The Academy is the

first institution of

Be kind, because all the people we meet may
have battle to surpass…
Scholars and wise men
speak because they have
to say; fools speak
because they have to
speak
Music is a moral law. It
gives soul to the world,
wings to the mind, flight
to the imagination, and
charm to life and to
everything..
According to Plato, the soul is in the human
body.

The rational part is the head, the spirit is in

the upper part of the body, and the
appetite is in the central part of the body to
the heart.

he takes a different
philosophy before he
became a Christian at
the age of 35.
“Temperance is a love of giving up entirely
himself to Him and that’s the only reason;

Courage is a love that can go beyond

everything with pleasure for the sake of
Himself and that’s the only reason;
justice is love that is uniquely serve only
Him and no other reason, and

prudence is love that can make the right

decision on what prevents and what
helps. "

St. Augustine
Pray where
supposedly
everything
depends on God.

Work which seems

all depends on
you.
You must lose what ever
you have filled and you will
be filled with things that
you don’t have.

Admission of wrongdoing is
the first step to a good
cause.

A habit that, if not

prevented, is
becoming a necessity.
Ito ang
iniisip ko,
kaya ito
ako.
The mind exists.

Not far from the mind of

man, so man exists.

When in doubt someone

has doubts for him,

The work itself will doubt

the fact that he exists.
No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his
experience-John Locke
According to Locke,Even if a man has the ability to
think, it does not mean that he is using it.

Others have chosen to live in ignorance, others think

very weak, or others are slaves to their emotions which
they use their brains to understand the laws of nature.

Others chose to simply be bad because they are

accustomed to it.
Ang pinaniniwalaan ng isang matalinong
tao ay nakabase sa mga ebidensya.
Empiricism is the theory that says all
knowledge comes from the senses.

The mind is not separated from perception

The entire contents of the mind are

transmitted daily to the human condition.
 Teorya ng Bundle ni Hume
The man is a collection of
different successive
perceptions, always changing
and moving
Ang moralidad ay hindi ang doktrina ng kung paano natin
pasasayahin ang ating sarili; ito ay kung paano natin
magagawa ang ating sarili na karapat dapat na lumigaya.
The consciousness is divided into:

1. Internal Self - composed of psychological states and

informed decisions; remembering our own state, how can we
combine the new and old ideas with our mind

2. External Self - made up of ourselves and the physical world

where the representation of objects are

Looking at the perfection of things

We felt embarrassment and guilt when we have
fallen short of the high expectations.

"I made it, and so I am“

Wrong bases and problems arise on how we

give meaning and how we deliver or
how we paraphrase the words
Upang maunawaan ang isipan, kaailangang
una wain natin ang utak.
Walang espesyal tungkol sa pag-iisip. Ang
isipan ay ang utak din.
Sa mga bagay na maaaring mangyari, ang estado ng
pag-iisip ay mga proseso at gawain ng utak.

Kung anong mga gawain at kung ano ang antas ng

paglalarawan ay kailangan pang makita.
Dahil tayo ay nasa mundo, kailangan nating
magkaroon ng kahulugan, at hindi tayo maaaring
gumawa o magsalita ng kahit na ano na hindi
tayo nagkakaroon ng pangalan sa kasaysayan.
Ang katawan ang paraan kung paano tayo
nagkakaroon ng mundo.
