Making Sense of Philosophy
When one thinks of philosophy, they are often reminded of perplexing thought experiments often heard from lectures. Philosophy is more than just struggling to understand thought experiments or getting lost in one’s own rumination. It invites us to expand, develop, defend, and criticize not only one’s worldview but of others as well. This blog offers fresh perspectives in the philosophical discussions of the Truth, Self, Freedom, and Morality. Join young minds as they make sense of the world through philosophy.

If everything has a reason, then is anything ever our choice? If we have so many factors pointing us in a particular direction, are we ever truly free to follow our own path? Should we even bother to imagine a future for ourselves if the universe has already decided our fate? In a culture that bears such rigid expectations, I sometimes wonder if we are truly free or simply trapped within the limitations set for us. As Filipinos, and as people in general, do we have the freedom to be free?
