Introduction to Philosophy
Philosophy is defined as the love of wisdom and seeks truth through logical reasoning. It encompasses various disciplines that study different aspects of reality such as aesthetics, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, and ethics. Aesthetics examines the nature of beauty and art. Metaphysics deals with questions about the essence and existence of things and tries to build a picture of reality's structure based on reason. Philosophy helps make knowledge alive and useful, connects us to culture, and allows us to live more deeply.
Philosophy an introduction
Philosophy is defined as the science of the logical foundation of all knowledge. It aims to acquire knowledge through rational means about topics that are not empirical in nature. Philosophy distinguishes itself from other disciplines by its use of reason rather than empirical evidence or creative expression. It addresses fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, logic, ethics and other abstract concepts through various methods of philosophical inquiry.

The author's experience transitioning from empiricism to embracing approaches like Complex Instruction that engage students in collaborative problem-solving.
Curriculum, history and elements of curriculum
The document defines curriculum in several ways and discusses its history and key elements. It provides definitions from various perspectives, such as curriculum being all planned learning, the totality of a student's experiences, or a set of subjects. The history of curriculum development in the US is reviewed from colonial times through the 20th century. Basic elements of curriculum are outlined as having components like subject matter, instructional plans, goals and objectives.
