"My Philosophy" On New Philosophy

To me, the true significance of Nietzsche within the specific discipline of philosophy is that he made a split between the “old philosophy” that had been being mauled over since the Christians picked up Ancient Greek texts, and the “new philosophy” that he predicted.

The old philosophy has pretty clear standards. In fact, everything that could have been said about how Jehovah acted through universals and Satan through the senses was said many times over before Nietzsche was a gleam in Nietzsche Sr.'s eye. This being the case, the thing to do is to re-digest it and place old ideas into new phrasings. As all the basic phrasings ran out, the deal became using ever longer and more elaborate phrasings.

Thus, the “philosophy” of old philosophy is “phrase these ideas as cleverly and originally as you can.”

The new philosophy, however, still doesn’t even exist. There are no central themes or ideas other than nihilism, which is just the emo reaction to the rejection of the “old philosophy.” So the task of the “new philosophy” is to find or make up new themes, or reject the idea of themes all together and implode.

If philosophers are to explore the idea of new themes before engaging in a complete fucking overhaul of philosophy and language itself, well, I have an idea for a way to go about it. “My philosophy” on philosophy, if you will, is the opposite of the “philosophy” of “old philosophy:” The writing must be obvious (original in a deeper sense) and concise (clever in a deeper sense).

Why?

  • So that the emerging themes are clearly identifiable and isolated. Thus, we can more easily call “bullshit” or “no, wait…”,

  • So that “old philosophy” intruders can be easily identifiable, and

  • So that we can know if the ideas actually make sense.

:-k I am addicted to the old philosophy. We all have our thoughts and ideas about who what where when and how, questions using language. Whe one of Aristotles pupils ask a question about what he thought the teacher said, he would pose another question to him too stimulate him to study the new question (as it related to the original teaching). To me the man was a genuis. We all learn (our way) reguardless what is told to us on what is the right way to learn.

We have a inborn inate ways of learning. Even tho we learn by language but how it is used, the flaw is not the language but how we use it, there is the flaw. There is the original and there’s the modified. The name philosophy has many interpretations percieved differently as individual understandings. The number (1) only can be understood a the number one. Then there’s the word wisdom, it to has many interpretations and definitions.

My goal is to (be understood) without question or doubt. I will never master English, but use it as a tool to understand as I understand philosophy. I have been away on (if you will a sabbatical so to speak) and now I am back and proud to be back. Thoughts on my post? pl

“Start over”
“Use different words”
“Use Logic”

Quantum Physics attempts such.
…it isn’t a new idea. It’s just that no one in influence has managed to do it well.

Here, I believe the old and the new may have common ground. It’s always a pleasure to discuss just about anything with a person that knows their shit.

You have been understood.
