The Making of a Filipino Philosopher (2009), 2009
"In the Philippines, the debate centers on the issue whether or not there is such a thing as Filipino philosophy. The author argues that there is, but it should be understood in three approaches: traditional, cultural, and national. The traditional approach names individual philosophers as in Greek philosophy where historically we name Thales, Anaximenes, Anaximander, Xenophanes, Parmenides et al. This approach answers the question, “What is your own philosophy?” The early Filipino thinkers—Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto et al.—were Enlightenment philosophers. The European Enlightenment of the 18th century traveled to Spain in the first half of the 19th century and reached the Philippines in the second half of that century. The cultural approach looks at a holistic philosophical perspective of a people on the basis of their communal languages, folktales, folksayings, cultural traits, and the like. This approach answers the question, “What is the philosophical perspective or worldview of a group of people such as a tribe or a national group?” It is said, for example, that the Filipino is philosophically fatalistic, personalistic, sensitive, caring, hospitable, and the like. Lastly, the national approach, which is a highly debatable classificatory approach, attempts to justify that expository works written by Filipinos on Western and Eastern philosophies are a manifestation of the Filipino mind as s/he hermeneutically fuses his/her horizon with the subject matter and in that sense constitute a type of Filipino philosophy. A Filipino interpretative exposition of Jean-Paul Sartre’s philosophy of human freedom, for instance, is a Filipino philosophy in this sense, that is, by virtue of the author’s nationality."
