Philosophy is not really a subject, it is an activity (Articulo, 2004). One does not simply study it, one practices it. The study of philosophy is unlike the study of other subjects. No dates, formulas, or rules are needed to be memorized. No field work is necessary, no technical equipment required. The only prerequisite is an inquiring mind. To have a philosophy is to have a view of man. Since philosophy is given the task of discovering man in his totality and essence, man himself, according to Gladstone (as cited in Fetizanan & Gajete, 2003) , is the crowning wonder of creation, and the study of his nature is the noblest study the world affords. Thus, knowledge of man should be the highest priority. The study of philosophy facilitates the understanding of man. Since man is the basis of existence in the world, everything on earth can only achieve its meaning and its perfection in man.
