Why Philosophical Analysis Matters?
1. Better comprehension and communication
There are a vast amount of words and each of them may have a different explanation and it is determined by the person and in what way he or she is using it. Culture, location, and nationality may be some of the factors for the different meaning of the words. Some other factors could include age and sense of humour. This is one reason why philosophical analysis matters. Thru philosophical analysis, people would be able to have a deeper understanding on how a person is using a certain word or phrase and be able to distinguish the meaning he or she is trying to convey and this is evident in our everyday lives. We use communication in order to interact with other people.

That is why people came up of writing about philosophical analysis which later combined in books. Furthermore, education and different philosophical courses are created to cater a lot of students or interested individuals in learning philosophical analysis.
These films, books, studies, education, medicine, science, and more have come to life because of people’s discovery that they are important. They were able to know that they are important because of philosophical analysis. Additionally, these things are used in order to impart knowledge to other people.
Philosophical analysis also allows people to get jobs and be professionals because people use analysis in data and situations.

Awareness
Philosophical analysis allows people to be aware. It allows them to analyze the situation and know the pros and cons of it. Philosophical analysis also makes people think and enables them on the right or logical way on how to perceive things.
Since people had a sufficient knowledge and knows how to think critically through philosophical analysis, these people would not be easily taken advantage of. These people could escape being tricked or fooled.
Moreover, another example is that people would be able to avoid certain diseases since they know the causes of it. They knew it because of observations, connection of events, and thru the analysis of science and medicine.
For example, based on my experience, one factor that would lead me to have colds is when I was sweating because I walked for a long time under the sun then I went straight inside an air-conditioned room. With this, I left my sweat unattended and let it dry and because of this I got colds. The next time that I know that I would walk under the sun and have a class in an air-conditioned room then I know that I have to stop by the comfort room first, wipe my sweat and cool down before entering the room. Because of philosophical analysis, I was able to connect the cause and effect on why I got colds. Thru philosophical analysis, I was able to know one way on how I could prevent myself from getting
Analyze is to review over what you read and see if there any changes of feeling or tone throughout the book and what is the message the book is trying to tell you.
Philosophy is a combination of two Latin words; Philo standing for love and sophy meaning wisdom. When you combine the two root words it means the love of wisdom. Knowing the literal meaning of philosophy may help us understand what philosophy; but it does not state what philosophy undoubtedly is. Over the years, philosophy has had many meaning and interpretations. In my personal opinion philosophy is using reason and logic to solve simple or complex questions.
and “learned the ordinary symptoms of diseases and picked up a surface knowledge of ailments. This was not enough to satisfy my desires. I begged him to continue to guide my studies on a deeper level.” (Doc E). This passage shows that people were not only continuing to educate others, but some were actually begging to be educated on a further level.
“On Pins and Needles Defending Artistic Expression” What would one expect the viewpoint of an American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts’ (also known as ACLU) lawyer and journalist to be regarding tattoos as a form of artistic expression? Carol Rose is the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. Being a lawyer and journalist, Carol has spent her career working for and writing about human rights and civil liberties, both in the United States and abroad”(Rottenberg 36). Because of her eminent profession, one would naturally assume that Rose leans more towards a liberal point of view. In regards to tattoos, that assertion would be correct.
Today, money has made many people believe that you need to have a lot of money to live a great, happy life. People in the world, especially the people who don’t have as much money as the ones that do, look up to people like popular idols, because they have money. People think they have a great living life with all the money they have earned during their lives. In the short story “Why You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes, the author uses diction, colloquialism and dialect to express the fact that just because people have the money to go out to eat somewhere expensive or buy the newest clothes, does not mean that a person is happy all the time and expresses how people in the town talks. Money is what makes the world goes round and everyone has come
Kendal Carpenter Text critique of three big problems with school choice that supporters don`t like to talk about Text Critique 1 The article “three big problems with school “choice” that supporters don’t like to talk about” by Valerie Strauss is a very persuadable topic. The topic of this article is over the choice between the student going to a public education or a private/ charter school. She uses many premises and it comes down to one claim in the end. Her premises and thoughts all support the final claim.
Unfittingly, the most popular portrayal of Buddha’s attitude towards philosophy is illustrated by his “Parable of the Poisoned Arrow”. The parable is a response to the skeptic’s enquiries into the Buddha’s metaphysical views. To summarize this parable; a poisonous arrow wounds a man. His companions and relatives wish to provide him with a surgeon. But, the man says, “I will not have the arrow removed until I know who it was that wounded me.”
Defend What Is Important; Literacy Undoubtedly, we all had a tangled history with education as we strive to become erudite, but often practicality's nature interrupted our chances of becoming literate. Somewhere along the path of education we miss to intercept some content with the concept and begins to pervert from a discipline of language along with literature. Furthermore, being literate has become a mere ornament as the author Wendell Berry describes "In Defense of Literacy". Berry suggests that it is an absurd idea of that we must defend literacy, but he claims that it is a great necessity.
Rhetorical analysis is an investigation into how someone uses his/her critical reading skills to analyze text. The objective of the rhetorical analysis is the study of how the author writes, instead of what the author wrote. At that point, we need to examine the method that the author uses to attain his goal. According to Jonah G. Willihnganz “A rhetorical analysis is an examination of how a text persuades us of its point of view. It focuses on identifying and investigating the way a text communicates, what strategies it employs to connect to an audience, frame an issue, establish its stakes, make a particular claim, support it, and persuade the audience to accept the claim”.
For hundreds of years philosophers have assigned knowledge the supreme role and have called knowledge the ultimate purpose and meaning of human life. Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher said “theoretical wisdom, that is, knowledge of the first principles and of what follows from them, is by nature our purpose and is the ultimate thing for the sake of which we have come to be. This is the highest form of knowledge since it is knowledge with grounding of the highest things. Through this kind of knowledge one not only knows what follows from the first principles, but also possesses truth about the first principles.” Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy.
Throughout the story of The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Oscar pointed out many oblivious actions done by the characters. He constantly used the characters to exaggerate actions of our society today. Wilde uses exaggerations to show how the characters were unable to be a complete individual without the face of the strict social expectations influencing their actions. Everywhere in the society, they are all unable to make their own decisions, and it is very hard for them to be truthful towards who they are without societal norms interfering causing them to lose all individuality. Wilde uses reversal to show how the characters actions were completely insane since they were trying to accommodate societal expectations.
Three possible theories that can be applied are the psychodynamic theory, systems theory, and the feminist theory. The Psychodynamic theory involves working on a micro level,
For example, designing an experiment requires imagination, careful planning, attention to detail, and it is very exciting and time consuming. Unlike qualitative research, experiments involve using maths and statistical computations to analyse the data. In contrast, there is no maths in discourse analysis, but transcribing recorded materials often can be time consuming and hard too. In the studies of bystander behaviour done by Latane and Darley, (Latane and Darley, 1970, cited in Jovan Byford, 2014, p. 229 - 234) they were not interested in looking at an individual’s personality. Therefore, it could be argued when comparing and contrasting the two approaches, it is crucial to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two.
The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was also a philosopher, and in a book of his collected sayings, he wrote: The universe is change; life is opinion. This statement may be interpreted in many ways, depending on the individual trying to decipher it. I feel that philosophy is a summary of life’s struggles put into one sentence, giving us insight to what life really means. As for myself, I can think of a few ways of what this statement means, why this statement is true, and how it applies to my life.
