1. There are three main approaches to defining Filipino philosophy: the traditional philosophical approach which identifies individual Filipino philosophers; the cultural/anthropological approach which examines a people's worldview and collective perspective; and the national/constitutional perspective which considers any philosophical work written by a person defined as a Filipino by the Philippine Constitution.
2. Filipino philosophy shapes Filipino ideology and is expressed through Filipino ethics, language, indigenous categories, and the awareness of Filipino citizens. It represents the endless search for wisdom and truth through questioning and understanding one's environment.
The document discusses states and nations. It describes how the state of Haiti was severely impacted by the 2010 earthquake, with the government's capacity impaired and temporary control of the airport given to the US. A key function of states is to provide security, revenue extraction, and rule-making within their territory. States come in different forms like unitary, federal, and confederal, and influence citizens' lives through their rules and policies. The formation of new states and evolution of existing states over time is also discussed.
This document outlines three theoretical paradigms in political science: traditionalism, behavioralism, and post-behavioralism. Traditionalism examines the formal rules and institutions of politics through historical and normative analysis. Behavioralism stresses empirical observation and data collection over historical analysis. Post-behavioralism emerged as a reaction against behavioralism, arguing that political science should be both empirically reliable and relevant, and that the topics studied can have real-world ethical implications related to issues like war and human rights.
This document discusses the definitions and concepts of politics and history. Politics is defined as the process of selecting rulers and making collective decisions, as well as the distribution of power and resources. It involves conflict, cooperation, and resolving disputes. History is defined as the study and investigation of past events, people, places, and time periods using primary and secondary sources. Studying history helps understand the present and improves judgment. Both politics and history are important for cultural understanding, identity, and preparing for the future, but history as a discipline faces issues like correcting errors and reinterpreting facts from a new perspective.
1. Contemporary philosophy refers to philosophical thinking from the late 19th century to the present dealing with existentialism, phenomenology, analytic philosophy, and continental philosophy.

3. Major existentialist philosophers discussed include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Heidegger, who all emphasized individual responsibility and the importance of how one chooses to live.
4. Nietzsche notably declared "God is dead" and argued this poses challenges around nihilism but also opportunities for individuals to create their own meaning
