Philosophy Now Forum

Words like problem and solution ring false in philosophy, because they postulate the independence of what is thought from thinking exactly there, where thinking and what is thought are mediated by one another. Only what is true, can truly be understood philosophically. The fulfilling completion of the judgement in which understanding occurs is as one with the decision over true and false. Whoever does not participate in the judging of the stringency of a theorem or its absence does not understand it. It has its own meaning-content, which is to be understood, in the claim of such stringency. Therein the relationship of understanding and judgement distinguishes itself from the usual temporal order.

Pah!

nothing, i just thought the examples were interesting, that's all, historically, i have no real opinion about them.

So you clutter up "philosophy" threads with music vids and have no reason for doing so?

How truthfully refreshing MJA. You have made my day, Socrates would be proud.

noooo chaz, the title of the thread is titled, 'You only lose what you cling to', and i found that the videos related to that statement culturally. i wonder what cannot be lost culturally? technological advancement might be one? i appreciate the majority of technological advancement. i wonder if we culturally cling to this, we will lose it in the future someday as well? thanks for your video by the way.

I would like to have lunch with Socrates,
And after it was all said and done,
So would the questions be.

As for loosing it - I can't image how it would ever happen that we could loose this material, barring a major population catastrophe world-wide due to a comet hitting the earth - digital media is cheap as chips. Somewhere on earth the means to play songs with a device that costs no more than price of a loaf of bread will always be with us for the foreseeable future.
