In the last meeting of philosophy of
mathematics education lecturer, Mr. Marsigit and the students were talking
about some student’s questions. Here are some questions-answers of philosophy
of mathematics education:
How
do we clean the heart of all that mess?
Mr.Marsigit said that to clean our heart
of all that mess, we should find a teacher who was able leaded and guide in spiritual
matters. In every age, there are people who are able leaded and guide, a sort
of scholars.
What’s
the relationship between IQ, EQ, and SQ?
Based on experience, spirituality can
support intelligence. People who developed his IQ and SQ, EQ is just as
implications. His emotions will be maintained. However, sometimes if our IQ, EQ
are high, then the SQ is not high, if it is very high on EQ and SQ then his IQ
is not high and so on. This is because a person can not possibly have an IQ, EQ
and SQ in very high level in the same time. Because if it is like IQ, EQ and SQ
like high mountains, so if we managed to climb the mountain, we are also not
likely to climb another mountain.
What’s
skepticism?
Skepticism is doubtful that exists and
may exist. The big noise is Rene Descartes. He made a book about his
experiences, which just dream to reality. This makes Rene Descartes became
unable to distinguish where reality and dreams. Then he does not believe
(skeptic) on everything, including God. Eventually he convinced me was being
asked of me. So, the main source of a science is a doubt in our mind.
What
limits your mind?
Learning comes from science. Thoughts
related to the structures in the brain. Biologically, if the brain is taken,
then we can not think. This makes the emergence of the theory of left brain and
right brain. In philosophy, there are two kinds of mind, they are experience
and logic. Among the experience and logic there is intuition, either space
intuition or time intuition.
What
is the philosophy?
Philosophy is a reflection process to
think. People called philosophical mind when he reflects. The characteristics
of reflecting are asking what, who, when, where, why, and how. He is also able
to think normative, analytical, and apiori. That’s why animals might not
philosophize, because he is only able to think of a synthetic and a posteriori.
Similarly, a baby also can’t philosophize. He gained knowledge only of myth.
Love
is relative or absolute?
Absolute love is only belongs to God.
Your love to another person is still relative.
How
to define love?
We can not define love, because love is
intuition. Love can only be explained and given examples. Love also only
mentioned characteristics. Therefore, we should not ignore intuition, because
half of our lives are filled with intuition.
From the dialogues above, I can conclude
that there are many things of our life that should be reflected. So, actually
we can philosophize about everything in our life because philosophy is a
reflective thinking.
