This modest website was created last November 7, 1999 for the philosophy students of Amy Chaves at Xavier University, Philippines, in particular, and for the global community in general. It is through the encouragement and the computer creativity of her son, Jan Amcil Chaves, that this website became possible. It is intended to challenge her students to augment their knowledge in philosophy through international research and to enhance their appreciation of the diversity of ideas presented via the Links. The Forum, and the Guestbook are meant to foster communication outside the classroom, to encourage free exchange of ideas and life experiences not only among her students but also between peoples regardless of age, sex, nationality, religion and beliefs.
Course outlines, assignments and other announcements pertinent to the respective subjects are accessible through the Courses. Philosophical papers and literary works by Amy Chaves may be accessed through the Articles and Essays. The Home Page is the first page you get to read where you can learn more about Amy Chaves as a person and as a friend.
Being the first Faculty Website of its kind at Xavier University it stands corrected for any improvement it needs. The Feedback may be used for this purpose. HAPPY BROWSING! Click here to continue.
Quotes of the week
"When souls really touch, it is forever. Then space and time disappear, and all that remains is the consciousness that we are not alone in life." (Joan Chittister)"Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough." (Dinah Shore)"You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a fine spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." (Woodrow Wilson)"When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude ." (Elie Wiesel)"What we probably know in our hearts but fail to acknowledge is that there is no perfect person awaiting our arrival and that no orgasm has much significance outside of a relationship. Each person is flawed in some way but has the potential to be a wonderful friend and lover. Each sexual experience outside of a relationship is like a whiff of poppers or a toke of grass. They frequently provide momentary pleasure but they are only a distraction from a real need to love and be loved." (Brian McNaught)"Don't regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many." (Unknown)"One day in retrospect the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful." (Sigmund Freud)"There is no pillow as soft
as a clear conscience." (French Proverb)
