Nothingness is possible?


No because if the nothing exist it means that something exist. This is an impossible philosophic.
The existence of the nothing only is possible in the crazy imagination of people because to say that nothingness exists, means that at least exist a concept.
To talk about the existence of nothingness is a non sense similar to square, circles, or triangles of seven sides.

Music


My favorite kind of art is music because music is the universal language because it is in the deepest information of the universe, the music is in the routes of the life.
Many animals love and compose music like birds, mouses with ultra sounds that we can not listen, wales, even cat and dogs.
Everything is music in the universe, the sound of my hearth, the songs of the waves and the wind.

Ding an sich of a meaning

The ding an sich of a meaning is the essence of the thing which remains immutable beyond the time and the space, above all the circumstances. For instance a dog is a dog two thousand years ago and in the essence is the same dog now and in the future. A dog is a dog if it is brave or if it is quiet, never mind if the dog is quiet or brave. It never mind if the dog is big or small it will always be a dog.
Everything have the same condition, a human being, the gold, the water, a star. They have the condition that define them by themselves.
The ding an sich is the meaning of the meaning.

Is sanity power?


The power is sane when it is in the hand of good people and power is bad when it is in the hand of bad people. If the power is in the right hands it will serve to do good and change things, but if power is in the hand of bad people it will be used for their own benefit, for the abuse of people, because that is their nature and what power did was to discover what was really. Power does not corrupt it discovers the corrupts.
For example: If a person becomes a director of a educational institution and is a good person will remain, and will use that power to improve the institution and will look for the benefit of all,
but if that person is not good when it comes to director, he or she will be an abuser of teachers, students and will use the power for their own benefit.
That's why I think that power is good or bad depending of who has it.

Neurosis


One of my neurosis is that, when I walk into a messy room, I want to organize everything because I get stressed with the disorder. That's why everything in my room must be in the place.
I think that it is originated in the fact that since always in my house we all have to help my father to find his things like glasses, keys, telephone, etc, because he never remember where the thing are because he never put the things in the place, and it makes all waste time looking for his things.

Capilism vs. Socialism



I think that socialism in theory is the most appropriate system for the human beings because it prensent to us a relationship of equality between everyone and allow us to have education, health, to have a home, etc. Without matter their economic capacity of each person. And the capitalism concentrates the economic power in a few hands, and this people are the only ones that have access to a good education, health, to have a home and havet the capacity of feed their families without trouble.



I think if there was a truly socialist society this would be more just and more human than the one we live know that makes ones died from hunger and the others are sick of obesity.

In a socialist system everyone could have the same access to the same type of education therefore everyone would have the same oportunities because in this system, is the State the one responsible of providig these services while the capitalism is private enterprise that provides these services therefore they will access only those who can afford them. Is not sane to concentrate the wealth in a few hands, its necessary a redistribution in a same way to make from this society a better society more fair and more equal.




In the world, today one billion people in the capitalist world went to bed hungry. So the question is where is the richness?. Today in the world died from hunger six billion people , all this victims live in capitalist countries, no one live in Cuba so, what is the richness of capitalism?.


The capitalism is an insane system because ppush the people in order to consume more and more, to waist more and more, in this way people believe that they are happy but the question is Why if they are so happy in the states for instance people has to consume seventy million dollars each day in medicine against depression?. It is a very suspicious way for being happy or for being richness.


The philosophy of the capitalism is that you have to be rich, but the world and the life is made of opposite or opposition so if hte richness exists, the porberty exist so the richness of a human group only can be explained based on the poberty of the other people.


The only power that creates richness is the work of the people not the poberty. If you the owner of a piece of land, that land without work will be a group of bushes. If the land give richness to the owner, the reason is the work of the workers.


The property of the land and the property of the richness has the routes in the violence, when somebody took advantage usig weapons or cheats. This difference increased with the time, is the reason that every day there are more richness in the hands of the rich people , and there are more and more poberty.


On the other hand the system work perfectly with a good number of employ people because this people are the support for lows salaries, and low salaries for poor people means profits for rich people.


The owner of an Industry pay a salarie to a worker not dor justice but for bussines in the same way than the farmer gives grass to the cow. In order to explote the cow using the milk and later the meat.


The capitalism is the system of the power, is the injustice that denys the brotherhood and the dignity of the people and it is a system that converts people into a silly and bug and dirty stomach, that only consume and consume rubish.

Are human beings matter or psyche?

  • Psyche is the function of the organized matter in the brain as in the same way urine is the function of kidneys but we can find this function not only in the human being, as the matter of fact the capacity of thinking exist specially in the superior mammals like dogs, cats, monkeys, chimps, dolphins, walles, and in many kinds of birds.
    The capacity of thinking is not exlusive of the human being, it is exclusive of the complex brain and every animal with the complex brain can think as it is demostrated by the science.

The human being without brain can not think it means that the function of the brain is thinking as the greatest conquer of organized matter.

Long time ago several philosophers used to think that the human being was psyche contained by the matter. Today we know that the psyche is the function of the matter so if the question is are we psyche or matter? The answer is we are both.

How can something be someone's property?


There are two kinds of concepts about property. The first one is about the property. It depends upon the local culture, local history, and local laws. For instance to be an owner of a piece of land or owner of a house or any other good .

In Australia may have differents rules from the rules that exist in our Amazonia or in Alaska, in many areas of the world, specially in the primitive country side, there are not clear limits or legal papers. People understand that in the same in way as the light of sun belongs to everybody and the air that we breath has no limits in the same way the land, the water and food belong to everybody.

The other kind of propertie could be understood like a colective and cultural creation for instanccce dancing, music, legend, etc.
For example: The tango belong to Argentina, the Cumbia to Colombia, Ranchera to Mexico.

René Descartes


" The common sense is the best distributed thing in the world, everyone thinks it's so well equipped that even the most difficult to please in every other aspect not usually want more of what they own"


René Descartes

From the deepest beggining of the times people has been looking for the true and in the very beggining as far as they were ingnorants, they decided to trust in the idea of gods, magicians, priest. It means the true was given by the authority of other people but not for the reason.

Descartes began a new time, the use of intelligence and the reason. The first step was forgetting everything known as true, and the submition of every idea to the light of reason.

If by any chance the idea could not support the analysis, this idea had to be errased from the mind.




It meant to start the process of knownledge from the most small and simple unity in order to built up the most complex ideas. This is the cartesian method


In the way of this process people had to eliminate any idea born from the religion.

Idols of the mind


Idol of the cave:

In 1936 when the olympic games of Berlin, the American runner Jesse Owens, had been despised by his teammates for being black. When he traveled with his team inside of U.S.A, he had to stay in a hotel for black people and his teammates in a hotel for white people. Sometimes he had to dress like a poor worker and he entered to a hotel of white people in secret. Jesse Owens was discriminated by his teammate and also was discriminated by foreign. When the Olympic games began in Germany under the Nazism, in one day Jesse Owens win four gold medals and humilate white athletes. Adolf Hitler was furious, he left the area without recognizing the superiority of the runner.


It is an idol of the cave because it is the product of what people learnt in that time. It was supposed that black people was inferior and white people was superior. And it demostrate how people is fascinated with themselfs.

How is god adressed in the middle ages?


The perseption that people had of god in the middle ages was the one dictated by the chatolic church.

God was considered like the most powerful being that existed on earth because the power of the church, was so big that influenced the entire populace. Everybody obey the mandates of the church because everybody was convinced that they were going to be severaly punished for the " almighty" if they don't do it. some people tried to rebel against this way of thinking, but inmediately they were repressed, acussed of heresy and sentenced to death. They were burned, mutilated, torturated.


The science of the time, the medicine and the education were dominated, also for this obscurantist way of thinking that promulgated god as the unique truth, then the diseases were not diseases, they were punishments of god, the natural phenomenas also were punishments of god and the solution to all this misfortunes were prays, suplications, and economic offering that were recibed by his representative on earth, the church.


We infer from this that in the Middle Ages everything revolved around the idea of god and his power of make and unmake, the fear that this produced in people makes that during the middle ages people didn't tried to look for new ways of thinking, to discover new things, so people only believed and didn't think.

Is the soul a product of body functions ?



People may have different points of view of this question because this is a very polemic question.


According to the platonics and the christians, the soul is inmortal and the body can died but the soul is eternal and for them the soul is independent form the human body. It is inmaterial .

And aristotelics understood the human soul as something that allow us to have functions in our body like, breathing, the memory, the emotions, and the same perception of the reality.

But for others and for me the soul doesn't exist because for me the soul doesn't make anything because it doesn't exist.

I think that is the brain who has the function of what aristotelics call the soul.

Aristotle


They said that the good student is the one that exceeds the master: and that's what Aristotle did, he was the student of Plato. He modify de Platonic philosophy.



Plato was an idealist, he believed that the most important was the purity and the perfection of the ideas, withoutu the importance of matter. Aristotle considered that the senses and especially the view were fundamental to acces to reality.



Both have diferences in their fundamental concept. To Plato the ideas existed as the mos true and absolut. And for Aristotle that abstract ideas not existed and they have to be linked to other materials.



The philosophic view of Aristotle was the fact of consulting the reality through the senses, to get to knownledge, was know as Empiricism.


Matter and Form


But there was, off course, besides the differences, between the two great philosophers indentities. Both believed that the knownledge must respond to the ¿why? of the phenomena that are studied and must distinguish the esential from the coincidental

To the preplatonics philosophers and to Plato, the substance was more important than the form. And for Aristotle, bases on the senses, was more important the form and he matter that the platonic idea of the substance.


Soul

The idea of the soul that exists in the Christianity has been taked from Plato. He tought that the soul existed independently of the body, that it was inmortal and that only humans have soul.


Aristotle thought that the soul was something that allowed the functions of our body like, breathing, the memory, emotions and the same perception of the reality. The concept of Aristotle is closer to the modern sicology and is similar to what we call now mind.


The Eudaimonia

The word comes form "eu" which means good, nice, armonic, and "daimon" which means espirit. So, it is an armonic and happy spirit. Somehow, it is the big dream of the humans: happiness, peace, succes.. these are some important elements that are part of the eudaimonia but thye are not the eudaimonia. Define and how to achieve eudaimonia is another problem.

The virtue

It consists in adapt our emotions to the circunstances and always do the right thing, it means , the racional. If a person feels the tentation of misbehave, and do it, he or she won't find happiness in a long time. but on the other hand if the person all the time refuse temptations, his life will not be pleasant. The best is not to be tentate by the bad. This is what Aristotle call the virtuouse activity of the soul.

Ethics

Aristotle raises the ethic of the virtue, which is already defined. Besides the other one, the consequentialism which means, meditate in the consecuences of our acts. And the deontology afirms that we must act according to the rules, without having consecuences.

The polict

One of his most famous phrases is: " Man is a political animal" . The base of the convivence in the polis. "politic" derives form this word. The human being must work in favor to the polis, wchis means the collectivity and the polis must offer to the human being the conditions to reach the eudaimonia.

Plato

Everything we know about Socrates is for Plato's writings.
Plato is going to question reality. He said that there's some guys living in a dark cave and they see that the light come and they can see their own shadows, ( back of the cave) reflected.
Plato said that, that's the world ( allegory of the cave).
Plato thing that in this world is no truth so he divided the world in: Gala, were people live. Uranus, sky. Hyperuranus, truth, world of ideas. ( An idea is the perfect escense of things)
Plato is the first rationalist,because to understand the world, we reason.

Plato said that Eros ( cupid) is reflected (body) and psyche (mymph) is real world (mental)- Reality, true and beautiful are the same.

Art is a recreation of mature so is a double fallacy
