PHILOSOPHY.....MY LOVE.....
Two unbelievable ways of looking at human life struck my mind yesterday.....
How life would have been if human being had a lifespan of 20-30 years rather than what we have now ... right from the ancient civilizations to modern era ..... the scenario would have been completely like chalk n cheese ................
If science says (with proper proofs) world will vanish in 1 month ,how would world react ? what everyone (think about urself too) will run for??
Things or questions like this which cannot be answered comes under a branch called philosophy and philosophy is the place where we answer questions unanswered by logics or science...once a question is answered it no more remains in philosophy. So what the hell philosophy is ???
Hehe philosophy is a chatroom where ppl discuss questions and answers and those Q and A remains in philosophy until it gets answered wid proper logic and proofs or by some great person (may be wrong)
one best example i came across recently is heliocentric Vs geocentric concepts of universe. Geocentric concept was given by Ptolemy and Aristotle which says earth to b the centre of the universe, but when astronomers like Galileo proved sun to b the centre , the heliocentric concept replaced geocentric concept. Heliocentric was proved to b right but geocentric was never proved to b wrong and still is a matter of debate so subject wise speaking the geocentric remained in philosophy as it is debatable and heliocentric moved to science.
So philosophy is a kind of connecting tunnel between illogical theories with concepts just to satisfy man’s queries and logical theories with concepts to satisfy the theories itself .Anything we know today as science or logic has always been evolved from philosophy either to contradict or to support the philosophical texts.
Many scientist used the questions raised by philosophy and did extensive research to answer them scientifically not only by arguments...thus philosophy in a way is a reservoir to get research areas.
Many Questions raised by Metaphysics (cosmology) like, What is the origin of the Universe? What is its first cause? Is its existence necessary? What are the ultimate material components of the Universe? Are still unanswered and are fields of research.
What is the measuring unit of beauty or art??do we say Aish is 9B ,Bips is 7B ,Tajmahal is 100B ........
What is the measuring unit of enjoyment??do we say i enjoyed his party 10E and her only 7E.....
NO !!!!!
Philosophy has got a great solution for these under its branch called “AESTHETICS” here it explains this using the term relativism which says there is nothing called absolute in this world , everything is relative and the beauty of the concept is such that it proves judgement also to be relative (we hang sm1 only if he has murder charges, we sentence rapist for 10 years and a thief for 1 year only because we consider rape relatively harsh ).
The very famous Chinese symbol of yin-yang adheres to the concept of dualism and is well contradicted by the concept of materialism and the strangest thing is that both the contradictory theories are the branches of same branch of philosophy called “philosophy of mind” .Two contrary bodies in the same room ....fighting....hey philosophy itself is all about fighting .....(chatroom )
Dualism says everything can be divided into two parts good –bad ,body-mind etc. and they always live together and can never have its identity alone .materialism says matter is the only reality there is only body and things like mind , ethics , spirituality does not exist in reality.
I know all about the heliocentric concept but I don’t believe sun to b the centre.
I don’t know about the heliocentric concept but I believe sun to b the centre.
the first statement seems to be funny or wrong but the second one seems to b a possible thing.This difference between the truth , belief and justification is discussed in “EPISTEMOLOGY” also called “knowing the knowledge”
The other branches are also great and quite interesting like “LOGIC”(haha wondering ,yes this illogical subject has a branch called logic) ,”ETHICS”,”PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE” and “POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY”...they have many topics of discussions which becomes sizzling on the tunes of the happenings in the world....
HAPPY READING
