Crazy idea: Maybe I should read up on some actual philosophy before I talk about it Will update yall with my philo101 learningspic.twitter.com/JHlXqjczRy
Lesson #1 Differentiating science and traditional philosophy Scientists assume that we can have knowledge of substances and aim to impart such knowledge to us, but they do not examine the concept of knowledge or the concept of substance ...
They need not for their journey to aquire truth and knowledge because their method relies upon the use of agreed upon fundamental categories of concepts, such as that of change, cause etc. Philosophy is all about ascertaining the true nature of those underlying concepts.
Lesson #2 Differentiating regular philosophy and existentialism Traditional philosophy is all about abstract concepts, whereas the subject of existentialism is the real living individual.
To tie this together: There is something so special about human life that it can't be studied by science, because ~scientific facts are existentially irrelevant~ A physician will tell you all the specific objective details about your medical problem, and even everything...
they know about the physiological state of death. But they cannot tell you what that means to you and your life as a living individual. How should you respond to this? What attitude should you take? Science cannot answer this for you, and here lies the realm of existentialism.
Philosophers and mathematicians have been at war for aeons. Philosophers say morals are truth. Creation is a task for Gods. Mathematicians say rules are truth. Numbers don't care about us. Science was called Natural Philosophy until Math violated the idea of a blessed Universe.
Oooh interesting. Didn't know this
