What is critical is how do you define what is philosophy?attofishpi wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:12 pm Surely, it must be to take out any subjective abstraction that we perceive and attempt to reduce that subjective perception of reality, all the way down to a finite binary conclusion..., or am I missing the mark?
It is claimed there are many definitions of philosophy as the number of people who attempt to define it.
Regardless of whatever the definition of philosophy that is put forward, I believe ALL humans are programmed to philosophize down to the basic definition of philosophy, i.e.
- "Philosophy is the impulse of striving to progress and maintain the well-being of the individuals and that of humanity relying on whatever available and possible tools via the impulse of continuous improvements."
Whatever, and all other sub-definitions of philosophy from whoever, they must align with the above main basic definition.
