THE END

As you may know and as we hope for, this is the last post, but the most interesting one. We are going to talk about what everyone thinks and we will reach a group conclusion that will lead us to a very important agreement.

Lily:

What is philosophy for?

For nothing at all, it doesn't work for anything. Why do you want to know that you are going to die. Philosophers are people that doesn't have anything to do. Philosophy is very personal.

Saldaña:

what philosophy does is make you think. Many politicians doesn't know how to think properly for the people and that is why we are were we are. Maybe, philosophy should be thought since primary school. We really don't know what we do, we only do it because it makes us feel well.

Murillo:

Philosophy is just another course that we need to take in our school program, it doesn't make you any smarter that you were before, but it makes you think about what other people think of things. 

Maye:

I think philosophy is very personal. It depends on what each person thinks about something that makes them think about it. You may have your point of view, but other person can have a different one. Philosophy teaches you how to tolerate and acknowledge that.

Puente: 

Philosophy is a subject that you have to make but, once you analyze it deeply, you realize that is necesary to make you think.

Conclusion

What is the purpose of human life?

Make mistakes and learn from them, interact with the society that surround us, act like human beings.

Learn to know ourselves and be better people.

We have to enjoy it because we don't know if we have another life.

• We think that we all have a purpose for being here.
• Philosophy help us to think about the remaining topics in a deep way, an know that we are conscious of many more things.

Philosophy is a very personal topic, but it also help listen to other points of view because you may see things from other perspective.

Thanks to this class, Jacobo and the other classmates that made us have a good time in philosophy class

Time

Time is a very abstract term because you can have a meaning for it, but other person can have one very different from the one you have.

There is also something called time traveling, it is the idea of having the capacity to travel to the past or the future, but this has its pros and its cons. 

The positive side of it, is that we can clear any doubts that we have of our past, or of our future. It also can help people with diseases that have not a cure yet. But this is a little complicated if we analyze its cons. What would happen if a time machine ends in the wrong hands, the past would be altered making changes in the present. 

But that isn't the only problem. Imagine that you want to kill a very bad person in the past, lets say Hitler. you will have to travel to the nazi times to kill him right? Now, if you kill him, that would mean that in the present that you came from, he would not exist because you kill him before, making you not to have the impulse to travel to the past and kill him. That is called a paradox, and I'm not capable of predict if it is impossible to make one or what would happen if one takes place.

We need to be very careful in dealing with time!!!!

Time

Time is the pass of certain moments that affect us, so we can have something from the past the present and the future; people through the pass of the years has developed several methods to measure the time.

something that i found really interesting during was that we don't have a past or future it is a present past a present future, i find this like something true because all that happento us in the past is affecting us, also what we are doing right now is affecting our future.

The present it is really difficult to define the present because we can't touch or stop the now, the present is the smallest measure of time.

what i thik it is really important no matter what is that you have to live with all this tree measures (past, present and future) because they will help you for example to not make the same mistakes again or enjoy the present what are you linving and think about a future.

Time

What its time? Well i cant define it without give it examples with the same word.. Its the magnitude that human create to count the time? Well its very difficult to me explain time, but eventhough that we cant define it, we can see it, in the changes that happen in our environments and in ourselves, for example if something its over, and the changes that happen in our body like change of voice, change of size, wrinkles etc. the notion of time its inevitably linked with the movement of the world in general, the time its a essential item of the society because this is a very important tool of people to make contact with other people, without time i dont know what we would make... or how we would communicate with society. time its divided in past, present and future, the present i think that we never reach it, all moment ends and it turn to past, so where is the present?

i think that present dont exist in concrete because it only have a duration of the mimimum duration of the time, and the future we always think about it but it turn to present and then to past, i think that the only certain moment of life its the past, because we have the memories and the know that we live in that moment and what we did, the past its known but we can not change it, and the future its the unknowns moments that we can change, but we dont know about it, well i think that time its a very difficult topic to discuss because we can explaine what is it.

what Time is it?

Time is a relative thing, that serves to us as a measurement of how long does the things we do take to be done.but there has always exist something thatperturbs our lifes. and that is the future time, meaning what is it gonna be of us in ten more years, will be dead?, so this idea has transform our minds into looking forward to create some cheats and instead of predicting knowing what will be our future, by this i mean that human get the wack idea of creating a time machine, that make us travel to the future or past in order to change present and future. meaning that human in some way wants to destroy himself and everything he knows, but fortunetely we havent reached that kind of technology.

So whats left, we gotta stop wasting our time in silly and start enjoying our own life, leaving meaningless the word time and future

Beauty

All of us have one characteristic that make us equal but make us so differents at the same time, all of us have been ever felt pleasure and pain but not in the same way, because we have differents likes and not all we find it ugly, we have differents thoughts and minds. but Immanuel Kant says just that all that conserved and have form its beauty, Well im disagree with him i think that all people have their own preferences in every way and for every thing, And for example someone that have difficult to walk or to see because of an especial discapacity of some part of the body it doesnt mean that , the person loose their beauty and their dignity, or someone can think that , the person its very ugly but other else can say that , the person have nice eyes or something like that. or that person can have the beauty in other part of their body. I think that everything in the world its beauty in its own way, and theres beauty for all types of people, and the beauty its not only in the concretes objects , i consider that beauty its in everything of life and in the world, it could be just a moment, a song everything, and we all need to learn to appreciate it and indentify it.

Freedom

We all act in the world and we respond to the environment that we are living, and we can create, create is act in the world and from the things that already are in the world. i think that liberty is the possibility of decide about your options about an action, and we know about the consecuences, there is a very huge difference in what happened to me* for example when i was running and i fall or if i drop a glass i dont decide to do that action but it happened. what i did without consious somethings that i did just for inerce i dont know what exactly im doing. and the last one what i do because i want it. in this type of action i know what im doing and i know about my consecuences. liberty is act in base our wishes necessites and proyects. liberty is just do what i want and its not enough try to do what i want. But i think that we as humans that we are are delimitaded by a society that always is judge what we do or did, i think that we are not completely free, because we are desing to act for and with the other people, and i think that our fredom or liberty its over when the liberty of someone else begins. we are ruled by a society that make us that we keep our really wants for us , and dont tell anyone just to for fear of the opinion of the other people.

What is time?

What is time?

Maybe for some people, time is only the hour, minutes and seconds, and although this is one time when not only is it what we can call time. Time is also the time where we are, that is present but also past and future. The time used to count the days, months, years etc. One of the factors which, people do not like both the theme of time is that time is very real and silently and slowly go "eating" our youth, to the point where we grow older, which is what many would not want that to happen to us, ie cease to be young, but what if we would like is to live many years. But in the end, time is a factor that, we can not evade and we all have to face without fear, because some people fear him because it relates to the death but while we have to face since the first day of our lives, until the last day that we exist.

Time

The time, what is the time just another measurement like the litters, kilograms, meters that makes our life easier.

I think that is more complex than that, time can be see it like a fourth dimmension, time has always existed, is only that the humans want to make it's life easier and put measurements of time.

The time is also not the same for everybody the time is relative it's depend on the observer, I mean with this that when you are having fun or doing something that you like the time passes faster than if you are doing something boring.

Other interesting thing of time is that the humans wants to controle it for their convenicence to travel in time and changes things that happened or go o the future. but the more interesting thing of time travel is going to the past and try to change some moments that we consider embarasing or redoing the things that we want.

As you can see the time is a very fascinating and intersting thing, what you think about it???

Beauty

Beauty is a very subjective thing. It highly depends on who is looking that the object. Someone may thing it is gorgeous and other one can say that is a piece of crap. But at the end, it only depends on what you think of it.

The world has know change its way of selling a product. Nowadays you can see a almost naked woman or guy selling a perfume, clothes, food, diet product, TV, everything you can imagine. When, I don't know, 40 50 years ago, the merchandise was focused on the merchandise and its benefits. 

I think that we should focus on inner beauty than the physical one, because at the end, when you choose a person, not a product, to be with, you will be living with that person and not its physical beauty.

Now, I choose this picture because, although I think she is cute, she is not doing anything to show it.

Beauty

Beauty is the image that we create ourselves over a person, a landscape or an animal. The beauty is not always equal for all, not all have the same perception of things, such as "The Beach" for some people is the most beautiful landscape, that you can see the sea, sun and sand, but for others it is a simple landscape with nothing to admire.

It's the same with animals, like a stray dog, for some can be beautiful on that causes them pity or tenderness, and others just a dog ugly and dirty and does not cause any feeling. And as for the people there are many opinions about the "beauty" in this world that we are always looking at ways to look better than others, and this affects the commercials, advertisements, and artists. According to Plato artists should not exist, for it causes that we want to be like them and it is true that there are many people who believe everything they see on television, and operating or doing anything to look like their favorite artist or business model etc. And do not realize that ads for beauty products, are more than arranged by the famous "Photoshop".

In conclusion, the beauty is simply the opinion that all persons on some object or person.

You are so beautiful (8)

what we call beuty? a girl, a couple of girls, three girls together, a photo, or what is beauty?
I think beuty is simple a chemical reaction that happens on your brain that makes your body relax and takes you a sec out of your concerns, but i cant generalize this.

Every human has a different type of thinking and perceiving things, such as beauty, may be not everyone that sees this image might consider it sexy and beautiful, if not, disgusting and repugnant, so this lead us to the same question what is beauty?

Beauty can be easily describe as something that doesnt follow the same pattern, something that makes you turn your eyes on it and admire for an instance, beauty might not be only one thing as a human, it can be something created by a human, such a paint, sculpture, etc.

So i get to the conclusion that doesnt makes true to you every word that im writting becuase you dont have the same perspective to you, but, ill lead this question to you,

IF YOU DONT FIND THIS IMAGE BEAUTIFUL, THEN YOU MIGHT NOT BE GETTIN' A GOOD PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT BEATIFUL IS....(jonathan Saldana)

P.D. doesnt matter gender (LOL)

Beuty

We call beuty to everything that makes us feel well and impact us for example a picture, a person or maybe only a thing.

But not all the people have the same sense of what is beuty and what is not. an example of this can be an abstract picture, for someones this picture can be amazing and very beatiful and for others this can be the worst picture that they ever see.

With this I mean that the significant of beuty is not universal.

Kant mention that beuty is an interest without interest because is seeing all that makes us feel well but without a meaning we don' know why that thing makes us feel that way

Beauty!!!!!

We call beauty what can give us pleasure or make us feel good for example the food or a sculpture.

Kant says that something beatiful must be beatiful for everyone this doesn't mean that everyone must have the same parameters for beauty but is beauty something that can we consider has the merit and the right to be consider beatiful for all the world.

something really intersting is the position of Plato about the artist, he said that in the perfect world in the citizens the artist should not exist because they have the ability to convince people and seduction because he said that the one that has the mechanisms of pleasure has also the control over the education of the people but; Why does the artist has this control? plato used to say that it was because the art can accept the appearances without questioning, because the artist like so much this appearances that the public like them too.

The reason of the beauty isto help to enrich our knowledge not just make us feel happy.
The paradox of the beauty os that in one moment can be experimented with pleasure and on the other hand with shudder. something that catch our attention.

Freedom

Freedom is the ability to do the things that we choose to do. But are we completely free? I think that we are not, because there are physical, emotional, psychological, etc., limitations that keeps us from doing anything we can think of. Like, for example, the capacity of flying. We can choose to fly by our selves, but our body is not capable of doing it.

Freedom may be one of the things that can define us as humans. Other animals may know their limitations and they don't try to do things they are not capable of. Also, they can't have emotional barriers as complicated as humans have.

This is a subject that can be discussed for many hours, but the thing that we cannot deny, is that humans are free, in one way or another, even if we are not completely free

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom is the right you have to express yourself and also the decision to choose and do things that you like, you are free to decide whether you want smoking or smoking but the decision will always depend on you and nobody else. Although sometimes there are people trying to convince you otherwise, for example if you do not want to try the cigarette but someone tells you that you try makes you feel good or anything else you can say anything else to try But you have the ability to decide whether you do or do not. Freedom also lets you express, but we do not always affect others; because sometimes what we say it might affect someone, it can cause problems such person or even ourselves. In conclusion we can say that freedom is a right that we all, to express ourselves without anyone tell us otherwise.

life Free

Freedom is a very complex word, that involves everything related to our life, since the very basic elections like open your mouth, 'till the choose or pick the person you want to share the rest of your life with.

Nobody can private your freedom, but it doesnt mean you are really free for doing whatever you want, because there are consequences for your acts, so you are not free enough to do everything and nothing happen to you.

So you are partially free of doing almost everything you want without having to ask for permission to someone, but you are not free enough to proove that nothing will happen if you do anything without no one telling you something.

Freedom

what we call freedom is the ability to chose some action, for example if you want to stand up you want to stand up and that election is yours, your free to say i want to stand up or i don't want to stand up if you are not capable to do it maybe because you don't have legs that is another think but the liberty of chose what you want is what we call freedom.

One of the doctrines that i found interesting was the determinsm because they say that everything is the cause of another thing, and it comes the moment when we are not sure of being free, because everything was already written and it happen because it had to or if you was the one that chose to do something.

another important point is that freedom it comes with resposabilty because we have to accept the consequences of our acts.

Freedom

What is freedom ???

This can be described for many people as the posibility to do the things that you want

But that no the real meaning are you really free to do whatever you want.

The answer is no. you can't do whaterver you want you have limits.

Fisrt of all is you have a discapacity you are not free to do whateve you want. Second the humans laws also limit your freedom. Third the consecuences of doing that.

So as you can see your freedom is limited by alot of things so freedom continue being that meaning I don't think so.

Universe

Universe, a word that no one knows its meaning, a word that cause to us a terrible fear and make us look smaller than we already are. But if you think it for a while you will find that if we dont know whats around us how can we define ourself in something so huge and dark for us.

Nobody ask or request to bring us to this planet, i think no one also request to our parents to create us, but i think that if we are here might be for a good reason, but its a shame that our life as humans dont last longer.

I look to the bright side and see that may be in the future someone will find another planet, were we can survive, cuase this one doesnt look will last forever, and hopefully we find someone else, meaning we can both exchange theories and point of view, but our ambition or their negative might cause a war, leading to our destruction and completely forgot, or another chance to ruin a new planet.

The Universe

As Humans that we are we need to know that we belong to a world, that we came from that world and that we conform that world. But what its a world? I think that this have many concepts and means, the first could be my world for example my mind, my life, and all my customs, and all the things i think or in what i believe...then the next step will be the people that are like me.. in my community and then will be my nation. But the more general definition of world will that its a planet of the universe, and its called earth. But if we think far away just about what is a world? then we will ask us what is universe? what is made of? did have and ending? what is after the end? are we the unique world with life? well, in my experience i saw a few of documentaries that talk about the universe, and galaxies and something like that. And we are just a very little part of the universe, because this is immense and we just know a tiny part of it. And i think that we are not the only world with life, because we don't even know the other part of the universe, to know it we need to travel around thousand or millions light years. The universe its so immense and infinite that i don't think that could be possible that we are the only race with life.

The Universe

The Universe

According to the philosophy, and other theories the universe is where we live, or rather the place where we are located in the universe is also located on Planet Earth place where if we exist, and that is next to the other planets they occupy a place in space.
No one is completely sure of the origin of the universe who did not know how or why it originated no reason. From what we can be sure of some things is found in the universe, like planets, galaxies, and we also know that there is life on our planet, but so far nobody has found that there is life on another planet, although it most likely is that if, for that would be very strange to think that the universe is so big, I could just be a planet with life.
Perhaps in the future someone can check that if there is life on another planet, and we are not alone in the universe, and probably if they find life on another planet, maybe these people could be very similar to us may be the opposite us humans.

The Universe

The Universe.

The book says that the universe is a complex totality, where each thing has its place. Sometimes we forget that we live in an universe and we pretend that the earth is everything that exists. We forget that maybe there is also live on a corner far far away, and that they may be much advanced than us. We also tend to forget that there is also something outside our head, and we pretend to live only there.

We have to think about other species, plants and animals, we have to see that there is the possibility that we are not alone in the universe. We have to live thinking that everything that we can do, can affect other beings. If we don't do that, we can finish with the place that we have to live in. 

It is said that the universe does not have an end. I believe it does, it ends where our ignorance begins. This is because the things we don't know for certain, can only be assumed and we are not completely sure that they are true. 

So, we have to learn to live outside our heads and our world.

The Universe :)

The universe

This topic was very interesting because it talks about the questions the humans had been making through the pass of the years.
First we want to know about the limit of the universe; and the answer is maybe that the universe has no limit because this is easier to explain, we don’t have the capacity as humans to understand when the universe finishes.

The universe is where all the things exist; but we have to put our “world” into levels in the first level goes the things or people that is around us very close to us, and it goes like that until the last one that is the universe.

But for us is more important the things that are in the smaller level like our family and friends than for example the explosion of an star because that one doesn’t have any consequence in our world.

The universe

The universe is the place where we all live this infinite space that have planets, stars and galaxys.

But are we shure that universe is infinite we think that yes the matter is expanding into an infite space.

Whe can imagine the idea of an infinite universe, but we can't magine an idea of a finite universe this can be a paradox, because this finite space have to have a limit and this limit is part of he universe and so the universe contiue being infinite.

Others important question are, how do all begin?, how universe was created?, the space we he matter are exist already before mater exist? thisare going to be th most important question that can never be answered by the humans beings

The Symbolic Animal

Humans can be called animals. But we are a type of animal very different from others, we have reason and conscience. This two characteristics are the most important, because they separate us from the other types of animals.

I believe that this reason is true because if we look at other species, we can notice that there is no other animal that have advance the way we have. The bonobo just have the body and actions similar to the ones of the human beings, but they are not capable of advance like we have.

The animal part that we have in ourselves can be expressed in our reactions and way of living. Example: the herds of animals count with a leader that is the one that makes the decisions of about the other animals. Some governments have that way of functioning on them.

So, we are part animals but we have specific characteristics that makes us different from others.

Symbolic Animal

The Symbolic Animal

The symbolic animal represents a relationship and a comparison between human and animal, because they both have much in common, such that the two have gone through a process of evolution or transformation.
The human and the animal can also be compared in how they use their language to communicate with others are the round, but each uses it for their own interests, and each says it differently, such as animal only use it for what is necessary or for the basics, without seeking further, the human hand is a little more ambitious and uses it to get what he wants, and to investigate further.
In conclusion, I believe that human beings use it for what it wants and not what you owe, even that is also used to meet their needs, and instead the animal only uses it for what you need without asking for more than necessary.

Simbolic Animal

Firstable I think that we have to have clear this terms....
What Is an Animal? Well Animal is... something that live, feels, and have the characteristics of a live thing (irritability, metabolism etc)
I think that we dont know what exactly human is... is between god and animals. Our Principal Characteristic Is That We Think...We have rationality. I think That the most characteristic of the human is that we dont know about the real capacity that we have, dont know limits, "the only atonishment of the human is the human" i agree completely with this. and the human sometimes could be very irrational and make bad things the only thing that can destroy the human is the human i think . We can be considered like animals we evolutionate but i think that we are animals that think and talk. have a language. we are the only animal that eat without hungry, talks without something to say. i think that to be consider real humans we need to learn to use our capacities and for the god of the humanity.

Me Inside Me Out Side

What Happen If All That We Know About Life Or About everything, were just an illusion, just a dream?
All that we know will be false, absolutely all! If we were just dreaming and all that we see, we touch, we feel, we perceive were just caused because of the dream. So If we Thought like this....What It's The Reality? Where I am? Sleeping? But I Think That We Can dream or we can create an illusion just about things that we know. If We always be Dreaming it will be the same that if we never dream. And i think that if we always were dreaming we didn't know what dream is... and the dream will be our reality
And Another Theory That Descartes says....What if all were controlled by other else? And this person or "thing" always were controlled our reality, our thoughts and our lives.
And we are just living and seeing what this "genius" want us to see. But This next Point i think that it's very very interesting and very logic, If like Descartes says,, we are controlled by a genius or we always were dreaming whatever.. We have the Certainty that we exist, We have to exist and then we can dream, live and be controlled. this is very true. And then to be deceived we need to be.
this theme its very interesting because it invite us to analyze and think what reality is.
maybe its just a dream or a lie. We never know....

Symbolic Animal

The animals and the humans beings are different because of very important thing: Humans can think and use the reason to communicate and expressed what they want to say; also the humans are capable to see beyond everything this is very interesting because there is no other animal or being that can make that like us.

One of the most interesting things for me of the topic of the symbolic animal is that we are capable of create a language not just for our basic need but also to communicate everything even things that doesn’t exist or will never happen, just because we have the necessity of communicate even when we are not capable of this; like the girl of the video we watch during the class.

Something else that we are different from the animals is that we have the opportunity of give names to the objects and recognize them just with the given name.

Symbolic animal

Since thehuman reason exist the humans have tried to separate him from the beasts and get closer to the gods.

The humans overreact when somebody says that we are animals the perfect example is when Darwin says that we belong from the monkeys all the scietific community make fun of him and make cartoons like in the image.

The real think is that yes, we are animals but the think that make us different from they is our brain, our reason, our thinking. the animals only use the reason to satisfy their basic neccesitys, the humans too but we also create new neccesitys and we try to stisfy this new things too.

This s the real thing that make us different from the other animals or capacity to think and reason.

Me inside Me outside

Me inside and Me outside, are like two different ways of looking at life, that the outside is something completely different to what we are inside, that we pretend that we fully agree with everything that happens, but inside we are thinking anything but maybe we dare not say.
Then there are those who believe that only they can exist and that everything else is not real, a philosophy that is totally wrong that the very "I" can not be all that exists, it would be totally illogical to think that only There you can necessarily have to be more people, which may be equal to you, but with a very different way of thinking to yours,necessarily have to have a different philosophy to be identified to have a personality that is well defined and also serves to have an opinion of things that exist. In conclusion, we can all have different ways of looking at life, and necessarily have to have an opinion and a different philosophy to that of others.

keepin' it Real

Reality means that you live what you are right now, just right this moment, but what you think that is real might not be reality, is like if you were in a dream, a dream produced by your mind, meaning that you are not capable to see and understand that you are living in something that feels so close to reality.

This reality of "yours"might not be control by your mind at all, may be someone else is playing on you very tricky games, in a way that are so damn confuse to you and your mind that you dont realize and doesnt matter to you cause you think that what you are experience right is because you want it that way.

So before doing something think it twice cuz u might be dreaming and will experience unreal things.

My reality ???

What is reality?? this is simple to answer reality is what you are living right now this moment and all the expiriences that involved that is reality.

But what happen if i tell you that the thing that you call reality is not the real reality, is just an invention of your mind is your own world is only a dream, all the expiriences and all the people of this relity is an invention of yours, you crete it, you are like a kind of God, that way of thinking is vey confusing why if you make this world like a god why you are like the others and not like a god, you do it inconcient.

Another way of thinking can be that a person do this world and you and all the people are a part of it like in "matrix" you are living a kind of dream and your body is in one place and your mind is in other.

well you can think that this two thinking are absurd but think about it is sound irreal but can be real.

Myself

Myself
What got my attention about this topic is that for example everything could be just a dream or also be manipulated by someone else like in matrix, and everything we do isn’t real, honestly I can’t believe this because I say that we make our destiny and also because this is our reality even if it’s true or not this is what we think is real and all the things we perceive are part of that and that make us sure that we are alive and that we exist, we used all the feelings and situations are the ones that say that we exist.

Reason

i think that we always want to know more about life, always want to answers the questions, and learn more about life.
But we will never have questions about something that we don't know or we don't know that exist. Because we don't know that.. "that thing" exist. We never can question about something that we don't have a minimum idea that "that thing" exist! We just can have Curious about something that we know or at least have a minimum idea of what its all about, Because we have seen it at least one time, or maybe other people talks about it, or say it to us.
Other things i know about it because i have studied at least one time in our lives, for example in geography, in Spanish. But how i know that everything that i know it's truth? i think that everything can make us have at least a little doubt.
i Think that everyone have their own truth or their own knowledge that its based in experiences, and something like that.
And i think that the truth and the reality can change depending of everyone, because we are not sure at all about the things, or about what happen around us, in our environment.

Me in, me Out

 Descartes said that is possible to be always living a dream. That may sound possible, but I like to believe, that what we live is real and not a dream. That everything I do, I do it because I want to, and no because its pre-destinated.

If we were living always on a dream, the things that we do like decisions, thoughts, likes, etc. wouldn't be real and maybe would have been chosen by a evil super man as suggested on Fernando Savater's book "The questions of life".

But this can't change the way we live our life, because, reality or not, we still do the things we do for the benefit of everyone, and if we start to think in that way, we may be stop thinking about how the world is contaminated, what animals are in extinction, or if there is a conscience at all.

Reason

The reason

Our beliefs are the ones that make us act or think about something in one way or another and the reason helps a lot to find out the truth because we have to use it in order to have the answers that are closest to the TRUTH.

The skeptics are the one that don’t believe in the reason I think they are in a completely mistake because apart from the contradiction of their premises they say the reason it’s not viable, this is wrong because we need it; even if you don’t want to, you use every day.

The reason it’s something we must improve by asking ourselves our doubts and trying to find the Truth

The reason

The reason what can be the reason? well the reason can be what you belive about something.

But also there are other different reason from yours everybody have a different reason a diffrent truth a different point of view of the reality.But the reason can also be universal (a point of view that everybody shares), the same reality.

Reason is so important because is the way that you think you express to the others you try to say and share your own reason your personal point of view of the things.

The reason is also so extrange and difficult to undertand because everybody is gongi to try to make their point of view the rigthful, and that is gong to make a total mess in the mind .

So reason can be your truth, no the others truth, your truth what you belive and what you think about the things that happend around you that is going to be reason

Why the reason?

Why the reason?
Why talk of reason if we have it all, maybe this is what some people say or think about the issue of reason. And it is true that all use of reason, that's why we say that we reason, for example when we want to explain something to someone and explain it to ourselves, must always be a reason. The reason is probably a synonym for what is the truth, the two are related because they can be real things, and say they can, because there are truths that are false and that no one really can have an absolute truth that There is always someone who does not believe in a certain way that really engages with people who are skeptical as these say absolutely nothing is true, but on the other hand there are the people who believe that if something has already been proven totally truth and are content only with the truth that they heard, and are left without more research. It is important that we not only were unhappy with what they tell us it is also important that we ourselves plundered our own conclusions. In conclusion I think we can all have our own opinion or our own truth on any topic, and always have our own truth is that reason.

The Reason

When we talk about if something is true, we have to analize it very carefully, because it may be true for you, but not to other people. For example, when you say you believe in God, a muslim may come and tell you that what you are saying is a lie. He can say that Alah is the one that exists and only Alah.

That is why we have to use the reason to analize the truth and to think about when we can talk about something you believe, because someone may get offended or insulted. We have to be smart on what we talk and that is why we use reason.

Using the reason is like having a power, and like the comics says, with a great power, comes great responsability. We can't use the reason in order to impose ourselves to another way of thinking.

My Death?

Firstable.. Do you ever though what is death?
what is the death of an animal? or of plant?
almost all of the people don't care about the death of an animal or of plant or of something that is not important in their interests or goals.
But What happens when someone that we love die?
we cry..we have something similar of and empty space into our thoughts or our mind... we feel a really big pain.. we don't know how to realize that
our friend...our grandma or someone very close to us it's not anymore with us... in our life..in our world..he is not with us.. we only want to have him close to us. Now that we know what does it feels when someone or something dies, what happen if i start to think that i'm going to die..someday.. its not a question or a supposition, its a fact someday i'm going to die, im not going to feel that someone dies..
i'm going to die.. me.. just me.. no one can take my place.. no one can rescue me of a sure death....
i don't know how, i don't know when, i don't know where... im only know that im going to die.. in my personal point of view im afraid, maybe because i don't know that if im going to feel pain, or if im going to die slepping, or if someone kills me, im afraid of that. But the thing that im afraid the most is all the the things that im gonna miss, all the things that im not going to see.
Ok....you die.. and.....? What's Next? well that's another mistery for me, for all people but in this moment it's just for me, because anyone have their own death, maybe they feel a different kind of fear or are afraid in a different way than me.. That's why i don't care the fear of an other person, because you cant feel the death of another people. everybody have that right... the right of death. allmost all people included me have a relief that it's religion, we have faith that help us to comfort our fears about death, that when i die im going to be with god, with all my family and people that died before me, but what we know about death, all what we know are based in hypothesis, we dont know anything about death. We will never know because you die and all the things that you were are gone, you were only one time, but you will never be you again.. you die.. you're finished! but meanwhile we have to enjoy the life, and wait patiently death.

Death

Death

Realize that we are about to die is something only the human beings have; that make us mortals, but what everyone is really afraid of is that we are unique and in the exact moment we die something that existed once and that never will exist again has gone; so that is the moments when we start thinking about another life, something that goes beyond this life and can make us still be us and “exist”.

Death is imminent and is always one step behind us that means that no matter what you do or how healthy you are, you could die at any moment.

Very deep inside us we just care about our destiny, we care about other people deaths but at the end, we just want to know about what is next for our person.
In my opinion this is something that is true but I also think that we shouldn’t live with fear just because we don’t know what is next or if it is really something next, maybe this is it and nothing more, that is why I think we should live this life with all our energy and do everything we want without hurting or affect the people’s respect and liberty.

Death a horrible word???

Death for some people this is the worst word that they can hear. But this word is so horrible???

I don't think so death is just only a process that all of have to suffer someday why to feel afraid about it.

Some try to not think about the topic but to live in the negation is not going to save you the death is an inminent thing that all of us have to suffer and the best way to affront it is to think about and be prepare.

Nobody knows when they will day that the reason to be prepare and think about it why to feel sacare. Dying not means that you are not going to exist anymore maybe you don't exist as a person but your thinkings and all the things that you do and also the ones that you left behind stays here for ever that's the reason many people try to do the best because they want to prevail in time.

So why to feel afraid and be worry about a word. Is better traying to do your best so you can be remembered for the rest of the time and with this you can beat the death.

What is the death?

What is the death?

Most people think that the death is horrible and I think the same, because I don’t like the topic of the death, but is necessary be prepared and face the death.
Even that many of us do not like the subject of death, we must speak of this subject because we know that some day we will die.
Death for some is sadness, I think for most people, that hurts us when a loved one is gone and we know that will not return, but for others death may not be as painful because there are sick people who are suffering greatly, and the family thinks that death would be preferable sometimes to the same patient prefers death to continue suffering.
For people who are alive, maybe it's very difficult to think how we are going to die? or what will happen after we die? All these questions can arise, but try not to think about them. Perhaps some day we are alive as we think about wanting to be our death, or perhaps others do not want to think, and is a very respectable, but be prepared for that death is part of our life, including other living things like plants and animals.

Death and all his friends

Dead is the word given when you stop breathing on Earth, but does it really mean that you stop existing on time and universe, and there is nothing left of you. that generations will go by and nobody will even remember you. Well, i can only say that maybe your body will perish and vanish on face of Earth but your thoughts and meanings to the things will remain intact.

So this lead us to the really question that is what should i do with whats left of my life? am i gonna spend it on careless actions and in pleasures for my self, or i will start thinking of why should i do what am doing right now, if i know that im gonna die. The point here is that we gotta stop wasting our time in silly things, and start living a life full of color with responsible actions.

Death

For many people, dying is the worst thing ever, and keep their lives dedicated in order to avoid it. That people doesn't enjoy life at its highest levels. They think that every moment can be their final, and they aren't wrong, but it we live with that believe, we live in fear, ansciety and pain about the ignorance of death.

On the other hand, people that live without the worriyng og dying, tend to live happier than those who don't. Nut the interesting thing is the way a person choose to live with fear or to live without it. One of the reasons may be personal suffering, like losing people or having a terminal desease. That can give you an idea of what could happen, eventhough you aren't alive anymore. 

But no matter what you choose to live, live it without any doubt that you are doing it for a better life, not for a better death. Because there are ways to enjoy life, but doing it in a healthy way.

Why studying philosophy?

Why studying philosophy?

For so many people this subject it’s just a waste of time, and it doesn’t work for anything and they are just taking this to get through the curse; in my personal opinion I think that is necessary to understand philosophy because in the world we are living are so many questions that we can’t answer just with science; philosophy it’s a why too connect us and make us a thinkers.
Philosophy it’s a way to understand and have a different opinion in the same question, and not for this reason it’s wrong they just have a different point of view.
There is a part of the book that is interesting and true for me, that’s says that the science it’s just trying to make us see clearer the reality that surround us and gives us objective questions, and that the philosophy it’s trying to transform the personal way we see this reality.
We can investigate for other person but we can’t think philosophically for other person this is so true because it doesn’t matter how much you think about an answer you won’t have the same thoughts not even with your family about a simple philosophical question.
And that what I think about the introduction to philosophy ;D

The importance of Philoshopy

Why do people study pilosophy? Why they give importance to that? This can help us with our life? Philosophy is not a waste of time?

This are some questions that people do about the topic and the aswer is that "yes for some people could be a waste of time" and "maybe this can't help us with our life" but that dont quit the importance of this topic.

This topic is important because this was the inital of all the other importants topics (science, astronomy, math, physics, etc) and can give a aswer and a different point of view of some topics that science and all of that can't give a satisfactory aswer like "death" (in a spiritual point of view) or "moral".

Philosophy can be as important as you want this means that is so personal the meaning that you give to it that can be so important or so boring.

The philosophy has a utility?

Many people question what is philosophy? or What is the utility?, maybe the people think for me is not good because I do not need in life, or maybe the young people say I don’t have interesting in the philosophy and I’m not going to study philosophy, I study medicine, engineering or other career.
But even as people say they do not use the philosophy, I say we are wrong, wrong, that the philosophy can be questioned on or have any relation to reason, and I guess all we argue every day, and we also become questions at any time during that activities have to do tomorrow?
or What happen with my life in a year or any other question that comes to mind.
But perhaps the people who say they do not use philosophy, they are right that something else is already using it and implement it, because I can say that an apple is red and people will believe me, but if someone were to ask Why is red? and there would have to explain and implement the philosophy. In some ways we make use of all philosophy, we ask questions and not try to explain or are trying to explain to someone else and use it most of our days, some apply it more than others, but I think we all relate in some way with her.

for what does philosophy stands for nowadays?

Philosophy has been a very old and antique tool used for many many years. But the really question is why?? for what does it stands for, if nobody pays it attention nowadays when we got a concrete matter as science.

This is a question that leave us thinking and we find out that philosphy is the exact complement of life. So that way we start thinking about why we do the things we do, and why we stop doing things

.

In the other hand we got science, it only looks for an answer and thats it.

thats why philosophy believe it or not is part of our lives and we just need to start thinking before acting on an foolish way.

Philosophy vs. Science

There has always been two strong currents in the matter of questioning about something. Even though that Philosophy and science started together, nowadays the two are far apart from each other. 

Science tries to answer the questions like:

How much is 2 + 2?

or

How many molecules of hydrogen are in a particle of water?

However, Phylosophy tries to answer another kind of questions. The answers of philosophy relate more to a way of thinking that to an objective thing, like science does. The type of questions that philosophy tries to answer are:

How does death affect you?

What is the reason for the human beeing to have a free mind?

But how does this can affect our lives? Well, for a start, it can help us choose a career between phylosofy or science and the difference between each other can make you reflect and make a wise choice. On the other hand, ther have been many conflicts because of peaople that think different that do not know how to respect other people way of thinking and have a false need to exterminate them.

So, although they started together, in recent times they cover different things and in some kind of points you can notice a certain contradiction between the two sides.

¿Why Philosophy?

Almost all people think ¿why philosophy? if I'm not interested, if i don't want study that, i want to be an engineer i don't care about philosophy. But Firstable,I think that we have to ask to ourselves... What is Philosophy? For many people this term can just mean one thing: Nothing,... or Philosophy don't help us to solve our problems, doesn't help us with economy or with many other things that we live everyday in our lives!.. why do i have to care about philosophy?
In my personal point of view i think that philosophy is a style of life, its a way to see the life, is a way to learn more about ourselves and with that start to learn and understand what is around us.
Fernando Savater in his book "Questions Of Life" Says something that it's very interesting for me.. Can Philosophy be Teach? Can we see beyond science? Can we trust on what we don't know with security? in something that we don't know that exactly means? Well this question depends on everyone. Philosophy its very subjective, it changes in everyone, because everyone have his own point of view, everyone have his way to see life, everyone have his way to learn about situations, a different way to feel, a different way to think, it's so huge and complex that all of us have a different answer, Philosophy its so huge and complex as our thoughts and our mind because we as humans that we are, we are very complex in every way, we always think, feel, see, analyzises, we are made by emotions, feelings, experiences, situations, all are different from other, we are not the same we dont think or feel the same than others, thats why philosophy can not be teach.
