THIS IS A DRAFT OF A PROPOSED BOOK OF NELSON S. BADILLA, Faculty member of TIP QC
INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY
Brief Explanations of Different Philosophies for Non-Philosophy Majors
By: NELSON SALAZAR BADILLA, M.P.A.
Preface
I have been teaching the subject “Introduction to Philosophy” since 2008 wherein my students where enrolled in different curiculum programs like Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Computer Studies, Computer Engineering, etc. These non-philosophy major students were, of course, more interested in their chosen programs and not on philosophy. Thus, majority of them if not all were not active in class discussion about the different philosophies.
When the students are instructed to read a book on philosophy, they will do so because they were required to read. Other would not read. When I asked why they did not read, the students response—and compliant—was that they don’t understand what were written in the philosophy book. The students who read the book have the same complaint: they could not grasp what they have read, thus, they could not express profoundly their ideas during discussion or recitation.
The philosophies of different philosophies are really hard to understand. And these philosophies would not be understood further since the style of the authors of the philosophy books are not students friendly. This is the very reason and context of writing this book entitled “INTRODUCTORY NOTES IN PHILOSOPHY The Study of Different Philosophies of None-Philosophy Majors.” This writer firmly believed that a book specially for the topics that are hard to understand must be written in student-friendly style precisely because the very purpose of a book is to ensure that the students will learn and accumulate knowledge and not to impress them. Thus, this writer offers a bullet-type presentation of each topic as a style so that the purpose of this book is aligned with its style and also
