I see philosophy as a parallel universe, only this one is in the mind. It has many links to the physical universe we all live in but it has many links outside of the physical universe too.
Is something we could not name it, prove it or to acknowledge it....Is all about understanding....however, with a risk that one day we might reach our peak of our potential to fullly understand this existence
It is another kind of knowledge...arrangement of data we get knowledge...connection of knowledge we get equations (truth)
Equations i believe is another type of knowledge with higher level of complexity that create most of our acknowledge knowledge...Is something we could grasp a piece of it through understanding...but coulnt hold it tight
What philosophy do is try to connect everything together...to make sense of this highly immense existence...to contain this way beyond universe with mind.....to seek Another kind of status or position where we are in this existence
Our brain is the map of this existence...and philosophy help us to read this map or as well as to complete it
Added on August 4, 2009, 12:54 pmJust my defination...U can disagree with me....But plz post ur defination as well...I prefer ur own defination...Not the defination we found in wikipedia
Wikipedia defination:'Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, truth, beauty, law, justice, validity, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing these questions (such as mysticism or mythology) by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on reasoned argument. The word is of Greek origin: φιλοσοφία, philosophía, "love of wisdom".'

yes i will, usually what i do is discuss it with other philosophers around the world...exchanging idea and knowledge...i prefer this way of learning...I was once been a joke when i ask them which philosophy's book to read 1st... they said a piece of paper and pencil is way too good enough to start philosophy...Only when i have contribute my orginal thoughts then i will be good enough to start reading philosopher's idea...Because usually amateur of philosopher just tend to follow the idea of other philosophers before even construct their own thinking

QUOTE(hako @ Aug 5 2009, 10:12 PM) Most people can't answer this question. It's too abstract. It's also controversial. Philosophers themselves can't agree on any answer. Sure, the name "philosophy" derives from the Greek for "love of wisdom", but what's that? There has been a long and glorious history of people called philosophers, but they talk about all kinds of topics in all kinds of ways. It is not clear what, if anything, they have in common that makes them all philosophers. philosophy studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man's relationship to existence. … In the realm of cognition, the special sciences are the trees, but philosophy is the soil which makes the forest possible. —Ayn Rand, Philosophy, Who Needs It One thing is for sure, we live in a world of uncertainty....which by means not knowing everything...and usually cause confusion for ppl just intend to know than understand...But for explorer or pioneer of knowledge, this situation trigger and maintain their curiosity about this exisstence...I guess this is what malaysian lack off....therefore we tend cling on the road of others had laid, and we lost our way...Way of nature...the fundamental ways how human become dominate i believed |
