A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

The principle of ethics is known to everybody, familiar to all individuals. The laws of the social order are human law, determined by a unified way of life. The two are inseparable in the life of a community at this level of social consciousness. The life of individuals in the community have to be reconciled.

Just as sense perception has many properties, so too ethical family involves many relationships. Ethical family assumes a twofold form, that of a law of humanity and a law of communion with absolute spirit realized in God as the absolute and ultimate plurality of community.

[Barbara Brooks]

Ethics is the pulse of philosophy but takes effort in reaching this concord good magnificence, it flows like a gentle wind from a purer region.

The task of philosophy to reawaken the ethical spirit, which has fallen into such disunity in such a way citizens roam wild unfettered without ethical order.

Ethics is essentially is as much spiritual as community set outside the family, Living in the world must not be taken as if it were merely an act of experience The ethical act is a process and must be substantial in character and universal that lifts self out of the life of chance and change, into world peace, a simple universality.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Moses (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה, Modern Moshe Tiberian Mōšéh; Greek: Mωϋσῆς Mōüsēs; Arabic: موسىٰ Mūsa) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a religious leader, lawgiver, and prophet, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed. Also called Moshe Rabbenu in Hebrew (מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ, Lit. "Moses our Teacher/Rabbi"), he is the most important prophet in Judaism,[1][2] and is also considered an important prophet in Christianity and Islam, besides a number of other faiths.

Cyrus the Great (Old Persian: ,[2] IPA: [kʰuːruʃ], Kūruš,[3] Persian: کوروش بزرگ, Kūrosh-e-Bozorg) (c. 600 BC or 576 BC – December[4][5] 530 BC), also known as Cyrus II or Cyrus of Persia,[6] was the founder of the Persian Empire under the Achaemenid dynasty.[7]

It was under his own rule that the empire embraced all previous civilized states of the ancient Near East,[7] expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Southwest Asia and much of Central Asia, parts of Europe and Caucasus. From the Mediterranean sea and the Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, to create the largest empire the world had yet seen.[8]

The reign of Cyrus lasted between 29 and 31 years. Cyrus built his empire by fighting and conquering first the Median Empire, then the Lydian Empire and the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Either before or after Babylon, he led an expedition into central Asia, which resulted in major campaigns that brought "into subjection every nation without exception."[9] Cyrus did not venture into Egypt, as he himself died in battle, fighting the Massagetae along the Syr Darya in December 530 BC.[10

Romulus and Remus are Rome's twin founders in its traditional foundation myth. Their maternal grandfather is Numitor, rightful king of Alba Longa, a descendant of the Trojan prince, Aeneas and father to Rhea Silvia (also known as Ilia). Before their conception, Numitor's brother Amulius deposes his brother, kills his sons and forces Rhea to become a Vestal Virgin, intending to deprive Numitor of lawful heirs and thus secure his own position; but Rhea conceives Romulus and Remus by the god Mars or the demi-god Hercules. When the twins are born, Amulius has them exposed them to die. They are saved by a series of miraculous interventions and are found by a she-wolf who suckles and cares for them. Then a shepherd discovers them: he and his wife foster them and raise them to manhood as shepherds. The twins prove to be natural leaders, and acquire many followers. When told their true identities, they kill Amulius, restore Numitor to the throne of Alba Longa and decide to found a new city for themselves.

Theseus (Greek: Θησεύς) was the mythical[1] founder-king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra lay with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order.[2] As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Ionian founding hero, considered by Athenians as their own great reformer: his name comes from the same root as θεσμός ("thesmos"), Greek for institution. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented emblematically in his journey of labours, subduing highly localized ogres and monstrous beasts. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace that was excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of all the People") and Peitho on the southern slope of the Acropolis.
In The Frogs, Aristophanes credited him with inventing many everyday Athenian traditions. If the theory of a Minoan hegemony[3] is correct, he may have been based on Athens' liberation from this political order rather than on an historical individual.

The saving grace of truth is bravery. Courage is a mighty agent, preserves under all circumstances is the mightiest of all virtues. But what makes a person virtuous is justice. I think we are catching a glimpse just watch that it does not creep away, pass out of sight and escape.

Justice has path, little light and if we go about looking for what we already have we look not at what we are seeking, but what are far off in the distance therefore we fail to recognize it.

Justice ithe only virtue, which remains in government when all the other virtues, temperance and courage and wisdom, have gone, there is justice. Lower ye my bucket where we stand, justice is in our own hands.

If we want to see our purpose in its perfect beauty we must take a longer and more circuitous road and at the end reason will appear; nothing short of the most finished picture should satisfy us.

Little things elaborated how ridiculous. the highest truth worthy of attaining must be the highest accuracy for nothing imperfect is the measure of anything.

The idea of good is the highest knowledge and where all other things become
useful and advantageous. If every soul pursued good and made it the end of all their action we would be like the eye when resting upon that on truth shine with understanding and intelligence.

[Barbara Brooks]

So many people are persuaded knowledge is difficult to learn they never raise above the senses, accustomed to excepting imagines to give assurance of truth.

In the world of knowledge is the idea of good appear in a time when the spirit of the people have worked its way out of numbness stands in contrast to apathy into the idea of good the highest knowledge and if every one pursued it in all their action carry out good.

There is apprehension? It is sure to pass skepticism brings about only despair, doubt and mere opinion, that follows straight away doubt but knowledge transcends what is limited, negative and transcends self-consciousness.

[Barbara Brooks]

Free thinking without any specifications and filling is pure knowing because pure knowing is the ultimate absolute truth of anything; Free thinking is the immediate being unfolding into the world.

We truth searchers think immediately when we look at the movements of the stars and heaven and the things in heaven are framed by God in the most perfect manner.


It is the task of philosophers to reawaken free thinking , not as if it were merely act of service but that we lift out of life’s chance and change into world peace.

[Barbara Brooks]

Descartes' believed being and thought are inherently the same, pure abstract thought or more so inner essence. That pure self-thinking that quivers within philosophy must be dependent on pure thinking, that is requisite above all to try to establish certainty.

In the decline of the Republic and also in the middle ages when the Teutonic philosophy expanded when people acquire. Knowledge demands in the first place on profound freedom of thought regarded as the prima facie of philosophy.

It has only been in modern times that philosophy, has been removed from science. For example, Aristotle science is far more philosophical then just physics, it was only in modern times that philosophy and science have been separated from nature when so to speak, nature is the ultimate and absolute truth of consciousness.

I think I understand what you are suggesting but the wording can be confusing. Mite I offer this: does 'free thinking' avoid the influences of the conditions of the world, such as how we are raised, the schools we attended, the politics of our society? Is free thinking "free"? Or is this "freedom" a conditioned determinant on how we view the world. The significant questions would be: if I do not consider my self free, am I not free? Or am I more free? Am I considering my freedom with reference to others that are not free? How do others situate their freedom to the idea of 'free-ness' that I presume is the opposite of 'not-free'. Freedom, as I question here, of 'thinking' is the issue. And finally, what is this thought that I have upon 'what is free'? Do I adhere my definition to what has been given me without my choosing it? From where do I gain the object of definition that is my self. ?

Free thinking is intuitive thinking. Socrates believed we knew everything before we were born or at the moment of our birth. Pure abstract thought the mind is merely the monitor free thinking is immediate thought. There are two ruling powers in mind one the intellectual world, the other the visible world. This subdivision in respect of clearness the visible consists of images seen through the medium of sight or touch, or some other feelings.Where as intellectual sphere answers here to truth arithmetic and calculation which rises out mind only.

All those images that dwell in mind are embossed by the intervention of senses and they communicate impressions upon things but in the intellectual world which is seen with effort and when seen the universal author of all things beautiful and right, parent of light and of light in this visible world, and the power upon which philosophers will act rationally either in public or private life.

Theintinct of a tiger is not merely the sight of the giraffe that awakens the desire for it, nor is a desire or choice: every one of us has a restricted sphere, the sight of a mole in the case of a hawk, Each one seeks out its own intimate complex environment, each recognizes its elemental law. Even lilies, willows, fig trees have their own particular bug or insect whose nature is restricted to each plant. Instinct as in building a resting place is directed to reason. This process is three fold: the relationship with world, transformed into feeling.

What forms the outer configuration of organism is called the crystal of your vitality is feeling is an l system under one body.

Human kind learns from a natural inherent impulse just as we sleep to rest our body and wake to gather food and build. I am asleep suppose and in my sleep I open my eyes, jiggle my head, expand my hands and so on. Descartes, believed are false delusions of body. Things represented in sleep are like painted representations of eyes ,heads, and hands, not imaginary things, but things that really exist not imaginary, but a thing really existent framed by the mind, tested by the senses, and not the imagination.

In Meditation I, Descartes, writes of the things which may be brought within the “Sphere of the Doubtful ” states, that when in sleep we open our eyes, shake our head, extend our hands, and so on, are but false delusions; and neither our hands nor our whole body are such as they appear to be ideas tossed about halfway between truth and not-truth are opinions not knowledge.

Thales wrote of physical geography which treats the sea named after him is called Thalassography. The word Thalassocracy means mastery of the sea, water as the supreme sustainer of life. He was born the first year of the 35th Olympiad 640 B.C, one of the seven wise men of ancient Greek philosophy and author of the Ionic sect, measured the pyramids and the distance from shore of ships at sea.

All spheres of science and arit takes a considerable amount of time and discipline to achieve like Socrates charioteer driving a pair of winged horses into the sky, one of them is reason and the other is not. The powering of pair of winged horses into the sky gives a great deal of trouble to us one is fed upon ignorance and meanness and the other knowledge, beauty, and goodness we climb upward.The love of learning is a love of knowledge, a gentle good and noble search. What is required, courage, quickness, and well being.

Wisdom presides over just and good actions. A philosopher abstracts and defines rationally the idea of good, and runs the challenge of all objections, and is ready to refute anyone not by opinion, but truth and never stumbling at any step of the argument. Unless philosophers can do all this, we will neither know the idea of good nor any other good; only shadows we will apprehend if anything at all given by opinion, and not knowledge.

The spangled heavens should be used as a pattern excellently wrought by the hand of Daedalus, Socrates believed or some other great artist, which we may chance to behold; would appreciate the exquisiteness of knowledge of eternal not of aught perishing and transient.

Geometry does that draws mind toward truth, and creates the spirit of philosophy sternly laid down than should by all means learn geometry.


Although today no societies patrons geometry leads to no want of it no energy for the pursuit and they are it is difficult to learn especially without a teacher. A teacher can hardly be found and even if found , as matters now stand today, students are too conceited will not attend.

But if the whole society gave honor ; then students would want to come, and there would be continuous and earnest search, and discoveries.

But if society does not the philosopher cares not how disregarded by the world, how maimed of fair proportions, and no votary can not even tell the use of it, still geometry force their way into light.


The same is true of astronomy Socrates believed if a person were to throw his or her head back and study the fretted ceiling may be a simpleton: Knowledge is of being and whether a person gapes at the heavens or blinks on the ground, seeking to learn some particular of sense, Socrates denied that he can learn, for nothing of that sort is matter of science; his soul is looking downwards, not upwards, whether his way to knowledge is by water or by land, whether he floats, or only lies on his back.
