REFLECTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION 3

In the last meeting of philosophy of mathematics education lecturer, Mr. Marsigit told my friends and I that philosophy has the dimension with the smallest dimension is yourself. Philosophy also talked about the romance with their respective ideologies romatisism depends on how look at it. As related by the power, then who is the most handsome that's the most power.

The nature of philosophy is not static. But there is a philosophy that is static ie permeudessianism. The history of philosophy is the history of ideas of the philosophers. Philosophize is to learn to read philosophers of mind. Should do not hurry in studying, do not be too arrogant to read reference. Philosophy is a thought though. If the thought is life. So if we do not want to think that the philosophy we're dead.

Right and wrong depend upon the context. For example, the phrase "I love him" within the sentence is appropriate if it is the right context. If we replace him as a husband, children, parents then it would be right. But if we replace them as neighbors it needs to be questioned again.

Ontology who study nature . Epistemology learn the source of knowledge and ratification of right and wrong science. And also branch of science. Axiology is divided into ethics and aesthetics in which ethics is the norm while the aesthetics are good or bad. benefits include fasiologi.

If we are talking about the standard is essentially the same thing. The standard philosophy is comensurme. And the opposite of comensurme is  incomensurme. To Determine not only in living alone but also on inanimate objects. The philosophy is determinism.

Learning is the process meaningful. To get a sense of the learning process that we should live in a learning method, because we ourselves are the living beings. Similarly, in the study of philosophy. We should use methods for the study of life.    Because we study during life it would be better if we study the method of life. Or the Greeks say as hermeneutics and the Javanese say as silahturahim. And one silahturahim in learning philosophy is to read the elegy.

Studying philosophy of mathematics education with the study of philosophy in general, because the philosophy of mathematics education is the subject of a special study philosophy in general. In the study of philosophy, we need sincerity in our hearts so that the knowledge we gain not only a floating science. Science is able to permeate our hearts. Sincerity is the key staple in any learning process.

Sincere is also highly correlated with arrogance. In this world there are two kinds of people. Man sincerity and arrogant man. Arrogance must be behind everything. All the good things we have or others have. Arrogance is what the future will hold us in learning new things. Therefore, we should avoid the arrogant nature from the beginning. Because the only people who will gain knowledge sincere meaningful. Similarly, the study of philosophy we must be sincere and resignation.

REFLECTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION 1

As a mathematics education student, I should take philosophy of mathematics education as one of the subject of my lecturing. I should take it because by studying about philosophy of mathematics education, I’ll know mathematics from philosophy scene. But, it’s not easy to learn philosophy of mathematics while there are many dilemmas in it. First, everyone has their own business. We can’t focus on learning philosophy of mathematics when there are many things to be though, because when we study philosophy of mathematics we should be don’t have many problems to think so we have so much spare times to learn it. The other dilemma on studying philosophy of mathematics education is the name of the subject, that is Filsafat Pendidikan Matematika and Philosophy of Mathematics Education. Both of them are same in translation, but have different meaning. In daily life, we speak Bahasa then it would be very hard if we should learn philosophy in English. If we do it, we are afraid not to be able to understand what it is and the unsure of it.

Although there are many dilemmas in it, we still should study about philosophy of mathematics education, because it is one of the important lecturing. The other reason is most of the students are still young, so they have a good adaptation to solve anything. A young man has many chances to learn something new, that’s why we learn Philosophy of Mathematics Education though there are many dilemmas in it.

Since philosophy must be alive, so Dr. Marsigit won’t give the students about the materiel of philosophy. So, the students are letting by Dr. Marsigit to operate their minds, not to do much writing because philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.

Based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics_education, the philosophy of mathematics education is an interdisciplinary area of study and research based on the intersection of the fields of mathematics education and the philosophy of mathematics, the latter being understood in an inclusive sense to include multidisciplinary theorizing about mathematics incorporating philosophical, sociological, anthropological, semiotic, historical, ethnomathematical, etc., perspectives. And philosophy is the study of all the phenomena of human life and thinking critically and described the fundamental concepts. Philosophy is not explored by conducting experiments and experiments, but to express the exact problem, find a solution for it, provide arguments and reasons appropriate for a particular solution. End of the processes put in a dialectical process.

Another word, philosophy is such like a world. We can put the word “world” in front of anything, such as world of plant, world of animal, world of lecturing, etc. all of those are applicable in philosophy, such as philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of religion, and so on.

That’s why we should learn philosophy lively, because philosophy is something alive. And the other meaning of philosophy is a mirror which means that we need something to reflect. Then, philosophy is a reflection.

My question is what is the relationship between mathematics and philosophy?

DIALOG OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION – 2 (reflection 5)

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.

DIALOG OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION-1 (reflection 4)

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:

Why is the importance of studying philosophy of mathematics education?

The importance of studying philosophy of mathematics education is philosophy can be put in front of everything, between ‘exist’ and ‘may exist’. The objects of philosophy are everything that is ‘exist’ and ‘may exist’. Thus, the objects of philosophy of mathematics are everything that is ‘exist’ and ‘may exist’ in mathematics.

What is the most concern in learning philosophy?

The method that is used in learning philosophy is live method, because philosophy is live. Every experience that has been done by human can be put in philosophy. So, the main point of learning philosophy of mathematics is living the philosophy.

Since the definition of philosophy is thinking, and the modal of philosophy is logic, think, and experience, so everyone should be thinking about their experiences. But, there are some people that don’t reflect their experiences.

What is the use of learning philosophy?

As we know, philosophy is thinking. So, the use of learning philosophy is same as the use of thinking. Without thinking, a human can’t life in this world.

What is the relationship between philosophy and mathematics?

The objects of philosophy are everything that is ‘exist’ and ‘may exist’. So, the relationship of philosophy and mathematics is everything that is ‘exist’ and ‘may exist’ in mathematics. Mathematics is half of our life, so philosophy is also half of our life.

Can we define the philosophy of mathematics?

We can define philosophy as everything, but it’s not important, because the most important is the reason of the definition. How can we find the definition? We can find it within our mind.

How can we compare the perception of our philosophy and the others?

The use of comparing the perception of everything is based on our ego, because it explains our domination. So, we need difference to make our life balance.

What is the philosophy of philosophy?

The philosophy of philosophy is Meta philosophy. It’s based on the quality of everything. Can be the first quality (quality that can be reaching by our sense). The second, third, etc quality is quality that should use our mind. And it’s based on our mind.
