It looks as if that philosophy is the way towards the realm of true anwsers. Philosophers are generally assumed to be capable of deep analysis, efficient generisation and trustworthy conclusion. I had no question about this until I realised that how much philosophers doubt themselves and some of the most fundamental believes of man. This makes me wanting to question just to what extent, pure philosophy has an actual influence over our society; how important it is for a person to lead a philosophical life…
Throughout our entire history, events that made great impressions on our society have been in relaion to all science subjects. Academically, what should philosopy be defined as? A subject on its own or otherwise? Metaphysics is only noticed for its “physics” part; aesthetics is much less artistical than what is commonly known as talent and genius; logics is so fundamental that kids have the idea, yet can be so complicated that considered practically useless.
From Plato’s forms to Kant’s transcendental idealism, what’s significantly changed for the world outside of the realm of wisdom? People know abstract ideas as they knew years upon years ago. Has philosophy changed the way people look at them really? Or it has just merely broke them into fractions upon fractions, that created a world of its own, in which concepts are expanded, combined and even invented?
Sure, nothing is simply black and white, philosophy stands as a subject as we have found use for it. Nevertheless, like any subject else, its limitations are apparant and shoudn’t be ignored nor denied. So being critical to even the most respected master thinkers is necessary; being inquisitive to even the most undoubtable ground ideas is unaviodable; being lucid in reasoning is the entire point.
