About the Book Wisdom and Silence (Nakem ken Ulimek) is a modest contribution to the pursuit of a huge dream; that is, the pursuit of the elusive Nakem, the consciousness of the Ilokano and the core of their being as a people. It explores to work out a philosophical rendition on the rich resource of indigenous culture and language from the perspective of the Ilokano-Filipinos of the Amianan or northern Philippines. Wisdom and Silence affirms the beauty of non-Western perspectives as hermeneutical keys to the grandeur of existence. There is then more to wisdom traditions than the Western paradigm that wittingly or unwittingly has sadly silenced other sources of creative thought. Wisdom and Silence aims to give a voice to those other wisdom traditions. It emboldens the commitment to the creative formation of philosophical approaches to the study of indigenous cultures, in view of achieving an adequate understanding of the complexity of human society. Wisdom which inspires harmony grows out of diverse discursive spaces created by different cultures and modes of thinking. Wisdom and Silence opens the discursive space for the emergence of an indigenous Ilokano philosophy that hopes to contribute to the decolonization of the Philippine mind. Decoloniality is not so much a wholesale severance of Western influence, but an awakening of uniquely cultural creativity to understand the world in new ways. About the Author Danilo S.

This collection of essays offers another way to look at the encounter between the Western and the indigenous. It suggests that through a dialectical process, this encounter has generated a broader sense of community that has transcended the kin. Local genius transformed Spanish influences, even as it was itself transformed by the latter, resulting in a new culture. Finally, "Southeast Asia" is a recent construct that should be redefined to reflect the diversity of cultures present in it.

The book is a collection of essays designed by the author to present an autobiographical sketch of his development as a person. The conceptual underpinning of the book as project is that the rich, varied life experiences of the author, as seen through the prism of his philosophical reflections, present an interesting narrative that readers would find appealing because they are at once both personal and universal. The author starts by declaring that he is an activist, and he sees reality from that perspective. He goes on to trace what he considers his roots in terms of actual early life experiences and ideological journey, giving the reader an initial sense of who the author is. The first transition informs the reader about the author's relocation to Indonesia. This is followed by an individualized narrative about his family members that lets the reader peek into the author's operating concepts both as partner to his wife and parent to his children. This is followed by stories about persons that influenced his growth as a person, again giving the reader a sense of the author's core values. The second transition is about his relocation to the United States that entailed personal sacrifices from both the author and his wife. The next grouping of essays deals with the author's philosophical reflections on what he considers important life-altering topics. The book ends with two essays that deal with sickness and death and how coping with these has profoundly shaped his view of life.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 17th and 18th Centuries, grade: 1.8, , language: English, abstract: This will help the readers to better understand John Locke’s philosophy of knowledge and the Filipinos’ social and religious dimensions. In the philosophy of knowledge, they will be able to know where knowledge comes from. They will know how it is acquired. Likewise, they will see how it is being formed out of ideas and its formation process. Then they will come to realize its truthfulness and validity. In the social dimension, the readers will be moved by their humility. They will learn how Filipinos relate themselves to each other. They will love the Filipinos more than they do after reading this. On the other hand, the readers will also love their own God more than they do when they discover the Filipinos’ fidelity. They will be thinking that these people are holy and so worthy of respect. Finally the readers will see the connection between Locke’s philosophy of knowledge and that of the Filipinos’ two dimensions. They will also find out how it is made possible. They will be able to examine themselves the strongest and weakest points of this matter. But their decision will still be to appreciate this kind of work. Then they will acknowledge the researcher for having shared his brilliant knowledge.
