A Philosophy of Mind

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Reason assures us that what we do is true. The power of judging and distinguishing properly called reason. Descartes believed that since our thoughts cannot possibly be all true, because we are not altogether perfect, that which they have of truth must infallibly be met with in our waking experience rather than in that of our dreams.

Reasoning Descartes tells us that since our thoughts cannot possibly be all true no thing is altogether perfect, that truth must always be met with in my waking experience rather than in that of my dreams.

Here lies in the very principle of ethics, the moment of harmony as a style of thought and sensibility essentially inherently one.

Pure thought is being consciousness between self and reason. There is this conflict between reason and self, and the essential thing is the conflict should be resolved, and that the unity of both come out as a result such a unity is called ethics. For ethics contain self-conscious and at the same time a moral, which falls outside of self. Purpose operates as a mediating ground.

Philosophy depends on principles that are derived from pure thinking . That is requisite above all to try and establish truth. Pure inner thinking it quivers within like the simple motion of sun rotating on its own axis.

In the world of knowledge is the idea of good, which only makes its appearance in a time when spirit of humankind has worked its way out of apathy, insensitiveness, and indifference.

Knowledge rests upon good. Our inner principle carries out good, all things become useful and good. Everyone pursues it and makes it the end of all actions. There are three determinations of knowledge, empirical, speculative and dialectic, each one emerges from the other and in doing so each result from the other

Life is pure idealism can be grasped only by theory, wherever there is inner and outer, cause and effect, and means subjectivity-objectivity, etc., there is life. All chemical process is bound up with the general process of the Earth. In every chemical process is a determination of earth, for we are only subjective or a product a course and effect. Each is itself the other is this self-contradiction begins in the preservation of one body, the chemical process. This is an analog of life; Earth unites all determinations together within itself, like a bouquet bound together. . A vital process, no member of life can endure without it, and can only endure in a subjective vital process.
If any one thinks that reason is not in Nature, they can be shown here in magnetism. Magnetism is a highly astonishing phenomenon. What is active in magnetism is nothing material, but pure immaterial form. For instance, if we put a bit of unmagnified iron bit near a magnetized iron bit we can observe movement. One of the ends of each bit will attach itself to the north pole each one exist on its own, this physical opposition can not be separated; the north pole can not be separated form the south pole, example, if the magnet is chopped off into two each piece becomes a complete magnet, each pole affirms the other.

Knowledge and truth together is the art of reason linked together with divine law, and human law. In the decline of the Republic and in the middle ages when the Teutonic philosophy expanded a gulf has arisen and reality is no longer satisfying and acquired knowledge,
Knowledge demands in the first place philosophers who are willing to exalt profound thinking and eternal ideas. It may be regarded as the prima facie but is an other sense it is not. It is only in modern times that philosophy has been separated from the sciences. Aristotle physics is far more philosophy then physics, it is only in modern times that philosophy and science have been separated. Philosophy is very closely united to nature and so to speak, is the ultimate and absolute truth is the consciousness of science.

And those of you who have a natural talent for computing are generally quick at every kind of skill; but even those not so quick and have arithmetical training become much quicker than they would otherwise have been. Therefore numbers may be truly called necessary for the attainment of skils.. Arithmetic and geometry are a kind of knowledge in which the best learning natures should be trained in and should never give up the study.

Geometry visions the idea of good; turn and gaze toward good where full perfection is behold. Geometry draws the mind towards, arithmetic’s is of the mind, it is for the sake of skills not as a retailer or trader, who merely buy or sell but seen through the mind only.

The release of the prisoner from the chains, or more so from shadows to light not vainly with tired eyes merely seeing images in the water and shadows of truth.

Knowledge has the power of elevating mind to the highest principle to contemplate that which is best in existence, can be compared to the very light of body to the see that which is brightest in the material and visible world.

I forced me up this morning to study, again I am wondering what’s it all about. To elicit good through sacrificing individuality is actual living process and real objective consciousness.

The inner working and weaving of willpower is nothing else than pure consciousness of self, inner reality of self without knowledge, meaning or ideality, sheer implicit force within inner being. Here self-distinguishing self within self.

This routine of human life constitutes the ethical society, whole without opposition to one another, the objective civilization family life, absolute unbroken sense of security and fulfillment. This spirit known to everyone, always familiar and recognized by everyone is the ethical family in everyone as consciousness of being.

A society principled, fair, ethical maintains itself by being reflective; preserves spirit within society. This consciousness its essential as pure spirit of the entire society, which exists and makes itself, felt. Fair society is consciousness of self that comes into actuality, rises out of the state of heartlessness into the conscious universal spirit for all.

Civilization can only be ethical by being spiritual, hence spirituality the basis that shapes and preserves by labor and harmony. Civilization determined in a particular way, distinguish from within contain a relationship with the outer world exists independently outside but equally at the same time consciousness as self-consciousness.
Here enter into the sphere of opposition the state of difference, like and unlike, no thing turns into something does cannot exist, for if it did it would be no longer absolute.

It is very difficult to demonstrate in reference to visible things or to consider the question only in reference to objects of thought, to what may be called ideas.

Encouragement if I knew what I was talking about: to declare the truth about matters of high interest which is honored and loved among wise people I fear; but I carry on the argument I most need to be sure of my footing and I pray. For I do indeed believe that to be, an unintentional crime is a less crime than to be a liar about beauty or goodness or justice in the matter of laws. I am taking a risk, which I would rather run among enemies than among friends, and therefore you do well to encourage me?


The problems here is anything but easy, no easy question to answer when asked. When I am out of depth; whether fallen into a little swimming pool or in mid-ocean I must to reach the shore.

Skill is the instrument of purpose’s bare path comes on the scene and liberates the pathway to carry out purpose. Few with difficulty can hang on to purpose, yet whatever is done and whatever happens has purpose it brings us from night to daylight.. Nothing turns into something. The mind is like system and a remarkable thing it appears as consciousness but is really unconscious called the mechanical sphere of feeling. is the theoretical process

Philosophy a laborious study, there are no other sciences like it, so never lose sight of its higher objective. There is a perfection all philosophy ought to reach, and which students ought also to attain, and not to fall short of. Not till then will the pursuit of philosophy have value; otherwise no profit in them.

Now the hymn of dialectic is the perfection of philosophy and when a person starts on the discovery of the absolute by the light of perfection, and without any assistance of senses, perseveres until by pure intelligence arrives at the perception of the absolute good is dialectic.

Dialectic releases from chains the prisoner from the shadows to the images and to the light, and the same as the ascent from the underground den to the sun. But, with weak eyes the images are in water are shadows of truth.

Dialectic philosophy can maybe compare to the raising of the mind that faculty which is the very light of the body to the sight of that which is brightest in the material and visible world.

Ethics are regulated by words and character of the temper of the mind, and love of beauty, harmony, grace, and good rhythm. Ethics depend on an ordered mind. That is ethics to do the work in life, with grace and harmony must be a continuous aim.

A fair society assumes a twofold form that of a law of humanity and a law of communion with absolute spirit realized in God called, divine law as the absolute and ultimate plurality of community.

The mind is spirit which for itself maintains by being reflective; and. this consciousness its essential being as pure spirit of the entire nation which exists and makes itself felt.

Spinoza indisputably wrote the greatest work on ethics, asserted knowledge is oneness of thought. While Descartes, believed knowledge is a science. Leibniz devoted his attention to knowledge as a higher sense of self-sufficient individuality.

I am looking for a fair society where self-conscious is realized. Self-conscious the inner principle or more so the ethical order within self and other and hence a natural community or a ethical family. The family as the inner indwelling principle of social order operates in an unconscious way as the basis that shapes and preserves community together.

Belonging to an ethical family, the individual becomes not a mere oneself being but real and substantial. It takes effect no doubt within this family. In the first place, the ethical relation between the members of the family is not that of sentiment or the relationship of love.

The ethical family has merely a limited content passes through the long sequence of family broken and diversified existence and gathers family up into one completed embodiment, who has lifted family out of the unrest of a life of chance and change into the peace of simple universality.

Desire the uninhibited truth being is realized freedom realizing its independent life set before self is a universal spirit, linked together spirit comes to act and rises out of the state of unconsciousness into the universal spirit. Look at things as they really are the power and capacity of gaining knowledge and understanding exists in our mind already. All those images dwell in our imprinted in the mind

Knowledge perfect in form and possessed by every one, is offered to everyone, and made plain for all.

I know the eyes do see both small and great certainly, but only in a bewildered manner not distinguished. The mind naturally summons the aid of calculation and intelligence.
Whereas arithmetic and brains looks at small and great as individual not confused as eyesight, here arises the distinction of the visible and the logical world. Is that which is light heavy? Does a bear shit in woods? This invites thought; when there is some contradiction present, and one is the reverse of one this involves the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer.

The logical world leads mind towards truth is of the kind of knowledge for which we philosophers must carry on examine until we see truth the highest principle. Earth to the sun, shadows to the light, the effect goes beyond mere consciousness truth is an astonishing phenomenon you feel it. This invites thought; when there is some contradiction present, and one is the reverse of one this involves the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer.

Therefore whenever perceiving anything, either by the help of sight or hearing, or the purpose is freedom realized, which is absolute good and intention according with good inasmuch good is to be the aim complete. Any of the other senses, a conception of some other thing like it or unlike it appears in the mind.

Careful thought comes truth and compassion, this is Philosophy of Mind and is most good. The love of learning is the love of knowledge, which is truth and compassion gentle good gentle good gentle good and noble mind. What are required are courage, quickness, and well being. The highest truth worthy of attaining is good. Only by good do all things become of use and to your advantage. The idea of good is the spirit of Philosophy of Mind over Matter over Mind over Matter. Any of the other senses, a conception of some other thing like it or unlike it appears in the mind-matter or matter-mind for that matter.

Conscious actions must be substantial in character to carry out purpose it must be the entirely one and universal spirit; and must not be taken as if it were mere action. Spirit is immediate truth and conscious life is the good of the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer. Thus, the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer.

Mind prevails over purpose is the problem is the conflict, a struggle of division comprising of self subjective or self-interest and purpose ability to be reduced to a means to some further intention. The idea of good is the spirit of Philosophy of Mind over Matter over Mind over Matter. Any of the other senses, a conception of some other thing like it or unlike it appears in the mind-matter or matter-mind for that matter. This invites thought; when there is some contradiction present, and one is the reverse of one this involves the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer.
