Introduction to the Philosophy of Human Person

Introduction to the Course:


Dear Students,

Welcome to the world of philosophy!  Philosophy may sound strange to you.  But, philosophy –as a rational activity, is part of us, or shall I say, it's in us.  Each of us is capable of philosophizing.  It is my ardent hope that you will find your comfort in doing philosophy as I invite all of you to the world of philosophizing.

This online workbook is intended for neophytes in philosophy.  I make sure that this workbook is not overloaded with highly technical terms in philosophy yet without sacrificing the original, deep insights of individual philosophers. 

Philosophy of Human Person is all about yourself.  For the whole semester, this course will help you understand yourself better and deeper.  Thus, it is necessary to ask two major questions: (1) Who am I? and (2) How to become human?   The first two lessons will help you answer the former, Who am I?   The remaining lessons are designed to help you answer the latter, How to become human?  The primary objective to study this course, Philosophy of Man, is to know thyself (yourself).  “Unexamined life is not worth living,” Socrates said.

Good luck!  Make your study in Philosophy of Human Person fruitful.
