VOLUME FOUR NUMBER ONE
May 2017
excerpt from the Editorial
“Learn to write by learning to read, and then you will see what I mean by enjoying life, and here I mean the life of philosophy.” (Abulad, 2017) Reading, writing, and doing research are the main core of any discipline, more so in philosophy. Publication, on the other hand, can be considered as the concretization of the abovementioned. In line with this, it is with great pleasure that we present the fourth volume of TALISIK: An Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy. Similar to the approach we had in the previous volumes, we collated articles that do not adhere to a singular theme or philosophical period so as to be inclusive of the various interests of both our contributors and readers. However, unlike the previous volumes of TALISIK, the May 2017 issue showcases some articles by philosophy students from another university, i.e. University of the Philippines – Los Baños.
