摘要：F.P.A. Demeterio III is one of the leading contributors in the field of Filipino philosophy. He is the author of four books and over 60 articles published in local and international journals. His vast contributions in the said area form a certain pattern of discourse in Filipino philosophy. His first philosophical article was published in 1991, therefore he reached his 25th year of philosophizing last 2016. The authors of this paper returned to his writings and publications in order to design this interview according to Demeterio’s classification of Filipino philosophy in 2013. Hence, the research team were able to identify his four major discourses in Filipino philosophy: 1) critical Filipino philosophy, 2) Filipino philosophy as the appropriation of foreign theories, 3) philosophizing using the Filipino language, and 4) exposition of foreign theories. In order to determine the pattern, extent, and depth of his Filipino philosophy in the past 25 years, the authors conducted the interview according to his four salient discourses in Filipino philosophy. This project aims to introduce Demeterio as a significant Filipino philosopher to scholars, students, and those who are interested in the area of Filipino philosophy.
