rilke 23-Sep-06, 11:05	Philosophy Is the study of the truth or principles underlying all real knowldege.A calm and reasonable attitude accepting things as they are and making the best of them.It is a love of wisdom. Its purpose is to portray as an objective and unemotional pursuit of the truth. It is to reflect and show how questions and questioning are vital to our lives.
migchess20 23-Sep-06, 17:51	Una Opinion Hola Amigos Aqui les envío una definición sobre Filosofía: Filosofía es la Ciencia que trata sobre las leyes universales que se hallan subordinadas la personas. El objetivo principal como ciencia especial estriba entre el pensar y la persona, En la antigüedad la filosofía fue única pero debido a los diferentes avances esta comenzó a dividirse en la diferentes ciencias, dependiendo de cual era su objeto de estudio así aparecieron las matemática, la Lógica, Biología, Astronomía, Física, Química, Sociología, Psicología, Historia, etc. A la par de la Filosofía están también las diferentes religiones, que dan sus diferentes puntos de vistas, dependiendo de la cultura. En la antigüedad todas formaban un conjunto, pero con el avance científico se separaron. Muchos Saludos migchess20
rilke 23-Sep-06, 20:14	La Filosofia Buena tu idea de ver la perspectiva Historica de la Filosofia. Miguel, en los tiempos antes de Socrates la filosfia era mas conectado con los origenes del Universo. Good idea to bring the historcial perspective of Philsosphy.In antiquity, the pre-socratics view Philosophy connected with the origens of the Universe.
mohabon 26-Sep-06, 06:06	Philosophy For me Philosophy is a method to try to know himself and so to apply the Socrate's sentence : Know yourself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.
rilke 26-Sep-06, 06:17	Socrates He also said "the unexamined life is not worthy". "Know thyself" was Socrates main stream of Philosophy.When he confronted the Oracle, to find who was the wisest man in Athens; and even when the Oracle said that he was the wisest man of Athens; he was still not satisfied with the Oracle's answer. So he start asking questions to poets, artists, politicians, philosophers......he found out those ppl knew their craft, but they did not have the enough knowledge to know what they know. In conclusion, Socrates claim that he was the Wisest man in Athens.Even Socrates did not write anything;but his legacy is still with Philosophers and with us. His place in Philosophy is very important for the study of future generations.
mohabon 26-Sep-06, 06:28	Socrates a lot of answers are inside us. Remember Oedipe and the Sphinx ( by the way a beautiful painting from Ingres)...Oedipe found the anwers inside him..
rilke 26-Sep-06, 07:31	Oedipues Yes ,indeed he found his answers so late. After all Oedipus saw better his insights after losing his eyes.
rilke 28-Sep-06, 09:20	What, then, is philosophy? It is the persistent effort to transcend the limitations of science while respecting the fundamental standards of intellectual attainment upon which science has come to insist. It is also the effort to transcend the limitations of religion whie respecting or not the fundamental standars of faith and biblical foundations. The Philosopher has an eye of wonderment at the world;an individual research in the critical and rigorous fashion in which that wonderment is satisfied.
rilke 25-Oct-06, 13:42	Whitehead Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality ( 1929 ), claims that "every philosophy will suffer a deposition". If he is correct, philosophies comes and go. None has the last word. but each one contributes to a conversation destined to continue as long as people ask questions that seek understanding and wisdom.
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 17:52	Phil Haverstick's question...your thoughts If I awake one morning and find that I'm a cockroach (see Kafka's "Metamorphosis"), would I recognize the world? I think the answer is "no". But, what does this answer imply about the nature of reality?
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 17:56	any thoughts????? If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 17:59	your thoughts??/ Is there such a thing that you call your “self”? If so, describe it. extraxt from" Basic Philosophy for Beginners"
amitanandan 16-Nov-06, 00:35	philosophy Best thoughts of the best mind

ribbleton 29-Jan-07, 04:45	What is Philosophy Philosophy is speculation. It begins where science ends?
rilke 29-Jan-07, 06:07	Too abstract Prof. Walter Sinnot Armstrong said that Philososphy is too abstract to define it. It is controversial. Even between People who called themselves Philosophers can not agree or find an answer.It can be a systematic or method to view life. The greeks called Philosophy as "Love of Wisdom."
ribbleton 29-Jan-07, 09:16	self-refuting To say something lacks a definition is to give one-albeits inadvertently! In this case philosophy is being defined as a subject that cannot be defined!
rilke 29-Jan-07, 09:20	Live by philosophy But a Human being can live by his/her own philosophy. It is a manifestation of life; just like energy; you cannot see it. but we it is manifested in many forms.
ribbleton 29-Jan-07, 09:30	A little redundant? It is perfectly true that objects can exist and be nowhere. However not much is being denied by my humble attempt. When one lives by a 'philosophy' one is in a constant state of speculation. Is life itself not 'doubt'?
rilke 10-Aug-09, 14:37	Wisdom In 3 words: Pursuit of Wisdom.
