THIS ABOUT THE HUMAN COINS

1. Philosophy of the
Human Person

3. Philosophy
Traditionally philosophy is defined as love of
wisdom because it came from two
Greek words philos (love) and Sophia (wisdom).
You might find it strange to connect
love to philosophy. You might think of philosophy
as a purely intellectual discipline
which has nothing to do with love.

4. ORIGIN OF
PHILOSOPHY
Greece is the birthplace of
philosophy in the West. To be
more
precise it is the ancient Greek
city of Miletus in the Western
coast
of what is now Turkey that gave
birth to philosophy.

5. Thales
Thales is
the Father of Philosophy in the
Western civilization. He lived
between 624 and 546 BCE a
contemporary of the Lydian king
Croesus and the statesman Solon
(Stumpf and Fieser,2008).

6. What made Thales a philosopher is his desire to know the
ultimate stuff that makes up the different things we
perceived. You see when we look at the world we encounter
different things: people, trees, clouds, mountains, rivers, etc.
Now Thales believed that despite the different things we
encounter there is one underlying stuff or substance in
which everything is composed. He believes that there is One
in the Many. Thales was the first individual who tried to
reduce the multiplicity in to a unity (Jones,1969).

7. “What is the ultimate stuff of the
universe?”
First in terms of scope philosophy involves
the widest generalizations
Second philosophy is all about
fundamentals
Third philosophy is driven by the desire to
integrate things
