post 6 history of phil alone this article doesn't answer the question of what philosophy is.however if you look further into the highlighted terms, a definitionarises for the term philosophy,. from my understanding philosophy posesa different meaning depending on what is being looked upon.it appears that history of philosophy is always changing and there willbe no definite anwser but only a mere assumption, opinion from one whocalls themself a philosopher. like i've mentioned before in a way don'twe all have the potential of being called a philosopher, from thisarticle philosophy seemed to be a great debate. who's idea is the best,i can prove your idea wrong, let me add a little more to your thoughts.these are the things i'm sensing that went on in the different eras.no offense to all the great philosophers out there, i'm merely makingan opinion
post5 socratic universe with out any prior knowledge in the field of philosophy or even knowingits background and what its roots are i am amazed to see subjects suchas science, math, history, culture, and God under its wings.is philosophy a subject of mere opinions? thats what i'm beginning tobelieve. if that is the case, then in some way dont you think we areall philosophers. don't we all have different opinions. cant we allcome up for a reasoning behind topics examined.it seems as though the exsistance of God is major topic withinphilosophy. i personally do believe that god in some form does exsistand that he is not a controller but a form that opens doorways for usto follow if we so chose to. i pray to god to guide me through timesthat i cant seem to grasp on my own.
post 4 huxleey 2 Again, it is apparent that Mr. Huxley has very strong opinions aboutintelligence and goodwill. im not here to say if he is right or wrong,his beliefs are his beliefs and i have yet to hear any other opinionsabout this matter. here are my thoughts. i believe that yourintelligence level and characteristics of goodwill can either behindered or utilized by your families values, traditions, and culture.i've seen a person who has potential to utilize his intelligence andshow characteristics oof goodwill but because their are no other familymembers with that desire he does not break the ice. it disappointing tosee these thing. as a facilitator in the education system, you can putyour best foot forward and hope that each person you make an impact onwill use your knowledge and build on their own. forgive me if i've goneoff topic a bit, but it seems intelligence and goodwill are hot topics.i'm new to philosophy i have no recollection prio knowledge in thisarea so i'm doing my best to understand and put meaning to this all
post 3huxley1 some key points i picked out from this interview were 1 intelligence2 goodwill 3 language 4 culturei understood that intelligence and goodwill compliment each other,they work hand in hand. i have relationships with some people whoare very intelligent, they know alot about various subjects and areable to attain that information, but their actions do not representthose of goodwill, myself on the other hand, i know things here andthere and i struggle to attain information however, i feel that i ama person of goodwill. i suppose i am intellegent in the manner ofgoodwill. i therefore have to disagree that the two work hand in hand,the whole piece about words , there meanings, which subject they arepresented in, im not sure what to think beyond what was said , it waspretty much layed out to where you could understand what was beingsaid, and i don't see no further need to draw out a reasoning behindthis because it is what it is.culture, im really glad that i am a child development major and thissemester enrolled in a multicultural class, just understanding themeaning of culture can tell you alot about just being who you are, iam interested to see how these two classes will relate to eachother.
post 2 agnostic i'm kind of in agreement with greenbaja here, there are numerous factsin this world that most of us can't put our hands on that some mightconsider us ignorant, yet as long as we are at terms with the FACT thatwe don't know everything, then we will manage fairly in this world. ihate to be told i'm ignorant, but if that means, i'm a better person,then bring it on
post1 java philosophy after reading the quotes a few times , they are making more sense to me.relating them to my own life specifically, the regret quote, it fitsperfectly. i am always measuring the outcome of decisions before isettle on the one i think is better, however i feel that since i spendso much time thinking things through i am never fully satisfied,and iend up regreting the decision, no matter what it be. im feeling nowthat maybe it's sometimes best to go with gut instinct, at least thatway the regret is towards something you really believed in and not somespontaneous decision.now,the quote about the asylum sounds realistic. this is what i made ofit. knowing yourself and possibly acting upon what life throws at youin manner of preparing for the future.maybe we all know who we are, butactions rather than words speak for us.
