Philosophy of Confucius For my essay I have decided to analyze the philosophy of Confucius as seen in The Analects or Lunyu (论语).

Why Study Philosophy? Since the dawn of time‚ humans have searched far and wide trying to find out why we are here‚ how we got here‚ and who or what‚ if anything‚ put us here.

“Philosophy of Language: Paved way for a better Development Communicator” One concept discussed in Philosophy 1 that I think is particularly applicable to my course – Bachelor of Science Development Communication‚ is the ‘Philosophy of Language.’ I have chosen this concept because we all know that philosophy of language is concerned on the problem: “When we say something‚ it must be meaningful.
