Activity No. 8: My Never-Ending WHYs
• Philosophy encourages us to
examine our lives. By
becoming more aware of what
we believe in, we can challenge
our beliefs and change them.
Think Over:
• The act of questioning is the
starting point of Philosophy. We
must first challenge our views and
beliefs in order to achieve the truth.
Thinking philosophically also involves
studying the ideas of great thinkers.
We will develop our critical thinking
abilities while reading and
analyzing the ideas of exceptional
philosophers.
Think Over:
• What we “know” about reality may
not necessarily be how and what
reality is. There is a need to test and
check our knowledge.
• Questions are the best way to test
and check our knowledge, but
questions are overlooked,
misunderstood, and thought of as less
important than answers.
Think Over:
• Philosophy is an ever-present
reminder that you are human.
