Philosophies in Life

PHILOSOPHY may be defined as the study and pursuit of facts which deal with the ultimate reality or causes of things as
they affect life.

The philosophy of a country like the Philippines is made up of the intricate and composite interrelationship of the life
histories of its people; in other word, the philosophy of our nation would be strange and undefinable if we do not delve into
the past tied up with the notable life experiences of the representative personalities of our nation.

Being one of the prominent representatives of Filipino personalities, Jose Rizal is a fit subject whose life philosophy
deserves to be recognized.

Having been a victim of Spanish brutality early in his life in Calamba, Rizal had thus already formed the nucleus of an
unfavorable opinion of Castillian imperialistic administration of his country and people.

Pitiful social conditions existed in the Philippines as late as three centuries after his conquest in Spain, with agriculture,
commerce, communications and education languishing under its most backward state. It was because of this social malady
that social evils like inferiority complex, cowardice, timidity and false pride pervaded nationally and contributed to the
decay of social life. This stimulated and shaped Rizals life phylosophy to be to contain if not eliminate these social ills.

Educational Philosophy

Rizals concept of the importance of education is clearly enunciated in his work entitled Instruction wherein he sought
improvements in the schools and in the methods of teaching. He maintained that the backwardness of his country during
the Spanish ear was not due to the Filipinos indifference, apathy or indolence as claimed by the rulers, but to the neglect
of the Spanish authorities in the islands. For Rizal, the mission of education is to elevate the country to the highest seat of
glory and to develop the peoples mentality. Since education is the foundation of society and a prerequisite for social
progress, Rizal claimed that only through education could the country be saved from domination.

Rizals philosophy of education, therefore, centers on the provision of proper motivation in order to bolster the great social
forces that make education a success, to create in the youth an innate desire to cultivate his intelligence and give him life
eternal.

Religious Philosophy

Rizal grew up nurtured by a closely-knit Catholic family, was educated in the foremost Catholic schools of the period in the
elementary, secondary and college levels; logically, therefore, he should have been a propagator of strictly Catholic
traditions. However, in later life, he developed a life philosophy of a different nature, a philosophy of a different Catholic
practice intermingled with the use of Truth and Reason.

Why the change?

It could have been the result of contemporary contact, companionship, observation, research and the possession of an
independent spirit.Being a critical observer, a profound thinker and a zealous reformer, Rizal did not agree with the
prevailing Christian propagation of the Faith by fire and sword. This is shown in his Annotation of Morgas Sucesos de las
Islas Filipinas.

Rizal did not believe in the Catholic dogma that salvation was only for Catholics and that outside Christianity, salvation was
not possible even if Catholics composed only a small minority of the worlds religious groups. Nor did he believe in the
Catholic observation of fasting as a sacrifice, nor in the sale of such religious items as the cross, medals, rosaries and the
like in order to propagate the Faith and raise church funds. He also lambasted the superstitious beliefs propagated by the
priests in the church and in the schools. All of these and a lot more are evidences of Rizals religious philosophy.

Political Philosophy

In Rizals political view, a conquered country like the Philippines should not be taken advantage of but rather should be
developed, civilized, educated and trained in the science of self-government.

He bitterly assailed and criticized in publications the apparent backwardness of the Spanish rulers method of governing the
country which resulted in:

1. the bondage and slavery of the conquered ;

2. the Spanish governments requirement of forced labor and force military service upon the n natives;

3. the abuse of power by means of exploitation;

4. the government ruling that any complaint against the authorities was criminal; and

5. Making the people ignorant, destitute and fanatic, thus discouraging the formation of a national sentiment.
Rizals guiding political philosophy proved to be the study and application of reforms, the extension of human rights, the
training for self government and the arousing of spirit of discontent over oppression, brutality, inhumanity, sensitiveness
and self love.

Ethical Philosophy

The study of human behavior as to whether it is good or bad or whether it is right or wrong is that science upon which
Rizals ethical philosophy was based. The fact that the Philippines was under Spanish domination during Rizals time led
him to subordinate his philosophy to moral problems. This trend was much more needed at that time because the
Spaniards and the Filipinos had different and sometimes conflicting morals. The moral status of the Philippines during this
period was one with a lack of freedom, one with predominance of foreign masters, one with an imposition of foreign
religious worship, devotion, homage and racial habits. This led to moral confusion among the people, what with justice
being stifled, limited or curtailed and the people not enjoying any individual rights.

To bolster his ethical philosophy, Dr. Rizal had recognized not only the forces of good and evil, but also the tendencies
towards good and evil. As a result, he made use of the practical method of appealing to the better nature of the
conquerors and of offering useful methods of solving the moral problems of the conquered.

To support his ethical philosophy in life, Rizal:

1. censured the friars for abusing the advantage of their position as spiritual leaders and the ignorance and fanaticism of
the natives;

2. counseled the Filipinos not to resent a defect attributed to them but to accept same as reasonable and just;

3. advised the masses that the object of marriage was the happiness and love of the couple and not financial gain;

4. censured the priests who preached greed and wrong morality; and

5. advised every one that love and respect for parents must be strictly observed.

Social Philosophy

That body of knowledge relating to society including the wisdom which man's experience in society has taught him is social
philosophy. The facts dealt with are principles involved in nation building and not individual social problems. The subject
matter of this social philosophy covers the problems of the whole race, with every problem having a distinct solution to
bolster the peoples social knowledge.

Rizals social philosophy dealt with;

1. man in society;
2. influential factors in human life;
3. racial problems;
4. social constant;
5. social justice;
6. social ideal;
7. poverty and wealth;
8. reforms;
9. youth and greatness;
10. history and progress;
11. future Philippines.

The above dealt with mans evolution and his environment, explaining for the most part human behavior and capacities
like his will to live; his desire to possess happiness; the change of his mentality; the role of virtuous women in the
guidance of great men; the need for elevating and inspiring mission; the duties and dictates of mans conscience; mans
need of practicing gratitude; the necessity for consulting reliable people; his need for experience; his ability to deny; the
importance of deliberation; the voluntary offer of mans abilities and possibilities; the ability to think, aspire and strive to
rise; and the proper use of hearth, brain and spirit-all of these combining to enhance the intricacies, beauty and values of
human nature. All of the above served as Rizals guide in his continuous effort to make over his beloved Philippines.
