Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "The truth lies neither in Thesis nor Antithesis, but a synthesis of the two!." - Hegel - 1) As most people would report, I'm all over the page philosohically; one moment I'm proving the Existence of God; the next I'm telling Christians to get over there Fear-Mongering scare tactics!.!.!.!.but in my mind, in this instance and several others you really can have your cake and eat it too!! 2) By all means study as many philosophies and philosophers as you can, but at one point in your life(sooner I hope then later); realize that none can live up to the infallible-messiah that you hope It or Them will be!. 3) Soon you will discover the contradictions and paradoxes within even the same philosophers-philosophies, some of these 'philosophies' can be reconciled and some not-so-much!. 4) What do you do then Seeker of Truth!? I used to walk away depressed, disillusioned, and disgruntled hoping for the day that someone would explain all these things to me!.!.!. 5) Granted I will disillusion your search for truth somewhere down the road, but let me help you on to your own-path if you'll allow me to do so!.!.!. 6) Words are to be read, judged, tested but never meant to be turned into Dogma; Formulas can be read and effective within certain contexts; but success and failure of Formulas are dependent on the context(variables) of any given situation!. This applies to Philosophy as well as Science! 7) Principles on the other hand, are for the most part of the Universal-sort, and are meant to be applied across many-disciplines!. These you must find on your own, some may be written in black/white on a page some may be written between the lines, and it is your path(if you so choose) to dicover each Kernal of truth!.!.!.!. 8) If your a religious-person; Think of Philosophies and Philosophers as the Letter of the law, and the principles they attempt to explain or discover as the spirit of the law!! 9) Good Luck! Always Seek! Never Depend on One-Ultimate-Source for Truth, and you'll trump any philosopher of the past or present, and you may very well, help define our future!!Www@QuestionHome@Com Philosophy is another term, nah, a euphemism of a rationale, your explanation of the world to yourself, in your voyage, your exploration, your journey through life!. During sadness, you may delve into music, poetry and madness, some will philosophize, read another man's mind who tried to understand the experience, swear that you agree with his truths!. Do you really agree with religion!? or do you just want to explore the madness of the minds who invented it!? Their fear of death!? Their fear of damnation!? the end of the world!? Their hope of salvation and final glory!? Your experience is unique, and the stories you will get will not change any of your own reflections!. Savor your lifes philosophies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com All knowledge is balanced by seeking truth, be a truth seeker!. Knowledge leads to understanding!. Consider human efforts to understand : P!.30 - ยง1 God is to science a cause, to philosophy an idea, to religion a person, even the loving heavenly Father!. God is to the scientist a primal force, to the philosopher a hypothesis of unity, to the religionist a living spiritual experience!. Man's inadequate concept of the personality of the Universal Father can be improved only by man's spiritual progress in the universe and will become truly adequate only when the pilgrims of time and space finally attain the divine embrace of the living God on Paradise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Bud H is right, be a truth seeker!. Quite New is also right in saying that philosophy is an euphemism of a rationale!. And to become a philosopher is a good thing too!. However, too much is too much because anything that is excessive could do harm or extensive damage!. Doing things IN MODERATION is my advise to you!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com no, because philosophy restricts you from doing things you want to do!. when you involve philosophy into your life, it gets too much!. philosophy is too hectic if you let it in your life!. just live you life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
