Godssake! How did you get all that?Philosophy is a reactive-process (sub-atomic propulsion mechanism) that enhances or amplifies data filtering, preparing us for science or psychological enrichment. — Varde
Again ... godssake! — Alkis Piskas
I wonder too ... Although in this case I think that it is I who bashed more @Verde for his description of philosophy than he philosophy :grin:I don't know why people start threads bashing philosophy. — Jackson
Imagination, as a process, can be but it is normally not random. It is mainly a directed action of forming new ideas/concepts, images, etc. It is the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful.Philosophy isn't just imagination randomly, — Varde
My advice to you is to start using dictionaries: Look up the definitions --all of them-- of every concept you are using. It's the only way to put some order in the confusion, which you are not even aware you are in. — Alkis Piskas
I agree. Unfortunately, this is quite common. Again, I wonder why ...Making up words and concepts does not allow for philosophy. — Jackson

This should have been in the introduction post.Philosophy is an ultra-retrograde and sub ordinate reactive-process.
Ultra-retrograde: where a subject is thought about from multiple different depths using the active-brain.
Sub-ordinate: where a subject is filtered through self-psychoanalysis (psychology is a rank higher than philosophy.
I use philosophical thought based on not understanding, understanding data partially or misunderstanding- otherwise it becomes a psychology discussion.
Data becoming knowledge is a mental switch from philosophy to psychology.). — Varde
This is true. Even for myself, in a way. I rarily think that I have still to learn about philosophy itself. At some point I realized that I can have my own, independent ideas, which of course have been built from reading a lot of philosophical texts and about quite a lot of philosophers. I feel that I am in a position to judge whatever philosophical idea, statement, quotattion, etc., on the condition that it is clear and well defined, of course. Parallelly, however, I can always get inspired by philosophical ideas.They would not think that of physics, but think there is nothing to learn about philosophy. — Jackson
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
