 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.
