Philosophy Now Forum

You are the opposition of philosophy. I mean opposite such as fairness and unfairness, good and bad, and the countless other opposites that generate out of opposites.

Philosophy has a process each period of influence, a certain time it is a gift of spiritual life, an authentic element for the world consciousness.

World-spirit stands in contrast to your ilk, It is spirit that is conscious life comes about universal feeling and reverent devotion to one another. Being, conscious in what is outside self and apprehend explicit truth is world spirit rises out of the state of unkindness into the conscious universal spirit for the world.

Meaningless.

To all parties: perhaps it's best to leave people to their style of writing. This is quite a liberal philosophy forum that hardly moderates anything at all. Somehow, this may be a virtue, but then people need to realise this and refrain from throwing insults at one another!

Peace and order on the Philosophy Now forum! Cheers!

I will do what I want. I will not be put on the level as this chez person who came in Philosophy of mind blasting away with insults I am defending myself from a very negative person. I have read this person's writing and he or she has yet to say a nice thing to anyone. I do not need you as my mediator.

I suggest that you keep plugging away on your own if that is what makes you happy. But I will tell you that this is a FORUM, and from time to time people will try to engage you in debate: the clue is in the word "FORUM".
If you are too haughty to deign to answer them, then that is your look out.
Enjoy your loneliness.
I'm unsubscribing this thread.

I suggest you mind your own business, for what I see you too have attributes that need working on.

Belittling others abilities is being just opinionated. Whatever I admit to understanding about philosophy is not merely to persuade someone of my abilities.

I try never tell any thing but the truth, though not always exquisitely. I've confined myself as much as I can, to philosophy; I prefer the undisturbed enjoyment of tranquility, to all the vain splendor of ambition.

Zeus the philosopher savior who whispers in the ear of the philosopher that no pleasure except that of wisdom be quite true and pure, he believed pleasure; seeks the guidance and company of purpose shows the truest pleasures the highest degree attainable to self.
Our house in order nevertheless then the philosopher lives after this manner and has nothing to do with any other.
tyrant
The servant of the best should to be friend and principle analogous to the constitution of humanity the hearts of our custodians and leaders.

If any one informs me that they found a person who knows all and all things else that anybody knows, and every single thing with a higher degree of accuracy than any other person, whoever tells me that I can only conceive them to be a tyrant and unable to analyze the nature of knowledge.

Ask them have they cured people like Asclepius, or left behind a school of medicine such as the Asclepiads were, or whether they only talk about respecting military tactics, politics, education, the chief subjects of tyrants. They cannot discern what pursuits make society better such as the good order of Lacedaemon, which was due too to Lycurgus, a good legislator that benefited many cities great and small.

What tyrant has been a good legislator or has done any good, are there any war on record, which was carried on successfully by a tyrannical society?

Pythagoras who was so greatly beloved for his wisdom, and whose followers are to this day quite celebrated for the order which was named after him? Look at things as they really are and see that the tyrant is in the case of the jogger, who jogs well from the starting-place to the goal but not back again from the goal: they go off at a great speed, but in the end is without the crown.

Philosophy demands profound thinking and truth. The same as the Arithmetician draws the mind to rise out of the sea of change must quit feelings to make the nearest approach to when not saturated with feeling.

All arts and sciences and intelligences use in common that little matter of distinguishing one, two, and three or in a word Arithmetic. everyone first has to learn is not to be found anywhere in the area of belief or one-sided views.

In the mind before I can see, hear or perceive in any thing is derived knowledge that assures me that what I am doing is true. Feeling, seeing, hearing, or any other senses cannot ever assure me of anything without knowledge, it brings mere possibility to the daylight of purpose thus attaining a sense of joy in self.

Around 530 B.C. in Italy Pythagoras who was a contemporary of Thales landed in the Bay of Tarentum, at Crotona. Pythagoras had great influence on the Greco-Italian state and brought the idea of a regular community of thinkers.The story goes Pythagoras was on the way to the city when he encountered some dissatisfied fishermen who had caught nothing all day. 

Pythagoras called upon the fishing men to draw the nets one more time and foretold the number of fish the fishermen would catch. In disbelief at the prophecy the fishermen promised Pythagoras if it came true, they would follow him and do whatever he wanted them to do. 

Just as Pythagoras said his prophecy came true. The fishing men became new followers ready to do as he wanted. The first thing Pythagoras told the followers to throw back all the fish they caught into the sea because a Pythagorean eat no flesh.

Come follow the beaten path of great philosophers, imitate them be custodians of philosophy dedicated wholly to the upholding of truth; society is as good as the people. A just and good person should want to copy and not be ashamed of acting wisely and  leading a life of good.

As Goethe was inspired by Johann Gottfried von Herder put it, who believed philosophy is like a holy chain, runs through all that was transient, and has therefore passed away. Thus philosophy has been preserved and transmitted to us what ancient times produced.

Herder, "All those philosophers forgotten we must rediscover them purely by the light of reason and visualize by intelligence, without any assistance of senses, and persevere until reason arrives at last the intellectual world."

Socrates was born in or around Olympiad 77, 469 B.C., gave philosophy a entirely new direction he stands alon as the one whose conduct came closest to the idea of a good.

Neither library nor school was the place to find Socrates it was in the market or sports arena or friend's homes. The greatest of Plato's dialogues I think is the Republic, Here Socrates asked his host Cephalus an old man whom he had not seen for years what he asked, is the correct definition of justice and is injustice more gainful than justice? Socrates believed justice is one of the four virtues; wisdom, courage, temperance, justice. Of the four it is justice that is the only virtue which remains in a bad society when all the other virtues have withdrawn.

It is a high being who utters self-feeling that reveals that which is inward reveals a inner voice not the sound in metal they sound when struck or rubbed.

Voice spiritual and wonderful in utterance of self-feeling. Voice is a spiritual mechanism. Now metals sound but do not show a specific quality like voice only when get struck from outside. Voice sounds an accord, announces a spiritual character inwardly by vibrating causing the air in us to vibrate.

The phenomenon of sound is hard to grasp; it took me years to reach this point of understanding because sound varies causing it to be difficult to exhibit. The particular sound strictly speaking, is revealed through instruments that have their own specific sound. The inner oscillation of is capable of giving out a sound in two ways, by friction and vibration. Vibration is the moving to and fro, an elasticity and friction sound is noise, badly made instruments you hear clatter.

Purpose and feelings at times goes to war and a struggle prevails like the struggle of division; like an archer pushing and pulling the bow at the same time, one hand pushes and the other pulls. One bids and the other forbids, the forbidding and bidding one .the one is call purpose the other is feelings .
