Course Description
Guided by the values of faith, zeal for service and communion in mission, this subject is designed to enhance the learner’s capacity to demonstrate critical and
analytical reflection from the perspective of a holistic and profound vision of life. It is an initiation to the activity and process of philosophical reflection as a search for a
synoptic vision of life. At the end of the course, the student should be able to: reflect on their daily experiences from a holistic point of view, acquire critical and analytical
thinking skills, apply their critical and analytical thinking skills to the affairs of daily life, take responsibility for their own learning and development, become truthful,
environment-friendly and service-oriented, actively committed to the development of a more humane society and articulate their own philosophy of life.
