Search For Truth - All Begins With The Creation and Ending With The White Throne

The document discusses the nature of truth as either static or dynamic. It presents two perspectives: 1) Some traditional philosophers view truth as static and unchanging, based on ultimate causes like God, evolutionary history, or human well-being. Wisdom is considered a gift from God. 2) Other existentialists see truth as dynamic and subject to change. They argue that humans can define their own meaning and reality is shaped by ideology and human consciousness, not static concepts like God. Philosophy must be used to transform reality rather than just interpret it.

Philosophy
 Philo – love – expresses human virtue that is based on compassion, affection
and kindness
 Sophia – wisdom – involves integration of knowledge, experience, and deep
understanding

Love of wisdom or the pursuit of truth can be seen either as static or dynamic.

Nature of Truth as Static


1. The scholastics and traditional philosophers view wisdom and truth according to
its ultimate causes
 Scholastics – (Catholic church) member of the religious order, esp. society
of Jesus, who is between the novitiate and the priesthood
 In regards to the aspect of God
 Evolutionary history and functional utility of the behavior
 Being wise means knowing what leads to or constitutes human well-being,
and being motivated to pursue it
 Wisdom is considered one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit according to
Anglican, Catholic, and Lutheran belief
 The book of Proverbs in the Old Testament of the Bible primarily focuses on
wisdom, and was primarily written by one of the wisest kings according to Jewish
history, King Solomon.
 According to King Solomon, wisdom is gained from God, "For the Lord gives
wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding" Proverbs 2:6
2. It cannot be subjected to change. It is everlasting, unending and never changing.
3. Because the world has become dynamic and so is reality.

Nature of Truth as Dynamic


1. Some existentialists proclaimed that God is dead and the concept of God is
obsolete  no longer used or out of date
 Important factor – freedom of choice to believe or not to believe individual
existence  humans define their own meaning in life
2. Ideology – set of opinions or beliefs of a group or an individual. Refers to set of
political beliefs or a set of ideas that characterize a particular culture.
 they rely on basic assumptions about reality that may or may not have
any factual basis
 Karl Marx declared that philosophy must become reality. One could no longer
be content with interpreting the world; one must be concerned with
transforming it, which meant transforming both the world itself and
human consciousness of it. 
 For Jeremiah Montemayor, the ideology for the Filipino must be dynamic and
therefore continually shaping according to their needs and suits their present
situation.
3. Philosophy cannot be ideology. But if philosophy is science, then it must use the
measures and norms of science.
 Man of science – holds a specific truth from the light of the evidence he has in
a given time and place. He is open to change his mind.
 Ideologists does not change his mind in spite of the evidence before him.
