
1. Noypi by “Hoy Pinoy ako! Buo We Filipinos are known to be resilient.
BAMBOO aking loob, May agimat Even in times of strong calamity and in
ang dugo ko” this time of pandemic we never fail to
show the world that we remain to have
positive outlook in life. Not even COVID-
19 can take the Bayanihan spirit and
unwavering faith of Filipinos.

 2. Sound of “No one dared disturbed In this time of pandemic, the world is
Silence by the sound of silence” completely in silence. Streets are empty,
SIMON & people are confined at home and traveling
GARFUNKEL becomes the last thing in our minds. We
listen to silent screams of our front liners
and to all the victims of COVID-19. In a
split of a second the world adapts to the
new normal and no one dared to question
it for this is what we need. We need to
shut our world from the busy lifestyle that
we used to have. We refrain from
complaining and instead comply, for us to
heal as one.

3. Vincent by “They would not listen; We are living in a permissive society

they’r
DON e not listening still. where everyone can post and share how
MCLEAN Perhaps they never will” they are feeling but it leads us also to a
point where insensitivity to others prevails
instead of kind words. People bash and
trolls threat one another. Endless harsh
comments are thrown in different social
media platforms. We failed to listen to one
another. We failed to empathize, and we
just want to be heard without realizing that
we too need to listen.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

A Philosophical Reflection

Background Information
Have you realized of what you want in life? Have you ever found yourself
wondering about the things you experienced or where your life is headed? As we grow
older, our questions are influenced by our experiences and circumstances and we call
that philosophical reflection that we define it as the process by which a person
undergoes a reflective state or evaluates his or her experiences first before making any
related action. The use of philosophical reflection is important as it enables thought to
be investigated using a deeper, holistic perspective. In effect, actions are directed
towards greater sources of wisdom and truth.

A big part of living is spent pondering many questions, and our lives become
more meaningful because we search for answers to these innumerable questions. This
is the essence of philosophy-the search for answers to life’s questions.
Human Activities Emanated from Deliberate Reflection
1. Learning from your previous mistakes and not repeating them again.
2. Evaluating and knowing the best choice from a set of options.
3. Gaining a holistic point of view first before making any conclusion.
4. Gather more information before arriving into a final judgment.
5. Eliminate all negative choices before deciding something.

Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times. 16

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Opinion from Truth

Background Information
Today, we encounter a lot of information from various sources such as the
media and our interactions with friends, family, and members of the community.
Most of them is helpful, but some may mislead or may even be utterly false. How
can we distinguish opinion from truth?
Most of the time there are statements presented to you in readings or perhaps
in speaking engagements. You are asked to listen that based on facts and opinions.
Reading materials or speeches tend to have interwoven statements as either fact or
opinion wherein your critical skill is called to sort which is true from those set of beliefs
or ideas.
However, there are philosophical grounds to which fact and opinion should be
critically analyzed. Take for example John Corvino’s Three Distinction of opinion and
truth:
1.Belief and Reality Distinction
Reality is unarguably seen and felt by the human senses. Whereas, belief is a
by-product or a manifestation of any reality.

For example: Your reality right now is your being a student enrolled in a certain
curriculum. There can be several beliefs system that can thrive out from that reality:
Finishing academic year with either outstanding grades or just passing remarks.
Graduating with honors or graduating simply as an ordinary graduate.

2. Subjective and Objective Distinction

Perspective is what makes fact as possibly an opinion or opinion as potentially a
fact. This can vary according to one’s experience and position making judgment as
either subjective or objective. What makes your viewpoint subjective is when you rely
so much on your perception as dictated by your mind. And when something appears to
you objectively that means there are reasons outside of the mind that make the thing
true.

Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times.

24
 A. Descriptive and Normative Distinction (shuttlestock.com)
How any experience is labelled depends on their representations from
the world. There is such a thing we call Descriptive statements which simply
narrates what happens, while there are the Normative statements which
evaluate the events according to the perspective of people, a certain culture
and law.
For example, in a certain class the teacher observes cheating to be
rampant which is basically a wrong doing (Descriptive), but, with the group of
students doing the act they might reason out that the act is for their greater
good(Normative).

A fact is a statement that can be proven An opinion expresses someone’s belief,
true. feeling, view, idea, or judgment about
something or someone
Statements that can be verified. Statements that express a writer’s

A fact generally refers to something An opinion refers to a personal belief.
that is true and can be verified as such. It relates to how someone feels about
something. Others may agree or
disagree with an opinion, but they
cannot prove or disprove it. This is
what defines it as opinion.
Facts speak for their own truth. Opinion may use descriptive language
to appeal to your emotions and sway
your thinking.
Questions to Identify Facts: Words to Identify Opinions:
1. Can the statement be proven or 1. Biased Words (bad, worse, worst,
better
demonstrated to be true? good, , best, worthwhile,
2. Can the statement be observed in worthless, etc.)
practice or operation? Can you see it 2. Qualifiers (all, always, likely, never,

in the found essay about Global warming (please refer to references)

Global Warming is a term almost everyone is familiar with. But its meaning is
still not clear to most of us. So, Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the
overall temperature of the atmosphere of the Earth. There are various activities
taking place which have been increasing the temperature gradually. Global
warming is melting our ice glaciers rapidly. This is extremely harmful to the earth
as well as humans. It is quite challenging to control global warming; however, it is
not unmanageable. The first step in solving any problem is identifying the cause
of the problem. Therefore, we need to first understand the causes of global
warming that will help us proceed further in solving it. In this essay on Global
Warming, we will see the causes and solutions of Global Warming.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY
OF HUMAN PERSON
Name of Learner: ____________________________Grade Level: _______
Section: ____________________________________Date: ____________

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Methods of Philosophy
Background Information for Learners
Philosophy brings the human person to a level of thinking and/or expression
that develops wisdom and further learning. When you failed, for the first time, you
then realized what made you fail; and so, the next time you are faced with a similar
situation, you already know better how to approach it in order to succeed. And when
you reach that stage of philosophy, you are building up on wisdom. Wisdom is the
application of knowledge. There are four different methods of philosophizing namely,
logic, existentialism, analytic tradition, and phenomenology.

1. Logic in simple words, is the art and science of correct thinking.

“The study of truths based completely on the meanings of the terms
they contain.”
The foundation of a logical argument is its proposition, or statement.
The proposition is either accurate (true) or not accurate (false).
Premises are the propositions used to build the
argument. The argument is then built on premises.
Then an inference is made from the
premises. Finally, a conclusion is drawn.

1. Existentialism is a philosophical view that assert the individuality of any

human person making him free to make choices of what he is and what he
can become. This means that you students are unique and would most likely
have a future that is true to your own person and not what is being dictated by
your parent nor your friends. At what Jean-Paul Sartre says, “Freedom is the
identity of man.”
Existentialism teaches one enjoy freedom but with due responsibility on
what is wrong and is right. Through this method, you can discover more sets
of truth without any limitations. As a man who has freedom you must put to
mind that you are accountable of your choices and decision in life.
2. Analytic Philosophy states that, “assumption of truth only becomes true
after it shall have gone through validation, experimentation or any scientific
approach for that matter.
Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times.
31
 In school setting for example, there are questions teachers ask that may elicit
different responses, but there is only one definite correct answer and this answer is
usually supported by a concept or a theory which is a product of scientific process.
Analytic Philosophy teaches you that it’s not how you see things and how you
perceive them, but how they are processed through rigorous and valid methods.
Hence, exact truth is seen in the lens of due scientific process. In life, you must
remember that truth is accompanied with process.

3. Phenomenology brings varied perceptions over a thing to a common end

that certain things no matter how different the perspective of people towards it
due to their experiences would receive justification to its being.

For example, in this image you may look at it as half full, some
look at it as half empty. This thing may appear in different perspectives. In
applying phenomenology, one must go back to its original meaning or “thing-
in-it-self” (according to Encyclopedia) that is simply a glass of water.
Things may appear to you in different ways. Yet, what is important is to
see its essence. This phenomenological way brings you to the essence of
anything. Hence, also see the importance of the things that you encounter for
there is always essential meaning why things exist.
For you to make use of logic a tool in understanding complex proposition
presented in statements or texts, you may use two types of reasoning:
A. Deductive Reasoning
There are usually complex thoughts we encounter, and it takes a hard time to
understand what is expressed in it. But with the help of deductive reasoning
we can chunk the entire thought into smaller units to arrive at a simpler
presentation.
Examples
Premises: All Teachers are smart people. Some smart people are studious.
Conclusion: Some smart people are teachers.
Premises: All students are kind. Pedro is a student.
Conclusion: Pedro is kind.
B. Inductive Logic
Inductive reasoning - there are presentations of statements or ideas wherein its
specific details come first before generalizations are being laid. In this case, use
bottom up approach in trying to understand the concept. "bottom up," meaning
that it takes specific information and makes a broad generalization that is

Note: Practice personal hygiene protocol at all times.

32
 considered probable, allowing for the fact that the conclusion may not be
accurate.
Examples
Premises: Peru is a drunkard. Lucky is one of the brothers of Peru.
Conclusion: In this case, you could use inductive reasoning to offer an opinion
that it was probably Lucky, and his other brothers are also drunkard.
Explanation: The probability of your assumption may not necessarily be true
for lucky and his other brothers might have different priority in terms of
drinking liquor.
Premises: Going to public places increases high possibility to acquire COVID-
19. Rose goes to the market every day.
Conclusion: Therefore, Rose is COVID-19 infected.
Explanation: The probability of your assumption may not necessarily be true
for Rose might follow the proper protocol.
Logic allows you to think accordingly about anything, making your reasoning correct,
and removing any possible bias that influence your judgement. Through this method
of philosophizing you will be critically capable of weighing what is probable and what
is true. When applied to life, this will allow good consequences and benefits.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Truth from Opinions

Background Information

There is a classic joke or conversation in an unknown logic class of an

atheist teacher. Atheist is a person who rejects or does not believe in God.

Teacher: Juan, do you believe in God?

Juan: Yes Sir.
Teacher: Juan, have you seen God?
Juan: Not yet Sir?
Teacher: Juan, to see, is to believe. If you have not seen God, therefore,
there is no God. (nobody is speaking in class then after a while)

Juan: May I ask you Sir?

Teacher: Yes Juan.
Juan: Have you seen your brain Sir?
Teacher: No?
Juan: Classmates, let’s go home, our teacher do not have brain.
If you laugh, maybe you find it as a joke. But if you try to answer the
questions “is Juan right in his judgment about his teacher?” than you may find
another emotional response. Studying the arguments may bring twist to the
story from a joke to conversation that carries lesson depending in your method
of philosophizing.
Remember, methods of philosophy differ from the methods of
philosophizing. Methods of philosophy is a systematic way that helps in
learning the process of doing philosophy while methods of philosophizing is to
think or express of oneself in a philosophical manner. As human, discerning
truth and opinion helps us see things more purposeful in our daily life.

This Learning Activity Sheet will guide you in evaluating truth from opinion
in the different situation using the different methods of philosophizing that will
enable you to:
a) apply the Socratic Method of Philosophizing.
b) evaluate fallacies in the arguments.
c) determine biases; and
d) evaluate opinion.

The Philippines’ Pandemic Response: A Tragedy of Errors

By Michael Beltran
May 12, 2020

The Duterte administration’s COVID-19 response marries incompetence

with militarism.

The Philippine government has been boasting that as early as March 16, they
had the gumption to implement a lockdown in major cities and provinces in response
to the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. However, Manila’s overall response to the
pandemic has been fraught with incompetence and rife with terror. …

The whole world is looking forward to a return to some semblance of normalcy.

But what makes the Philippine government one of the worst examples of handling the
pandemic is its incompetence married with militarism threaded throughout its
responses. The backlash facing Filipinos now and after the quarantine is quite a
distressing picture. It is a bleak one marred by a totalitarian streak and the people’s
increased realization that the state is more intent on filling jails and the pockets of
Chinese businesses than starving stomachs.
Michael Beltran is a freelance journalist from the Philippines.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

The Human Person as an Embodied Spirit

Background Information for Learners
“There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.” as cited by
Napoleon Hill.
We, the human persons, are the highest form of animals created by God with intellect
and free will. But our knowledge, abilities, skills, talents, and capabilities have its own
limitations because we are only humans. In the succeeding activities, we are going to
evaluate our limitations for us to be aware of it and know what to do and not to do.

Transcendent means beyond the limits of possible experience. In Kantianism, it is

beyond human knowledge (Wikipedia). According to Mike Colagrossi, transcendence
refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness,
behaving and relating, as ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to
human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and to the cosmos.”

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

By Saul McLeod, updated March 20, 2020

Note: Practice personal hygiene protocols at all times .

54
 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a
five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can
attend to needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs
are physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
