PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy is the study of fundamental
questions about existence, knowledge,
values, reason, and beauty.
LOGIC
-The study of existence, reality, and the
nature of the universe. It asks questions
about what is truly real and what things
fundamentally are.
Example:
Remuel wonders, "Is my dream from
last night just the result of random
nerves firing in my brain, or does it have
a deeper meaning?"
-The study of moralitywhat is right and
wrong. Ethics explores what makes actions
justifiable and how people should behave.
Example:
Ramos faces a dilemma: Should he tell his
friend the truth about being left out of a group
chat, or is it better to lie to avoid hurting their
feelings?
- The study of reasoning and
arguments. It focuses on distinguishing
valid arguments from faulty ones.
Example:
Mark debates with friends about
climate change. He asks, "If all
scientists agree on this, doesnt that
make the argument logically valid?"
- The study of knowledge and belief
how we know what we know and
what justifies our beliefs.
Example:
Julia is preparing for an exam and
asks herself, "How can I be certain
Ive studied enough? What if
everything I know turns out to be
wrong on the test?"
- The study of beauty, art, and taste. It
examines what makes something
beautiful or pleasing.
Example :
Michael visits an art gallery and
wonders, "Why do I find abstract art
beautiful, but others just see random
shapes?"
