Philosophical Inquiry Part 1

The document discusses philosophical inquiry and can be categorized into two parts. Formal philosophy is academic and sophisticated, while informal philosophy is ordinary. Philosophical inquiry involves questioning fundamental issues that arise in everyday life and other disciplines. It is both ontological, concerning concepts of being, existence and reality, and pragmatic, emphasizing practical application of ideas through human experience. Inquiry means integrating experience as a responsible agent through interactive processes with the external world. The three steps of inquiry are reacting to problems while considering future impacts, being aware of past habits' inadequacies, and recognizing uncertainty as a positive quality calling for inquiry.

PHILOSOPHICAL

INQUIRY PART 1
PHILOSOPHY CAN CATEGORIZED INTO
AT LEAST TWO DEPARTMENT.
• FORMAL PHILOSOPHY – Is fundamentally academic
and sophisticated.
• INFORMAL PHILOSOPHY – Us fundamentally ordinary
and sophomoric.

FORMAL PHILOSOPHY CAN BE FURTHER CATEGORIZE


INTO TWO DEPARTMENTS!
1. THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY
2. PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY
PHILOSOPHY AS A
DESCIPLINE OF
QUESTIONING
• PHILOSOPHY IS THE SYSTEMATIC
AND CRITICAL STUDY OF
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS THAT
ARISE BOTH IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND
THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF OTHER
DISCIPLINES. SOME OF THIS
QUESTION CONCERN THE NATURE.
PHILOSOPHICAL INQURY IS
ONTOLOGICAL PRAGMATISM
ONTOLOGICAL – It studies concepts that directly relate to being in
particular becoming, existence, reality, as well as the basic categories
of being and their relations.

PRAGMATISM – Emphasizes the practical application of ideas by


acting on them to actual test then in human experiences.

WHAT DOES INQUIRY MEAN?


It is man’s effort to integrate his experience as responsible agent. By
experience we mean the interactive process itself, that is, the human
self dynamic relation with the whole range of the other.
Three steps in
inquiry
1.Man must react and respond to
the external problems around
him, keeping in mind that his
responses will have impact to
both the present as well as to the
future.
2.Man must be aware of the
inadequacies of past habits
which give rise o hesitancy
and uncertainly.
3.Man must be aware of
uncertainty. The uncertainty is a
positive and pervasive quality of
the interactive process itself. It is
this incoherence which calls for
inquiry. The unsureness of an
action is not private and subjective,
nor is it merely negative. It is an all-
embracing situation between man
and his environment.
