There were lots of ideas,
critiques, and philosophies about man as a person. First, that man lives in
their ego because of the greed and pride. Second, that man is the image of God,
wherein we become united and belong to one family. Lastly, man viewed as the
product of social interaction.
Man was given lots of
meanings and philosophies about man, but for me man is the creature of God, who
was given the gift of intellect and free will. Man has the freedom to make a
change on our society. Man has the body and soul to use for living. Our body
functions as the shell/house where our soul operates. Man where given the
knowledge to think, to do whatever is right. We were given the gift of
knowledge that other creatures can’t have the capability to use. We have the
free will, wherein we can do whatever we want.
I learned that man has the
different personality and character. Personality differs from character; it is
because personality is the rational
action while character is the moral
action. Personality is being develop by man through its actions, while the
character is develop through it values. Good personality and good character
when combined is the result of perfect person, because having good personality
and character would mirror yourself, how you were grown up by the people on
your environment. Thus, whatever you do it mirrors your personality and
character.
Our professor also
discussed about the fallacies. It says that fallacy
is an error in reasoning. There were lots of fallacies discussed such as
Fallacy of Irrelevance, Fallacy of presumption, and the Fallacy of ambiguity. These
fallacies were most use in an argument especially Argumentum ad hominem. I learned how the following fallacies were
used and make an argument. For example, submit all the needed requirements and
I’ll pass you on my subject (Argumentum ad Hominem). One type of Fallacy of
Presumption is the Fallacy of composition-
from whole to parts. For example, all Antonio family is good in playing musical
instruments. Karla Antonio is part of Antonio family. So, Karla Antonio is good
in playing musical instruments. Fallacy
of Equivocation, for example, Student: Sir! Go out?! These
statement/question may have other meaning, first, it could meant by asking for
permission going out, another it could meant to the teacher to Go out of the classroom.
Knowing and understanding
the following lessons gave me ideas about the things like the fallacies and
about man as a person. Studying fallacies would help me avoid mistakes in
reasoning. This may be open my mind to think more to avoid mistakes like in
fallacies. Studying philosophy about man as a person gave me ideas that are
very usual to know by students. Man as a person, is being responsible on
whatever we do, thinking on what is right, and making decisions in the right
way.
