is the branch of philosophy responsible for the study
of the nature of reality, existence, and who we really
are.
Deals with questions that cannot be answered by
reference to scientific investigation

Examples:
o why does the earth exist?
o Why you were born?
o is there a God?
o How did the universe come about?
If we do not perceive correctly, we cannot make the
proper decisions and take the proper actions to ensure
our survival and success.
 EPISTEMOLOGY

Epistemology is a study on how to get the knowledge
and the nature of knowledge itself.
It gives an answer to the question - how do we know ...?
The answers include the nature of concept formation,
sensory validity, logical reasoning and thought, memory,
emotion as well as anything related to mental and
thought that involve the way our mind relates to reality
and whether this relationship is valid or otherwise.
Epistemology is a description of how we think that is a
necessity for determining truth and separating truth from
offenses.
Epistemology is needed to get the knowledge around us.

Without epistemology, we can not think sensibly and
there is no reason to believe whether our thinking is
productive, right or so
We can not isolate the truth in which our
epistemology is correct depends on the level of
understanding of our reality and the level of
knowledge we can use to realize our lives and the
goals of our lives.
The weakness in epistemology will complicate the
opportunity and ability to do something.

The answers to epitemic questions provide the
rationale for material selection for teaching and
learning and suggest basic epitemic questions as
follows:
1. What does it include knowledge?
2. Is that knowledge fixed or changed?
In conlucison, ontologi try to find out what is thgere
in the universe, while epitemology is to find out the
ways to know what exists in the universe.
 AXIOLOGY

from Greek axios, worthy; logos, science
is a branch of philosophy that studies judgements
about the value
is the study of the nature of the worthy conceived of
as value, specifically as to ethics and aesthetics,
which are value-based realities.

2 major divisions:
i)Ethical
Ethical beliefs shape the way we live
We ask ethical questions whenever we think about how
we should act.
Examples:
What is right and wrong?
What is evil and good?

Aesthetic
Judgements of aesthetic value rely on our ability to
discriminate at a sensory level, but they usually go
beyond that. Judgments of beauty are sensory,
emotional, and intellectual all at once
Examples
What is beautiful and ugly?
 LOGIC

Science of exact thought
Deals with rules and techniques of reasoning,
consider the validity of ideas
Deals with relationships among ideas
Deals with procedures used to differentiate between
valid and fallacious thinking

PURPOSE:
To communicate more effectively by having a careful
and systematic thinking
To assist you as you evaluate the consistency of
learners reasoning
To upgrade your ability to assess the reliability of
new information your encounter

This philosophy analyzes the inference.
Aristotledefined logic as"new and necessary
reasoning", "new" because it allows us to learn what we
do not know, and "necessary" because its conclusions are
inescapable. It asksquestionslike "What is correct
reasoning?", "What distinguishes a good argument from a
bad one?", "How can we detect a fallacy in reasoning?"
In general, logic is the principle of reasoning,
generalization, judgment, systematic rules and correct
reasoning.
