The survival of the philosophy
The philosophy is a matter that can be difficult always because very
much less common, because certainly we must not pass the days to think to Georg
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel(1770-1831), Aristotle (b.Ch.384-322),
Plato(b.Ch. 427-347) and other, because we have things more interesting that
the philosophical speculation, or exam; but why the philosophy exist? Because
it continues to survive? The philosophy isn’t necessary to the life or it is
necessary? It is seems strange but the philosophy is necessary to the life,
because it is the think, and the resolution of some problem can comes to us
also through the philosophy, why? Simple, we must ask to us what is the
philosophy? It is the think, that has other sakes from the daily life, but the
suggestions of the philosophy can come to us through a read of a book or, as in
ancient Greek, through the hearing of some philosopher, a lesson of philosophy
for a professor can aid us to consider some solution, and to understand that
the philosophy is clear and daily, how? Simple because the philosophy is the
think, normal and daily think, that has took and solemnized from the important
names, but it is the normal think, hence if we go to supermarket and something
costs very much we renounce, and it is the ataraxia of Epicurus(b.Ch.341-271),
that has said that the useless things can be avoided, we aren’t Epicurean, but
we are following the suggestion of Epicurus, the reader now is thinking or
saying, it is the normal and daily saving, yes, certainly, but it is the
philosophical system of Epicurus, certainly he would be more loved if he has
also said how we can win a lottery, but it is the fate and not philosophy;
Aristotle is more practice because he describes the reality, and he can said to
us something, through the description of human gender, a step that I love very
much, in Nicomachean ethic, a step that said that the friendship is born alone
among the equal persons, and is we consider attentively this step we can
ascertain that is the reality, and not it so because has said from Aristotle
but because it is the reality, that already in time of Aristotle was so. The
semiotic analysis of Aristotle of words, in the On the interpretation and from
the Categories is other think that we can read every day in philosophy of
Aristotle and in daily reality. Emmanuel Kant(1724-1804) is acme of the
description, because he has took alone the reality, the daily reality, and it
is alone a description absolutely useless, because he hasn’t overcame the
description; the democracy, although he wasn’t democratic, is Socrates(b.Ch.469-399), that said always: “Know your
self”(Γνωθι σαυτόν), democratic because Socrates has asked to his “pupils” that
they learn before the rational think, and after they could think what they
wanted, and it is the freedom of opinion, hence the democracy. The philosophers
that I have mentioned here has thought before us that is evident, but they have
thought it before because they are born before and stop.
