Philosophy Class #4 (With Colonel)
*masked*
Um... Good afternoon.
My name is...
Well, you can just call me Colonel.
I'm going to be one of your substitute teachers for the next week.
As my name implies, I'm also a Colonel for King P's Pig Mask Army.
So...
Don't get on my bad side, because... Really, I'm not afraid to punish you...
Boy, this thing is hot.
*unmasked*
Um... Maybe King P won't mind me with this off.
He's not here anyway.
Uh, so let's begin.
King P told me what you've been learning about so far...
So far, it's all been moral philosophy.
Moral philosophy asks us what is right or wrong.
His Highness has been challenging you with this question.
What exactly is right and wrong?
How can you tell what is right and wrong to begin with?
There are five branches so far:
metaphysics
Epistemology
Moral
Politics
and Esthetics
Mm... By the end of the year, His Highness will review all of this with you.
For now, let's move on from Moral Philosophy into Metaphysics...
Metaphysics is the study of existence.
It asks "what is"?
Like, for example...
If Mr. Yokuba slips on a banana peel and nobody is around to see it, does it make a sound?
We can't say for sure.
Mr. Yokuba is unconscious and since nobody is around to hear it, we are unsure of what had just happened.
Uh.. Maybe I shouldn't have used that example..
I respect Mr. Yokuba, I really do.
But.. I just wish he wouldn't throw his banana peels anywhere...
Oh.. Sorry.
Metaphysics itself is divided into two subjects: materialism and dualism.
Materialism means that everything is simple as is. No double meaning
Maybe, I guess, this would be, a bit... Close-minded...
That's just me, though...
Dualism is the exact opposite.
There are two worlds: the material world and the spiritual.
Beyond this world is a spiritual plane where our consciousness will live on.
It is belief in immortality.
Ha, ha, ha... But our King P is immortal in the material sense...
He's such a strong man... I admire him so.
Oh, I'm sorry again.
I tend to drift off from time to time.
Dualism is belief that nothing is as it is.
There is a double-sided meaning to it.
That nothing is as it is and that everything has a more spiritual meaning.
Through this, we hope to answer the nature of the universe.
Even though it's impossible..
This branch is completely hypothetical and there is no true answer to it.
Um... For today's activity, please pair up with partners. Two at a time, please...
Discuss your own thoughts and beliefs of what is.
If nobody has a partner, then... I'd gladly discuss this lesson with you.
