Major Lessons Learned

Philosophy is a wide range of knowledge. There are a lot of topics under philosophy. In a short period of time that we have been studying philosophy, the thing that caught my attention was the topic about reality vs. truth.

Truth always comes before reality. Something that we believe is true may not actually be true when we see the reality of it. Just like the example given to us, truth is what we see in commercials but the reality is the actual product. We cannot always believe what we see in televisions unless we see it ourselves.

That was just one of the topics we discussed in our philosophy class. We were also taught about the meaning of philosophy and ethics, major philosophers and relativism. I just thought of giving emphasis to the Reality vs. Truth topic because I believe that among all the topics tackled, it is the one that can be really applied to everyday life. Well, all topics under Philosophy and Ethics can be applied to life, I just want to talk about this particular topics. It was only discussed for a short time but for me, it is a major one.
