Re: Philosophy of Mind
To deceive the public about matters of law telling a lie is most serious; it makes it impossible knowing and not knowing, or distinguishing whose face is of a friend or an enemy.
Justice is the most complete mastery over the entire human race; pay attention looks at self within, that no disorder occurs, such as greed of the good things of life unaware of debt.
It is the mindful and virtuous leader who is clearly wise and a better pathfinder are they more able to impart harmony and friendship.
Leaders today lead a life of luxury and idleness is incapable of resisting greed. They care only for making money. Such were the state of affairs that prevailed.
They looked at Democracy as an open market; nobody cared about the disregard the principles of law, which are solemnly laid down as the basis of a Democratic society. How grandly they trample all the fine principles of government, never giving a thought to state of the good people.
The truth of the matter is that justice is the only virtue which remains in government when the other virtues, temperance, courage and wisdom have gone. It is the ultimate of virtues.
True courage and wisdom each resides in government one makes the society valiant and the other wise. but justice extends and runs through all the notes of the scale, and produces harmony in its original form, and does the utmost to maintain intact,

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Come fix your mind on what has preoccupied the society and has disquieted the culture today. Life is in such disunity becomes the task of lovers of philosophy to undo the disarray and reawaken a spirit of reason.
When a gulf has arisen between people life is no longer happy they need reason. This was so in the Ionic time, people then was so burdened in a mad quagmire in such a way, duties, rights, roamed wildly unfettered fancies.
Laboring anything into something has a positive significance but not only that the process is twofold, the risk of loosing self in laboring for purpose we enter into labor to succeed to attain and find satisfaction without skill and without security.
Labor brings a true certainty of oneself, second, we cannot get away from, but we succeed attaining reason.
In history, there are a gallery of noble philosophers and heroes whose purposes was not merely a presentation that would be a very tiresome study. Philosophy demands in the first place a willingness to give not superficial rhetoric but profound thinking.
Thales, was one of the seven wise men was the author of the Ionic sect born according to the best calculation in the first year of the 35th Olympiad 640 B.C is. He thought that the universe was all embracing whole developed germ like every animal and that water was the all-powerful sustainer of life. Thales was also the founder Western Philosophy. The Greeks scholars in Thales days had already considered the sun, mountains, earth, sea, rivers as independent powers to be revered as gods, but Thales thought God was the sustainer of water. There is even a science called Thalassography, a physical geography that treats the sea, the word Thalassocracy means mastery of the sea. We are universally immersed correspond to the sun, to the comet, the moon and to the planets. Our nervous system corresponds to sun; our circulatory system corresponds to the comet and moon and the digestive to earth.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Knowledge comes on the scene liberates the remarkable mind to contemplate.
Clearly, the corrupt and incurable person will put an end to himself or herself. I learned to know them from long observation of their nature.
A good person has a good mind not cunning and suspicious like who fancies them masters in wickedness when they are fools owing to unseasonable suspiciousness . They cannot recognize good because they have no pattern of good in their mind. They cannot know virtue from viciousness. —In my opinion.
A philosopher has the quality of gentleness and if educated rightly, will be gentle and moderate; the harmonious mind is both temperate and courageous. Philosophers mingle music and exercise in the fairest proportions, rightly called the true musician and harmonist in a far higher sense than the tuner of the strings. Philosophers ought to be wise and efficient, and to have a special care of society.
In their whole life, philosophers show the greatest eagerness to do what is for the good, at every age, in order that we may see whether we preserve, and never under the influence either of force or enchantment, forget or cast off our sense of duty to philosophy. Is not to possess the truth good? And you would agree that to conceive things as they are good is to possess the truth?
The slave and master is solely a unity of mind and knowledge and the unconditional sacrifice and labor of love. Slaves must have masters and in order to be a masters they must have slaves. Master and slave are equally in themselves truth.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
We acquired reason before birth, or at least at the instant of birth, we had reason. I am not only speaking of reason, but all virtue, all, which is stamped of essence.
How astonishing to think that we know before birth and by the use of our senses recovers what we previously knew. The knowledge is the process of recovering is rightly termed recollection. Knowledge is the instrument of reason, and reason is that bare path of intentions. Reason a mere un-constructive middle term, a process, or meaning. It only broadcasts, declares and proclaims our certainty and truth.
Few retain pure reason; drinking too much of the waters of forgetfulness yet whatever is done and whatever happens that brings us from the dark to daylight reason is there. Truth framed by the mind, tested by the senses we mortals have beginning and end, but not the mind it can be neither destroyed nor begotten.
Therefore, knowledge pure unfortunately cannot have is an impossibility in company of the senses but we can make the nearest approach when not saturated with senses.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
1972 I got involved with philosophy when I read Hegel's Natural Law, a small book that it took me two years to read. After that I read Plato, fell madly in love with Socrates known to be the wisest person in the world.
In 1980 I decided to swept outfrom my brain all the musty cobweb opinions and understand philosophy , I began writing a diary. My diaries were very helpful to vent my frustration of understanding. In 1983 I began to write philosophy for anyone else traveling the same path of those who love knowledge.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
When self consciousness advances more and forms a distinction of its own is essentially philosophy.
Free self-consciousness in the course of history is philosophy. Its principle is essentially that which thinks, is a thinking being, and its manner of a thinking as abstract freedom, not fully absolute determinate thought.
Doubt is the actuality freedom of thought is; it is in self essentially negative, and exhibits self that way. Doubt simply rejects being of the world is the negativity of self-consciousness. The actual carrying out is over against self and doubt; a whole compass of consciousness, is mere negative process. Doubters always sees nothing, nothing is its determinate, its a course of nothing out of nothing which comes the result. Nothing is the result thus nothing is an empty thought. Doubt ends with nothing, the same old void, remaining always unthinking indolent sentimental sufferers.
Fear doubt conceals behind as ego which understands how to belittle and turn away from purpose back to self. How to triumphant over doubt which manages to dissipate every possible reason. Egos flees from purpose seeks only to be isolated in own self.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Essentially ethics is just as much spiritual as it dominates act of community setting outside the family toward living in the world; not merely an act or must we think an ethical action is a process of knowledge. An ethical act must be great in character and universal, one that lifts self out of a life of chance and change, into universal peace. It is only as citizens that we are real and substantial; it takes effect no doubt and labor in attaining a stage of independent self-being.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Self is for self; is called "thing hood". One moment of self as ideal and the other is the immediate labor of being. Labor is the chain from which we cannot escape.
Knowledge is inherent in all, and opposed to purpose we sink to the level of mere empty meaning.
Come broadcast, declare reason, proclaim certainty and assurance of being keeps working and actualizing purpose whole. In other words, purpose brings being to light, establishes something good and eternal.
The talented is a content of purpose but does not go beyond that only seeking to bring purpose into actuality
Then from the senses is knowledge previously know stamp with the name of essence, beauty, goodness, justice, holiness.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
What is best in philosophy can be won only by labor of love, which is the chief aim in carrying on here. The actual carrying out over against doubt is a mere negative process. Doubt sees nothing only a determinate course. The result, the out come is always nothing. Doubt is always the same old void, mind remain always unthinking indolent and the sentimental when suffering at the hands of purpose.
Doubt it conceals the fear behind every pretext is doubt and the conceited ego that understands how to belittle and turn away from labor back to self. How triumphant is the ego how manages to dissipate every possible purpose because of fear.
To grasp the whole truth you will have no problem in knowing what is great and what is small arises when there is a contradiction in which doubt is aroused within perplexed wanting to arrive at truth.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Now knowledge rests upon principles and carries out good, without knowing everything would be confounded. Knowledge is the instrument that possesses enlightenment.
For knowledge is not divergence of light, but light itself. Doubt is bare path empty alone spot. The very fact knowledge comes on the scene liberates this pathway of doubt pressing forward knowledge and self-consciousness follow conviction and produce what is truth.
Philosophers are the same as plants, created out of opposition. Every philosopher belongs to it's own time and reigns for a certain time.
Emmanuel Kant supposed that all knowledge is reduced to opinion, and every consciousness has intelligence. He compared knowledge to earth; if you wanted to describe it and it’s meaning must first look and drive out its existence and lay its parts out one by one.
Spinoza, asserted knowledge is oneness of thought. Indisputably, Spinoza wrote the greatest work on Ethics, Whereas Descartes believed knowledge as a science through a higher sense. Leibniz devoted his attention to knowledge as a self-sufficient individuality.
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.
Paramenides believed thought is the same with being since the utmost limit of being is perfect on every side. The form of perfection is a well-rounded sphere, which extends in all directions equally from its center. That is perfection, for it can be neither bigger nor less significant in one part or another.
Pure knowing is without any specifications and filling; absolute nothing mediated by anything. The starting point “I equals I” the base of development remains at the base of all that follows and does not vanish. Know thy self is the beginning but straightaway is an empty being in the development of knowledge. The immediate consciousness the ego, that simple certainty directly linked to everyone.

The mind rightly educated is the philosopher, who is noble and good, and reason they will recognize and salute.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Philosophy remains it disciples are a small lot: righteous and well educated, absent of corrupting influences devoted to philosophy.
Philosophers hold their peace, and go their own way. Wrote Plato “Like in the storm of snow and sleet storm with driving wind, we philosophers retire under the shelter of a wall; and seeing the rest of people kind full of impiety, we are content, if only we can live our life and be pure from unrighteousness, and depart in peace and good-will with happy hopes.”

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Your skepticism is sure to pass into conviction by knowledge and between knowledge and good lies the instrument possesses enlightenment. Knowledge the very fact that it comes on the scene, and liberates a pathway of consciousness presses forward to truth and spiritual self-consciousness conviction produce what truth is.
To know truth is not so far indeed from heaven’s pleasures. Knowledge rests upon principles that carry out good and without it we would be perplexed of what is essential and what is not, or if we are happy or not. Sense-certainty perception, conception vanishes in the course of experience then seeing and hearing is inaccurate witnesses.
The phenomena of knowledge is wisdom, insight, understanding, and observation, it embraces nothing less than the entire virtue of consciousness.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Philosophers know to distinguish the absolute from reality, never putting the reality in place of the ideal or ideal in the place of reality.
The many ideas are entertained in the mind tossed about in a region halfway between truth and not truth.
What is truth but objective reality, in other words the certainty of self? Truth is merely the bare reason of being? In the mind he power and capacity of knowledge exists the same as the eye is unable to turn from darkness to light so too the instrument of knowledge can only be moved by degrees to endure the sight of being the brightest and best,
The only standing point is not not present time the eternal it will not come to be, nor was it, but it is. Present is an out and out abstract ideality. It has tremendous right because as soon as I pronounce the present dissolves, flows away, and passes over into another moment, only a moment in the course of time.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
The philosopher’s mind is fine as a point but the rich are honored in government, but when the sum of money is the tendency of virtue and the virtuous are dishonored then what is honored is cultivated, and that which has honor is neglected.
The passion of the lover of honor is wholly set in, belief, conquering, and getting fame. Knowledge, wisdom, insight fitly applies to learning. They all have reason, soldiering, judging, or profiting and everyone benefits. All aspects benefit government, playing a part towards some supreme universal reason.
