Method of Philosophy
Philosophy
is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence,
especially when considered as an academic discipline.
In
the method of proceeding
-
Philosophy arises from religious skepticism.
-
Philosophers have been compared to lawyers. But
both relativism and philosophy disrupt the legal process. Both of them put
forth rational arguments in support of its own view, even if false.
-
True determination is to be found in the case of
guilt and innocence.
-
Relativism does not find out the truth, but it is
the ability to correct errors.
-
A lawyer must prove one’s guilt in the court, but the
philosopher must prove his thesis.
-
Philosophical question does not deal with the
legality like a lawyer, but can give rational argument and rational defense.
-
German philosopher of eighteen centuries, Immanuel Kant argued, “If one can
advance oneself by lying and can get away with it, one should tell a lie”.
-
Seventeenth century, British philosopher Thomas Hobbes took up the standpoint of
individual acting freely without the restraint of any law and order.
-
The philosopher must deal with objective truth, but
not with belief.
-
German philosopher Leibniz raised the question about the existence of the world.
-
Justification of the value of the world is more
vital than finding its cause. According to Leibniz, God is the cause of the
world.
-
Failure to justify the world may affect the life.
-
Another theory, there is no cosmic purpose.
-
Another misconception, Pseudo Question, which means
there are some questions without answers.
-
As a philosophical skeptic, one may have religious
faith to determine cosmic purpose.
-
Some philosopher has managed to live their lives
without believing any cosmic purpose, like the contemporary philosopher Jean
Paul.
-
Philosophy has two types of sense; ambitious and
modest.
-
Historically, philosophy arises in the hands of
Socrates and others as a successor to the mythological religion of the ancient
Greek.
