THE SIXTH REFLECTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

THE SIXTH REFLECTION OF PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

          On December 11, 2012 at 13:00 in D.07.310, as usual, student of international mathematics education  attending  philosophy of mathematics education subject with Prof. Marsigit. Here is a reflection.

          This is the sixth reflection about the interaction General Philosophy and other Philosophy, especially Philosphy of Mathematics Education.

          In studying the philosophy of mathematics education, we found the same problem when studying other philosophies, such as philosophy of education, philosophy of mathematics, and others. And when studying other philosophies, we also found the equally problem when studying general philosophy. Studying philosophy will be easier if we are to understand the philosophy generally because studying philosophy must not be partial.

          Philosophizing was under spiritual therefore must follow the instructions of the teacher. Similarly, if spiritual learning in boarding school then must follow the instructions of his teacher because if not then it could be crazy. Therefore, in order to philosophize well, we must know beforehand in philosophizing procedures so that we can intuition in philosophy.

          As for the method or procedure used by prof. Marsigit is making elegy - elegy to facilitate students in order to build his philosophy. Elegy - elegy made ​​by prof.  Marsigit available in the his blog so that students can access anytime and anywhere so that students can develop at any time of his philosophy and the philosophy becomes alive because students can exchange thoughts, ideas, suggestions or questions to Prof. Marsigit or other students  related philosophies or other.       

          Prof. Marsigit make elegy - elegy based on the reality of the needs that exist and based on his experience. And it provides benefits to people who read it, especially the sincere, energetic  and follow instructions. However, it's never too late to study philosophy. Because the study of philosophy can depart from anything, to anyone and about anything.

          There are three things you learned in general philosophy.  First, which is  the essentially and  the science  called ontology, the second is the methodology, and the third is the benefit (epistemilogi and axiology). Philosophy that flow according to its time. Macroscopically, philosophy runs from the time of the ancient Greeks until now even until the end of time later. Microscopically, philosophy running all my life  because philosophy is myself.

          Successful people learn to say intelligent spiritual heart so that people can successfully learn the philosophy of mind can be said to be intelligent. People who fail in spiritual learning it could be crazy. Just as people learn to stop philosophy it will be a danger because it can be easily affected by myth. Myth is a satanic philosophy is nothing but arrogance and pride.

          Because we study during life it would be better if we study the method of life. Or the Greeks say as hermeneutics and the Javanese say as silahturahim. And one silahturahim in learning philosophy is to read the elegy.
