Philosophy (in the sense of knowledge) is knowledge that is
methodical, systematic, and coherent about the whole reality (whole and
universal), and then (in the sense of a way of life) is the directions of
activities in all areas of human life. In other languages, philosophy known as
philosophy (UK), philosophie (French and Dutch), filosofie, ijsbegeerte
(Netherlands), philosophia (Latin). The word "philosophy" itself is
derived from the Arabic, the "falsafah". Etymologically, philosophy
or the falsafah itself comes from the Greek, which philos which means love or
filo (in the broad sense), and sophia or sofia which means wisdom. Thus, from
the perspective of its origins, philosophy can be defined as the love of
wisdom.
Value is the nature or
quality of something useful for human life, both physically and spiritually. Value
relates to the ideals, desires, expectations, and every internal consideration of the human. Thus, the value is not concrete and inherently subjective.
The word "ethics" is derived from the Greek word ethos
(character), and from the Latin word mores (customs). Together, they combine to
define how individuals choose to interact with one another. In philosophy,
ethics defines what is good for the individual and for society and establishes
the nature of duties that people owe themselves and one another.
Moral contains integrity and dignity of a person. The status of
a person's personality is determined by his morality. The essence of moral
which contained in a person's personality is reflected by his attitude and
behavior. According to Franz Magnis-Suseno (1991:14), moral is the teachings,
discourses, sermons, standards, set rules and regulations, whether oral or
written, about how to live and act in order for become a good person.
