Regelski Synopsis
Regelski:
Philosophy by common sense: -“Faith” is in absence of evidence… not necessarily blind but involves a “leap.” Eg. “my philosophy is ppl. Are good or bad.” -“Opinion”- can seem to be true and valid, but still lacks concreteness. *comes from Old English word for stubborn. Often used in disputes.. Eg. “my philosophy is women belong in the home.” Lololol make me a sandwich. -“Belief”-involves concepts and ideals. Can be open to evolution and change. “Conviction” is very strong belief. Eg. “My philosophy is music is a universal language.” (sounds like a picture on tumblr) Problems with common sense philosophy: can often be accepted without concrete grounds of evidence. Weak/no grounds, can be taken for granted. Conflicts argued without much purpose…. People use “faith” “opinion” and “belief” as a justification for ideals that sometimes have no grounds. #SarahPalin. Often inherit from parents. Most often political or religious. *Regelski views “I believe” to mean “my philosophy is” is a misuse of what philosophy ACTUALLY is.
Philosophy as a “discipline”: -probs the first scholarly field -studies questions of reality, truth, knowledge, existence, etc. -divergent answers -change as human thinking evolves -characterized by argument! -warranted by evidence, logic, authority, precedents, and current trends. -arguments influenced by personal opinions
*Most important question of all is whether there can be eternal philosophical answers. Eternal truth.
Philosophy in music education: -Need to have an idea of important questions in order to teach it like “what is music?” “when and where is music?” “What’s the difference between a music lesson and a piano lesson?” -Curriculum: what’s the most important thing to teach in music? -Musicianship: what is it, how to recognize it, how to teach it? -Music in reference to art. -Evaluation (*value)- how to assess. What makes good
