    The Philosophical Enterprises The Philosophical Enterprises: One Thing I Know Is I Know Nothing. - Socrates

    Uploaded by

    Janelyvie Agustin
    Socrates believed that true wisdom comes from recognizing what we don't know. Philosophy begins with wonder and a love of wisdom. There are two kinds of wisdom - theoretical, which deals with necessary truths, and practical, which deals with knowledge in action. Philosophical thought can be viewed from three perspectives - cosmocentric, which wonders about the origin of the universe; theocentric, which is centered on theology; and anthropocentric, which is human-centered and arose as science developed and the church's authority declined.

    consequences.

    Philosophers.
    • The question its raises are human cocerns.
    SOCRATES
    • 3-
    • The wisdom of Socrates rests in his admission that he is
    not wise. In admitting that he knows nothing, he is wiser
    than those who claimed to know a lot of things.
    PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT IN THREE VIEWS

    • COSMOCENTRIC
    • THEOCENTRIC
    • ANTHROPOCENTRIC
    COSMOCENTRIC VIEW

     (Ancient Philosophy 600 B.C. – 600 A.D.)


    - Wondered about the world (kosmos in
    Greek)
    - “Where did all things from?”
     In Western Philosophy, it is said that the first
    among those who wondered about the origin
    of the universe was Thales (c.620-546 B.C.)from
    Miletus.
     Anaximander (c.612-545B.C.) thought that the
    water could not simply explain the hot, the
    cold, and the dry so he claimed that the answer
    must be the boundless (apeiron in Greek)
     Anaximenes (c.585-528 B.C.), said that the
    fundamental principle must be air because it
    can better account for change and for life
    SUMMA THEOLOGICA

    • The most remarkable for its exhaustive explanation


    of the Christian faith.
    • Source of the famous “five ways” of proving the
    existence of God.
    ANTHROPOCENTRIC VIEW
    • Was a result both of the rise of
    modern science and the
    diminished authority of the
    church in the seventeenth
    century.
    RATIONALISM
    • Is commited to the view that
    knowledge is acquired through
    reason independent of sense
    experience
