Philosophy
The core ideology of Emmanuel Tiu Santos is liberal social democracy. This is a synthesis of liberalism (liberal democracy) and social democracy. Liberal social democracy is a political, economic, and social philosophy that can construct a political system consisting of a liberal, libertarian, democratic, and republican state, union of states, or global union of states; a social system that envisions the construction of a just, humane, open, and prosperous society where every individual is afforded a safety net to ensure his human dignity; an economic system basically anchored on laissez-faire or market forces tempered with State intervention to level the playing field, promote social and economic justice, while attempting to approximate the egalitarian ideal. The core values of Emmanuel T. Santos are: love, truth, justice,freedom,initiative, creativity, knowledge, power (empowerment),self-fulfillment or sublimation, apocalyptic liberation, and happiness. The purpose of his life, raison d'etre, is to seek the perfection of his humanity and attain apocalyptic liberation; to touch the lives of others to make their life better or realize their best self. And attain happiness. Emmanuel T. Santos' epistemology uses reflective thinking, critical and analytical thinking, meditation, introspection, intuition, observation, and experience.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“You may decry some of these scruples and protest that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy. I am concerned, rather, that there should not be more things dreamt of in my philosophy than there are in heaven or earth.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational. On this conviction the plain man like the philosopher takes his stand, and from it philosophy starts in its study of the universe of mind as well as the universe of nature.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
