2 Refleksi Filsafat Pend. Matematika



 
“Philosophy and Life”

          We can put philosophy in front of everything, so we can put philosophy in front of mathematics, mathematics education. Because filasafat object is there and there may be so that the object of philosophy of mathematics is that there and there may exist in mathematics, object of mathematics education philosophy is that there and there may exist in mathematics education.
          Philosophy is live. We can study about philosophy with use life approach. So we study philosophy with built the philosophy. Philosophy is a process to think. Therefore, we can work that philosophy with logic and experience because they can be used to think. Think about something said to be completed if supported by logic and experience The people that have ability not use their experience to think, philosopher say that the people is undead. So the benefits philosophy was if we think and reflect because philosophy is the reflexive thinks.
          When we do something and do not know what this means then it can be said to be a myth. even small children learn something with mythical. they know something without knowing beforehand what it means. like a child knowing something was burning is hot.
          Philosophy is harmony. Harmonious is balanced, something said to be balanced if it does not stop or anything that moves.
          Object of anything in this world have characteristic. During we can think even if we do not find the character because at least he has a trait we can think of. Characteristic  determine the nature of the object . Characteristic also can be seen from anywhere. Therefore it is the nature of life. So there is a law of subject and predicate which  characteristics acts as subject.
          We can define philosophy as anything. the most important in defining philosophy is how we define the philosophy and why we define it as such. objects of philosophy is that there is and maybe then we can define a philosophy holding that may exist in our minds. Dimention of philosphy depend of we think about the philosphy.
My question is relaed with Mr. Marsigit’s elegy “Jebakan filsafat”
Philosophy is a thought . Phylosophy is reflexive activity. So it can be said that philosophy is the result of my thinking. So whether it's a trap philosophy? Did trap philosophy is an illusion that we create in our own minds?

“What Philosophy Is”


Reflection 1 . Philosophy of Mathematics Education

“What  Philosophy is”

          In this semester, I took a course Philosopyh of Mathematics Education or if we translate to Bahasa is Filsafat Pendidikan Matematika. And then the questions is, What  Philosophy is?
          Before we talk about what philosophy is, first we announce that the name of this subject that can be dillemma, because Philosphy and Filsafaat have different meaning.
          We can see the philosophy from a variety of directions, so that philosophy itself has many meanings.
          Philosophy relating to assumptions. If we assume something then we are building the philosophy. So we can conclude that philosophy is thought.
          We also can think that philosophy like world. We can put “wold” in front of anything. For example, world of animals, world of plant, so on. It also apply in philosophy. We can put “philosophy” in front of anything. So we can conclude that everything has philosophy. Such as, the philosphy of religion,philosophy of mathematics,  etc. This is because the object of philosophy there is all that exists and may exist so there are many objects of philosophy. In other words, we can say that philosophy is life. Philosophy is something alive so we can learn philosophy by using alive methods.
          Philosophy is a procedure or etiqutte. Everything in this world has their own way procedures. So philosophy is to learn about of procedures.
          In daily life, we need a mirror to see our performance. We also need the reflection to see what we’ve done as a correction. It also the meaning of philosophy, reflection.
          We also need tools to using philosophy and the tools is analog languges. Analog languages is highe than figurative language. The meaning also deeper and broder.
          So, we can define philosophy as anything that tailored to the needs. And unse alive methood and analog language as the tool.
          Now my question, how the interaction between philosophy and mathematics education?
