Phenomenology: a meeting between Plato and Aristoteles

I hope very sincerely that somebody has red Phenomenology of Spirit from Hegel; I think that nobody has read this book is very difficult and, sometime, boring, I admit that it is very difficult, but it is Hegel philosophy. But I want write this essay about my opinion on Phenomenology, because I think that this book has in itself Plato and Aristoteles, but why? A paragraph says: “…the first supersensitive word is copy of real word...”; this is Plato because he spoken about Word of ideas and this concept is modern translation of Word of ideas, where everything is present and in fact mankind found again on the word images and other that he has seen in the Ideas word. Hegel continuing to this opinion says also: “…The first word supersensitive, in fact it was perceived word immediately…because copy, it has had his model in this perceived word…”, the word “copy” is same used from Plato, mimesis(μίμέσίς); then it is a Plato’s think that Hegel has translated on Absolut spirit. But Aristoteles, where is? Second philosopher, this is Aristoteles is present for speculative reality, this is ability of mankind to see and consider reality, perception of real word, in fact he says: “the sensible certainty shows itself as acknowledge more rich; “in fact it is impossible that we set an external border, for space and time…”; it is criterion for acknowledge of Aristoteles, this is sensible reality and then reality, through philosophical speculation. Then in the first book of Hegel has addresses both Aristoteles and Plato, and he, after this book continues for Absolut spirit and he, naturally, sees it on God.

Forger

Edward was a very clever forger and painter, he falsified everything, sculpture, artisanship and above all pictures; but it is strange, all was legal, because he described his pictures false, rather he written about these works and he was selling it very easily; he was very capable. He organized exposition for his works and other authors, he was the first event organizer, and he was everywhere, every capital in the word has had an exposition for his works. He was very generous for his colleagues he, often, was selling works other painters. He loved very much Caravaggio, Italian painter at 17^th century, he loved this painter, very realistic, for passion; he has falsified every pictures of Caravaggio; he copied all except drawing because these are not, until now. He talked on the street and he looked an exhibition of paintings, he was very much astonish because he didn’t know about this exposition; then he entered and looked his catalogue, this is his paintings and he asked a guy there present, and he was painting: “Excuse me, but these paintings are mine”, the painter turned to Edward and answered: “No, absolutely, this painting his your, and he indicated a picture that was “Martyrdom of Saint Matthew”, and Edward answered: “That is a painting of Caravaggio, no certainly mine”, and painter answered: “You are failing because that is Edward but this painting is mine”, Edward recognized very soon face of Caravaggio, and in fact he asked: “Are you Caravaggio?”, and he answered: “No I am Edward but you are certainly Caravaggio, it is sufficient you look yourself on the mirror”, and he looked himself and seen face of Caravaggio, he laughed and he took one brush; he started a painting but he tough a figure and he painted other, a figure of Caravaggio; he was astonish, and he asked explication: “Why?”, and other painter answered: “You have copied always my paintings, then your personality now is not; you have to develop your personality, on contrary you have developed others and you have lost your soul”. Two costumers entered in gallery and looked the copy that Edward was painting, and man of this couple looked and said: “Perfect copy of Caravaggio”, while his husband looked other painter and his picture and said: “it’s true Edward! very good".

Eclecticism best method?

This essay looks about philosophical method that I think fit to interpretation everything or at last most of phenomenology, that is around us. I am convinced supporter of eclecticism, this is every method is opportune to interpreter; we can think reality for different philosophical think, we can think to Socrates and his  maieutic method, so that they can find their trust, or skepticism of Carneades or Phyrro; then I judge history of art for single artist, for economical richness and, above all, for costumer. I think that this method is perfect for interpretation of reality, because every phenomenology has explication and we can use every method of philosophy then think and to interpret the reality, it’s cultural or other nature; for example, we can think a behavior of man of our friend to Attualismo, this is philosophical current of Giovanni Gentile, that says: “That I am now I not was a minute ago”, and we must consider also the psychologist science, that is, for me, bet method for interpretation of this sudden change. But we can use also philosophical think. The interpretation of reality we can use the speculative think of Aristoteles or Idealism of Hegel, the Platonism or all together; because the eclecticism takes everything and can explain everything for a philosophical method, economic, cultural and human. We can think everything for every think and we can consider human reality or metaphysical and to use every think that we consider fit to interpretation. Then I think that is useless use a current to think because this think could not give answers, then we can think other current, and this is eclecticism.
