Branches of Philosophy
This document outlines several major branches and traditions of philosophy. It discusses metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology as the three main branches of philosophy that explore the nature of reality, knowledge, and values respectively. Some of the major traditions covered include idealism, realism, neo-Thomism, pragmatism, and existentialism along with their key proponents and perspectives in each of the three branches. Analytic philosophy is also briefly discussed as seeking to clarify and define philosophical concepts and their relationship to science.
Axiology
Axiology is the philosophical study of value. It examines ethics, which investigates concepts of right and wrong conduct, and aesthetics, which studies beauty and harmony. There are two main types of ethical theories: consequentialism, where right and wrong are determined by consequences, and deontology, where motivation determines morality regardless of consequences. Axiology also examines different types of values like material values relating to necessities and spiritual values involving truth, goodness, and beauty. It provides an objective framework for measuring intangible attitudes and values.
Rationalism
Rationalism holds that reason, rather than sensory experience, is the primary source of knowledge. Rationalists believe that through abstract reasoning, certain innate or a priori truths about reality can be discovered independently of empirical observation. René Descartes is considered the original archetype of rationalism, proposing that only clear and distinct ideas obtained through reason can be accepted as true. Rationalism encompasses views that reality has an inherent logical structure that can be understood through proper deduction, and that some concepts and knowledge are innate to the human mind from birth.

It also outlines different areas of philosophy including theoretical philosophy which examines metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics as well as the importance, functions, and meaning of philosophy.
Analytical philosophy
Analytic philosophy began in the early 20th century with philosophers like Bertrand Russell, G.E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein who believed that philosophy should use logical analysis to attain conceptual clarity and be consistent with science. They focused on analyzing language and rejecting grand philosophical systems in favor of close logical examination. Early analytic philosophy developed logical positivism which used formal logic to analyze philosophical propositions, and later shifted to ordinary language philosophy which examined everyday usage. While its specific methods have changed, analytic philosophy is still characterized by precision and thorough examination of narrow topics.

Epistemology
Epistemology is the study of knowledge and justified belief. It investigates how knowledge is acquired and relates to concepts like truth, belief, and justification. There are two main theories of knowledge acquisition: empiricism, which holds that all knowledge comes from sensory experience; and rationalism, which believes knowledge is gained through reasoning alone rather than experience. Epistemology seeks to understand the nature, scope, and limits of human knowledge.
Rationalism
This document discusses the philosophy of rationalism. Rationalism holds that reason, rather than sensory experience, is the primary source of knowledge. It emerged in the 17th century through philosophers like Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, who believed that certain truths could be known intuitively or deduced logically without empirical evidence. The core theses of rationalism are that some knowledge comes from intuition, some concepts are innate rather than learned, or that we have innate knowledge from God. While rationalism dominated on the continent, empiricism was more influential in Britain. Later, Kant sought to reconcile rationalism and empiricism.
western Philosophy
- Greek philosophy began with the Pre-Socratic period, including early philosophers like Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes who attempted to explain the universe through singular elements like water or air.
- Additional early philosophers included Heraclitus, who believed in constant change, and the atomists Leucippus and Democritus, who were the first to theorize that matter was made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
- Socrates disagreed with the Sophists' teachings and used questioning to help students discover ethical truths for themselves, influencing both Plato and Aristotle, two of the most important Greek philosophers.
Paper 1
This document discusses the relationship between philosophy and education. It defines philosophy as the study of fundamental problems regarding existence, knowledge, truth, values, and more. Philosophy asks questions about the nature of reality, human existence, knowledge, and ethics. The key branches of philosophy discussed are metaphysics (study of existence), epistemology (study of knowledge), and axiology (study of values). Education is defined as the process of facilitating learning and acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. The document explores how philosophy influences education through its perspectives on the nature of knowledge, learning, and values education aims to promote.
Rationalism
Rationalism holds that reason, rather than sensory experience, is the primary source of knowledge. Key rationalist philosophers include Descartes, who believed that clear and distinct ideas derived through reason are certain, while sensory experiences could be deceiving. He argued that we can understand concepts like polygons through reasoning rather than just senses. Later rationalists like Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle emphasized using logic and reasoning to derive truths. In architecture, rationalism sees the field as a science that can be understood through rational principles, as first proposed by Vitruvius. It was an influential movement in early 20th century Italy and again in the late 1960s.

Pragmatism
- Pragmatism originated in the United States in the 1870s and was developed by classical pragmatists like Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. It evaluates assertions based on their practical consequences and bearing on human interests.
- As a basis for education, pragmatism opposes predetermined curriculums and objectives. Values are seen as instrumental and evolving rather than fixed.
- The core idea of pragmatism is the pragmatist maxim, which clarifies hypotheses by tracing their practical consequences. For Peirce and James, this was applied to the concept of truth.
2 Aristotle Logic
The document summarizes Aristotle's contributions to logic, including his establishment of the three basic laws of logic: the law of identity, the law of non-contradiction, and the law of the excluded middle. It also describes Aristotle's invention of the syllogism as a tool for logical reasoning and his categorization of syllogisms based on whether premises affirm or deny something universally or particularly.
The beginnings of philosophy
This document discusses the origins and early developments of philosophy in Ancient Greece. It begins by explaining how the Greeks moved away from explaining the world through myths and began inquiring into the fundamental nature of reality through reason and logic. The first philosophers, known as the Pre-Socratics, sought to understand the basic substances and principles of the natural world. Key figures discussed include Thales, who is considered the first philosopher; Anaximander; Anaximenes; Pythagoras, who believed numbers were fundamental to reality; Heraclitus and his doctrine of constant change; Parmenides' view that only one eternal substance exists; and Zeno, who developed paradoxes about motion and change.
