The introduction to philosophy consists first in distinguishing the act of philosophical thinking from other human activities associated with human everyday life. This distinction brings us to the question of the origins of philosophy (1) and its systematic (2) and historical character (3). A basic overview of the systematic issues of philosophy, the philosophical disciplines, and its major historical traditions will help us to understand the situation of philosophy in modern times, especially as regards the relation of philosophy to modern science and the related critique and crisis of metaphysics (4). In the face of this problem, the question arises whether Christian faith and theology could enter into philosophy to lead it out of its own crises (5) towards a fuller conception of the goal of philosophical thought, which may not be merely the attainment of rational knowledge, but the transformation of the knowing subject resulting in a new life practice culminating in a liturgical conjunction of wonder, active participation and mystery (6).
Students will be able to identify philosophical arguments distinguish and apply the relationship among pre-scientific, scientific and philosophical knowledge.
