YOUTH: ITS ROLE TOWARDS ETHICAL PUBLIC SERVICE

By: Lorelyn T. Dumaug

PHILOSOPHYlove of wisdom

PHILOSOPHY the attempt to answer questions currently (and perhaps forever) beyond the reach of science, by using reason and publicly accessible evidence.

LOGIC is the study of proper patterns of reasoning, of the connection between evidence and the conclusions one might try to draw from evidence.

METAPHYSICS roughly, asks questions about things: what things exist? What are they like? For instance, do people have free will? Are minds distinct from brains? What is time?

EPISTEMOLOGY asks questions about knowledge itself: what is knowledge? Can we have it? What does it take to get it?

AXIOLOGY deals with questions about value, both artistic value in the case of aesthetics, and moral value in the case of

ETHICS.

you know what is ethical

you do not do what is ethical?
