Ugh..philosophy. I usually try to avoid this kind of topics. This particular subject tends to mess a lot with my head, and makes me feel insecure; makes me feel unsure. It makes me want to find out more, learn more, know more. It makes me feel rather insignficant when being compared to so many things. The simple thought of the word "philosophy" is more than enough to drive me insane and never want to touch the subject again.
Don't get me wrong though, I love being caught up in deep thought! It's like tying up knots for me. I could go on all day long, and find it rather amusing, but it'll get annoying if i can't find my way out of those twists and turns and end up with a big tangled-up ball of ideas and problems that in the end leads me down the road of "to nowhere".
I'm more than positive that a few hundred pages are not going to be enough to make me fully understand the term of philosophy, and will more likely leave me with more questons. However, the simple introduction to the book "The Questions of Life" brings up a lot of interesting points of view that are worth checking out. Comparing and contrasting science with philosophy has never been easier. I'm looking forward to obtaining knowledge and wisdom from these pages, and will most definitely share them with you.
Meraz,, i really like your blog.. It's really different from the others. I agree that philosphy mess up with your head and makes you life more complex and not simple as it looks. The book is great and opens your knowledge to many directions.We need to be focused in order to obtain more knowledge of philosphy and try to gather many information and answers that are flying in the sky.. KEEP WORKING WELL
ReplyDeleteHi Andres, after reading your blog I have to say that I had never thought of philosophy the way yo do, I think you have very interesting points of view but if I may say, I think you should not be afraid to end up in the "big tangled-up ball" because there's always a way out and when you find it you're going to feel great and you're going to realize how much wiser critical thinking can make you.
