0:00Okay Uh magandang ah Magandang umaga po

0:02sa

0:04lahat Uh our lesson our lesson for today

0:09is about virtue

0:12ethics so ito pong virtue ethics Ito po

0:16ang

0:19pinakaunang topic natin

0:22ah sa ethical frameworks

0:25[Musika]

0:30so Ito po yung dapat nating matutunan at

0:33the end of this

0:35class that you should be able to

0:38discuss the meaning and basic principles

0:42of virtue

0:45ethics if you do not know the definition

0:48it is very difficult for us to

0:53know

0:55um the basic principles of

1:00virtue ethics Along The

1:03Way and then second one it is important

1:07to

1:08distinguish the virtuous act from non

1:11virtuous

1:12acts according to the principles of

1:15aristotel virtue ethics and then at the

1:18end We will be able to apply aristotel

1:21ethics in understanding the Filipino

1:25character so meron po itong application

1:27at the end Okay Now let's move on to

1:30another

1:31slide okay if you look at

1:35the the

1:41slide the ontology and

1:47utilitarianism are the two ethical

1:51frameworks that focuses on the

1:55actions of a

1:58person so ang ethical frameworks po na

2:02ito ay naka-focus doon sa question na

2:06What should I do So particular question

2:09po o particular action rather ang

2:13kanilang um tinitingnan kung ang action

2:17ba ay moral or hindi moral for the

2:21ontology an action is

2:26moral

2:28If there is a intention with

2:32it and it is

2:35done for the sake of Duty so ang action

2:40is

2:43good and the intention is also good for

2:49utilitarianism a moral action is an

2:54action with good

2:56consequence meaning to say

3:00um Maganda po ang kanyang consequence or

3:04ang kanyang result and it is useful and

3:07It gives

3:10happiness to

3:13people so what about virtue

3:17ethics ang Focus po ng virtue ethics is

3:21not on a particular action but a person

3:26itself Yan po meaning to

3:30a person will not be a moral

3:35person if that person does a good action

3:39only

3:40once so instead of What should I do the

3:45focus of virtue ethics is what should I

3:49Be what should I Be anong klaseng tao ka

3:53Anong klaseng character meron

3:57ka yun po ang Focus virtue ethics unlike

4:01the ontology and

4:03utilitarianism who focuses on a

4:07particular action that is why virtue

4:12ethics is a theory of

4:15morality that makes virtue the central

4:19concern yun po ang kanilang concern yun

4:22po ang kanilang

4:26Focus that is why virtue

4:31ethics focuses on the

4:34formation of virtuous

4:37character sabi nga po ni

4:41aristotel when it comes to moral

4:45virtue It is a result of habit From This

4:49it is also

4:51plain that None of the moral virtues

4:54arises in Us by

4:56nature but the virtues we get by first

5:00exercising them as also happens in the

5:03case of the art as well for the things

5:06we have to learn before we can do them

5:09we learn by doing

5:11them

5:13men become builders by building a Li

5:18players by playing the Li So to become

5:22just by doing

5:24just temperate by doing temperate

5:30doing Brave acts so for

5:36aristotel the formation of virtuous

5:41character can be done not by only

5:45knowing but by acting it

5:50habitually so Yan po ang

5:52pagkakaiba ng virtue ethics sa

5:55ibang ethical frameworks

6:05Okay paano ba natin

6:08maintindihan yung virtue ethics ni

6:10aristotel so we will do it step by

6:15step so we will Begin with this idea of

6:20Purpose anan

6:23po diyan po T

6:26maguumpisa so inan

6:31aristotel actually

6:33asserted that everything that we

6:36do ay nakao po doon sa particular

6:41purpose everything that we do Ay meron

6:44po tayong particular aim or purpose So

6:49lahat po ng ginagawa natin ay Meron pong

6:53purpose that is why aristotel

6:57is ang kanan p Uh ethical theory is

7:01theological Okay

7:03telos so the Greek word of end or

7:07purpose is telos dahil naniniwala po

7:10siya na lahat ng ating ginagawa at lahat

7:13ng umiiral sa mundong ito or even in the

7:17universe ay Meron pong

7:22purpose purpose can be our goal ah In

7:28Action but it is also our goal as a

7:33being okay sa pagiging isang tao lahat

7:37ng ginagawa natin na may purpose pero

7:39tayo din po ay merong purpose It's like

7:42a table ang table po ay meron siyang

7:46purpose and the purpose of the

7:51table ay dapat po magagawa niya okay

7:56Otherwise kung hindi magagawa ng table

8:01or the table that serve purpose then the

8:05table is

8:07useless

8:10so tayo

8:12po ay nag-aral as student at meron po

8:17tayong aim sa pag-aaral perhaps

8:20makakuha ng mataas na marka makapasa sa

8:24klase makakuha ng honor at the end of

8:29the

8:30um let's say at the end of the

8:34graduation so that Later on maging

8:36maganda po ang ating

8:38career and then we can have

8:41wealth and we can

8:45travel so for aristotel and I think we

8:49have also to know that these are

8:51instrumental

8:52goods instrument

8:56goods instumental good

9:00ito p mga purpose or ito p aim na

9:03ito

9:05ay hindi po siya yung pinaka talaga for

9:09the highest purpose so that is why

9:13sinasabi ni arist if we have different

9:16purposes or

9:18aims so meron po tayong hierarchy of

9:21telos or telo na

9:24tinatawag so there Must Be An ultimate

9:28goal

9:30Okay kasi we have different goals TH

9:33there Should Be An ultimate goal and

9:38[Musika]

9:39aristotel

9:41acknowledge that our highest or ultimate

9:45goal is y

9:48daemonia which is translated as

9:52happiness or

9:54flourishing Bakit po ang ud demonia or

9:57happiness or flourishing

9:59is our highest goal or ultimate goal or

10:04the ultimate goal of an individual or a

10:08person Meron po itong dalawang

10:11qualifications

10:13Okay the first one Happiness is a final

10:17it is our final end it is highest end

10:22and it

10:24[Musika]

10:28sent

10:30ba para po masasabi nating

10:33self-sufficient siya and it is final

10:36because wala na pong kasunod

10:39doon So this is an argument of aristotel

10:42and for him Happiness is a

10:45final and it is self

10:49sufficient so Happiness is our intrinsic

10:54good because we need it for the sake of

10:58itself Not for the sake of someone

11:01Something Else we do not use happiness

11:05as a means to our end but it is our

11:09ultimate goal as a

11:13person so The question is Ito po yung

11:18tanong how can we attain ung demonia or

11:23happiness okay Yun po ung tanong

11:27natin So mapa sa tayo paano ba natin

11:30siya

11:31maat and for for aristel you demonia is

11:35not just a

11:37feeling but it is a psychological

11:40disposition okay ang ang happiness po sa

11:43kanya is not just now titingan natin

11:47yung buong buhay ng isang

11:50tao at doon po natin masasabi

11:53kung ang taong ito a

11:57masing back to question How can we

12:01arrive to y daemonia Yan po yung tanong

12:04natin

12:05[Musika]

12:07ngayon so aristotel Uh begins with this

12:12idea of function Okay

12:16yan sabi natin kanina lahat po ng um

12:20eral sa mundong ito ay meron po siyang

12:23function like a function of a table is

12:28Uh anuhan siya Uh lalagyan siya ng

12:31pagkain kainan or you use it for study

12:35and Uh the the purpose the purpose of a

12:40table is in in relation or connection to

12:44its function okay if a table does not

12:48serve its function there therefore it

12:50does not also serve its

12:53purpose so ang ang tanong din po ay ano

12:57ba ang function

12:59for the purpose of a person a human

13:03person so sabi ni

13:06aristotel Meron po tayong vegetative

13:08soul right We We are also

13:11Sen but we are different from animals in

13:14a sense that we have reason meron pa

13:17tayong tinatawag na

13:20rationality and according to aristotel

13:23the

13:24function or a function of an individual

13:28person or a human being is reason to use

13:33his reason or her

13:35reason iun po ang purpose ng isang

13:41tao okay now Ano ba ang ano ba ang ano

13:46ano ba ang

13:48ang

13:50ah maitutulong ng reason or Bakit ba ang

13:55reason or the capacity to think

13:59is

14:00our function at at at at Paano ba ito

14:06makatutulong

14:07in order to arrive to your

14:12dimon so malinaw na naman po na tayo po

14:16ay may kakayahang mag-isip at dahil may

14:19kakayahan tayong mag-isip

14:20napaka-powerful po ng ating pag-iisip

14:23and we can Actually use it in order to

14:26to choose What is good

14:29and to arrive in that particular um goal

14:34that we have because mind is very

14:37powerful and aristotel Actually

14:38acknowledge it so that is why sa ni

14:42aristotel Happiness is an activity of

14:45the human soul in accordance with the

14:48complete or perfect

14:51virtue it is an activity of our soul

14:55meaning to say our reason

14:59in order to

15:00arrive into

15:03complete or perfect virtue So ano

15:08kinalaman ng virtue dito Ano ang

15:10kinalaman ng virtue dito we know our

15:14function but

15:17virtue is a

15:19toon

15:22ay

15:24gam

15:26reason order

15:30into complete or perfect

15:32virtue because

15:36virtue is ath to happiness or

15:39flourishing or what we call the good

15:42life so a good life is Actually

15:48living in virtues in

15:52virtue because it is a to happiness or

15:57flourishing now for

15:59there are two kinds of

16:01virtue number one is intellectual virtue

16:06an ang intellectual virtue

16:09po ay natututunan natin through study o

16:20learning we Learn from our parents we

16:24Learn from our schools yung mga

16:34asal

16:37so intellectual virtue is by

16:40knowing but the other kind of virtue

16:43which is moral

16:48virtue Actually nakukuha natin through

16:53action or practice so the other one is

16:56learning moral virtue is

16:59action and it is not just an action but

17:03it is a

17:04habitual act or action natututunan natin

17:10yung moral virtue by

17:12repe that is why according to

17:15aristotel excellence is not an act It is

17:19a habit so lagi natin siyang

17:23ginagawa kapag kapag ang kindness a

17:27natin siyang gagawa at nagiging habit

17:30natin siya ang result po nito

17:34is

17:36character nagiging character na natin

17:38siya at nagiging parte na siya ng ating

17:43pagkatao for aristotel moral virtue is

17:46very

17:48important and for him his notion of

17:51moral virtue is what we call the golden

17:55me okay

17:59It is a golden

18:00mean at Ano ba yung golden mean na

18:04tinatawag it says that virtue lies in

18:09the middle or in the mean or we call it

18:13motes so ang ang virtue daw is in the

18:18mean or nasa gitna lang siya Bakit po

18:22importante

18:25ito kasi po ang ang ang moral virtue

18:29which is an action or habitual

18:34action ay a naka-focus po siya sa tanong

18:38na

18:40okay kung ang moral virtue is habitual

18:43action then paano pa natin makasisiguro

18:46or Paano tayo makasisiguro na yung

18:50ginagawa talaga natin is a virtu so ang

18:54sagot po dito golden mean as Ito po yung

18:58pangarap natin na

19:00ginagawa that virtualize in the

19:03mean So ano bang ibig sabihin nito okay

19:06for

19:08example yung pagiging

19:11Card is inde deficiency kasi merong

19:16dalawang extremes deficiency

19:21kakulangan c is in the

19:24middle and then excess or kasahan naman

19:29is recklessness okay yung hindi ka na

19:32nag-isip basta ka lang gumagawa

19:34agad-agad so sa pagiging isang

19:37sundalo being Card is not for example

19:41saong pagiging sundalo ang ang isang

19:45card ay nagtatago courage is in the

19:50middle and if ka naman bastaa kaang

19:56susugod

19:57for na virt sa another one is

20:02apathy okay Wala kaang feeling Wala ka

20:06ng pakialam

20:08Ah wala kang nararamdaman na patience is

20:13in the middle if if a person is

20:15aggressive naman it is in the excess

20:18part so basta tumbukin lang po daw natin

20:22yung mean okay that is why for aristotel

20:26ah the virtue

20:30happy life is a life of moderation in

20:34all

20:34things moderate lang dapat nasa gitna

20:37lang

20:39siya So Lagi po akong tinatanong ng mga

20:42estudyante ko sir papano ba magkaroon ng

20:48moderation sirung yung word na CS ba

20:52maapply natin in all the

20:55situation hindi

20:58kasi kahit si aristotel sasabihin niya

21:02na iba ang courage ng isang

21:05sundalo sa CS ng pagigiging

21:09estudyante It also depends on a

21:12particular

21:13situation so tinatanong ako paano sir

21:17Paano po Okay

21:21um para kay aristotel napakaimportante

21:24po ng word na practical wisdom okay

21:29ang practical wisdom is like prudence

21:32okay yung kung napasok tayo sa isang

21:37sitwason alam natin siya pagdesisyunan

21:41ng mabuti at or to have a right decision

21:45kapag nandon po tayo sa sitwasyon

21:48naon so being prudent is very important

21:52and as a person I think it is important

21:57to practical wisdom kasi ang practical

21:59wisdom Ito po talaga yung magtuturo sa

22:03atin Paano natin ma-locate

22:06or Paano natin ma-locate yung tinatawag

22:10na mean or sa gitna

22:13and practical wisdom or

22:16prones is Actually part of intellectual

22:19virtue pero hindi po natin ito

22:21natututunan sa books or kahit saan

22:24natututunan po natin ito sa ating

22:27experience

22:29So from time to time kapag na-experience

22:32natin yung mga bagay-bagay natututo po

22:35tayo

22:38and if we are fac with

22:42with with for example problems from time

22:46to time or lagi natin siyang

22:49nararanasan Actually Ano mas nagiging

22:53tayo At alam natin kung paano ito

22:57harapin kasi lagi natin siyang

23:00nararanasan at natututo tayo Yan po ang

23:03practical

23:04wisdom

23:08so Ito po ay

23:11napakaimportante sa buhay ng tao now

23:17um virtue is a path to happiness okay

23:22or human flourishing or the good life na

23:26tinatawag na now if we will have our

23:31character and we always

23:34[Musika]

23:36um follow that the golden me then we can

23:40arrive Actually to what we call your

23:43demonia for

23:48happiness Okay

23:51um in summary or to

23:55summarize virtue ethics emphasizes

24:00virtue as the central Focus okay stating

24:04that moral conduct naturally stems from

24:08virtues which are stable dispositions to

24:12act and feel according to an ideal or

24:16model of

24:19excellence so virtue is the focus of

24:22virt

24:23ethics and the formation of moral

24:26character because it is a to happiness

24:29so our function aids in cultivating

24:32intellectual and moral

24:35virtues leading to virtuous character

24:39ultimately achieving your demonia or

24:42happiness or flourishing ang lagi po na

24:46itulong ng ating function Okay in order

24:49to arrive to what we call de demonia or

24:52happiness because we can use

24:55it to actually cultivate

24:59intellectual and moral

25:04virtues So

25:06um at the

25:09end Ito po ang ating individual task

25:13Okay do you think that you demonia is

25:16our ultimate

25:18goal Why is our

25:20function important in achieving

25:23happiness and pangatlong question is how

25:27is the didn't mean applicable for you as

25:31a human being or for you as a student

25:34and how do you apply virtue ethics in

25:37cultivating our Filipino values if you

25:40have any questions You may

25:42ask and I am willing to answer

25:47it so thank you so much and I hope you
