3. HOLISTIC AND PARTIAL
POINT OF VIEW

4. HOLISTIC POINT OF VIEW PARTIAL POINT OF VIEW
LOOKS AT ALL ASPECTS OF THE GIVEN
PROBLEM OR SITUATION.
ALL ASPECTS ARE GIVEN IMPORTANCE
WHEN MAKING CONCLUSIONS.
ALL ASPECTS ARE TIED IN TOGETHER TO
FORM A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE
PROBLEM OR SITUATION.
EXAMPLE:
A TEACHER LISTENS FIRST TO
BOTH STORIES OF HER TWO
ARGUING STUDENTS BEFORE
MAKING ANY CONCLUSION
ABOUT THE ISSUE.
LOOK AT ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF
ASPECTS OF THE GIVEN PROBLEM OR
SITUATION.
CONCLUSIONS ARE MADE BASED ON
CONSIDERING SOME, BUT NOT ALL, SIDES
OF THE PROBLEM OR SITUATION.
EXAMPLE:
A TEACHER SCOLDS STUDENT A AFTER
STUDENT B ACCUSED HIM OF STEALING
HER PENCIL CASE. HOWEVER, THE
TEACHER ONLY LISTENED TO THE STORY
OF STUDENT B, AND NOT TO STUDENT
A BEFORE DECIDING TO SCOLD THE
STUDENT.

5. HOLISTIC AND PARTIAL POINT OF VIEW
LOOKING AT THE CHARACTERICS OF
HOLISTIC AND PARTIAL POINTS OF VIEW, IT
CAN BE CONCLUDED THAT USING A HOLISTIC
PERSPECTIVE IS MORE DESIRABLE IN DOING
PHILOSOPHY THAN USING A PARTIAL
PERSPECTIVE. PARTIAL POINTS OF VIEW
ONLY PROMOTE LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ON
THE SITUATION. THIS LEADS TO WRONG
CONCLUSIONS.

6. HOLISTIC AND PARTIAL POINT OF VIEW
LEARNING PHILOSOPHY REQUIRES LEARNING
TO LOOK INTO ALL AVAILABLE PERSPECTIVE
AND WORK ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO
COME UP WITH SOUND, LOGICAL, VALID
CONCLUSIONS. IN THE PROCESS, DOING
PHILOSOPHY HELPS ONE TO DEVELOP THE
SKILL OF BREADLY LOOKING AT THE
SITUATION FIRST BEFORE CONCLUDING
ANYTHING.

7. OOPS! TIPS!
1. IN DOING PHILOSOPHY, A HOLISTIC
PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUBJECT IS ALWAYS
REQUIRED. FAILURE TO DO SO OR ONLY
USING A PARTIAL POINT OF VIEW MAY
LEAD TO ILLOGICAL ( WALA SA KATWIRAN)
OR INCORRECT CONCLUSION.

9. OOPS! TIPS!
2. THE PROCESS OF DOING PHILOSOPHY
SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN FOR THE
FILIPINO ACTIVITY OF PAMIMILOSOPO OR
PEDANTRY WHERE A PERSON DISPLAYS
USELESS KNOWLEDGE OR MINUTE
OBSERVANCES OF SMALL DETAILS.

10. KEYPOINTS!
A HOLISTIC POINT OF VIEW LOOKS AT ALL
ASPECTS OF THE GIVEN PROBLEM OR
SITUATION. MEANWHILE, A PARTIAL POINT
OF VIEW LOOKS ART ONLY A LIMITED
NUMBER OF ASPECTS OF THE GIVEN
PROBLEM OR SITUATION.
