Kita tanan labe na sa atong pagpaningkamot na makakalingkawas sa kalisud mu-agi jud sa pag-iskwela, kay matud pa nila na "ang edukasyon ay ang solusyon sa kahirapan." Katong mi-aging tuig, ni graduate ko sa bachelors of Philosophy sa University of San Carlos busa, dili jud hayag ang akong kaugmaon ato labe na sa paghisgot palang ug trabaho kay matud nila kutub ra daw mi sa lalis-lalis, kung gusto pa mi makakwarta jud ug taman, mag Law pa mi usa mi madato. Pero bahala na, nagpadayun ko. Paghuman graduate nanigta dayun ko ug trabaho, para puhon puhon ako nalang jud mabuhi mag-isa. Kay lagi kani akong korso walay laing padulngan kundili sa pagtudlo, mao na tanang skwelahan na pwede nako maaplayan gitagaan nako ug application letter. Taas man sad ang bakasyon, taas sad ang akong pagkatambay sa amua ug tabang-tabang sa mga buluhatonon. Sa higayon katong nag-dula ko ug  DOTA mao na adunay nanawag sa akong celpon, ug pag-tubag nako, nagpahibaw ang nagtawag na taga ACT siya ug p...

            The goal of interpretation is to bring the message and that message is truth. Hermeneutics is that tool to which the gateway or the access of truth is made possible. But the receptacle of which wherein these is all happening is in language, and language as Heidegger would say is the “house of being”. In language, even going back to Aristotle’s Organon is that in the spoken language is the transmittance of the mental image or of the idea. It is the means of which we can understand one another due to it, not just phonetics or of sound and arrangement of letters but such sound bears meanings or the spoken word itself is a carrier of meanings, or a symbol or a signifier. It is either it carries the meaning and relays to us what it means, or it may resemble something or it is a pointer towards something. Definitely what language refers to is a something, and everything is a being. Everything is Being. To speak of somethin...

Introduction             Ethics is this study of what is good and what is bad and throughout the course of history it had also its shares of disputes and animosities. But beneath all of it is that ethics is a means in order to arrive at happiness or the good life. Because we have to act correspondingly or in a certain manner wherein we can get to attain harmony within ourselves especially regarding to our conscience or in harmony with others in order to keep relationships or ultimately to preserve one’s self or to attain such security whether externally and that is in relation with others or internally or personal satisfaction. Our actions are guided by principles of which we take actions correspondingly but the question lies what then are these principles and sometimes we go back to our way of understanding or our metaphysical assumptions wherein we garner from these in order to make way into how we conduct ourselves in our ...

“Language is the house of being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home. Their guardianship accomplishes the manifestation of Being insofar as they bring the manifestation of language and maintain it in language through their speech.”                                                                                                 (Heidegger: Letter on Humanism) Language is the house of being because it is were being is made manifest for it is in lan...

Hegel’s Dialectics and Lao Tzu's Mysticism             The dialectics of Hegel is not something completely new since it follows from the basics of logic. Also this thought sprang from as early as the Greeks, especially Heraclitus. Heraclitus’ point was that of pantheism, that God is the totality of everything, while Hegel’s point also tends towards the Absolute. At the end point is the Absolute or the Total. Heraclitus also stresses that God is fire which is the agent of change, similar to Hegel where the Absolute is that towards which make everything tends. Therefore the Absolute is an end that is pulling everything, the efficient cause [1] in the progress of everything. The process of the movement of everything towards that end is dialectics. The points converge in the totality and the process is the called dialectics. Since movement is change, change is for Heraclitus this event where which opposites exist. If reality were...
