What is philosophy?

[Anonymous No.22039572]

Hey there, little buddy! So, philosophy is like a super-duper fancy word that grown-ups use to talk about things that are really, really deep and mysterious. It's like when you ask questions like "Why is the sky blue?" or "What happens when we sleep?" Philosophy tries to understand the big, big questions about the universe and everything in it.

You know how sometimes you wonder about things that you can't see or touch? Like dreams, or feelings? Well, philosophy is all about trying to understand those things that are invisible or hard to explain. It's like a big adventure where we try to figure out what the world is made of and how it all fits together.

But, you know, on 4chan, they like to have fun and joke around a lot. So sometimes they might say silly things or make memes about philosophy. It's all part of the fun, but remember, it's important to keep an open mind and be curious about the big questions in life, even if they seem a bit strange sometimes.

So, keep being curious, little buddy! The world is full of wonders, and philosophy is just one way grown-ups try to understand them.

most "philosophy" is either categorics (misnamed phenomenology) or logic (which gets its ground from categorics). What remains is merely metaphysics, which is merely the science of Being qua Being, which is the only place eternal truths lie. Besides metaphysics, logic, and categorics, there is mathematics and empirical science, and then there is pseudophilosophy and pseudophilosophy. pseudophilosophy comprises about 75% of all "philosophy" ever written and it consists either of religious mysticism taken through a poor battery of dialectic to give it an air of truth or existential nonsense. ethics is not a field of philosophy because ethics springs from instinct and cannot be rationalized.

Metaphysics is an entirely nonsensical and obsolete field. While it is already cringeworthy that metaphysics fails to answer its own questions, it is even worse that metaphysics fails even harder at phrasing its questions in such a way that they become meaningfully answerable in the first place. Upon closer examination all of metaphysics appears to be wordcel confusion ("language games") dating back to a primitive late bronze age understanding of the world propagated by ancient Greek midwits. The most legitimate answer to questions of "existence" (a horribly semantically overloaded word with no distinct philosophical meaning of its own) is ultimately and unironically "It just is, okay?"

Some gayreek faggot from Miletus called Philo wanted to impress some thiasus chick called Sophie so he decided to make some random shit up about the composition of the world. Since he was horny and could only think about her wet vagina, he told her the world was wholly made out of water. He managed to score. Next time they met he wanted something more kinky: this time, he told her the world was made of a generic roteating substance called the "apeiron", undoubtedly a fusion of the negative "a-" with the verb "peirao", which meant "try hard". In other words, he was a lazy faggot who wanted an easy way to fuck and decided to name the concept he invented after this. Either way, that night he indeed managed to 69 her. The third and last time they met, he had developed a brap fetish and thus tried to convince her to fart on him by telling her the world was made out of air. Unfortunately that braphog was lactose intolerant, but had still decided to have a feta-based dinner. The sheer strength and potency of those whiffs were too much for poor fag Philo to handle: he died intoxicated but happy. Such a laughable death to the locals became a mystery to the rest of the gayreeks, fascinating mostly females. In order to appeal to their spiritual sensibilities then, all future would-be-philos decided adopt his methods and to spin his death as the result of some trascendental event, thus starting philosophy as we know it.

mostly Aristotle (the biggest namefag in history)

I seriously can't think of anyone else who is cited so much for being so wrong. Euclid and Archimedes did math and engineering and got provably correct results. Aristotle did none of that. All he did was bloviate. His model of the cosmos was wrong. His biological classification scheme was wrong. His
theory of the four elements was wrong. He argued against Democritus that matter was infinitely divisible, and was wrong (granted, they were both
arguing from first principles and neither had any evidence to prove his case, but Aristotle still guessed wrong). Aristotle's greatest accomplishment was that everything he said about the natural world was wrong.

In general, all of the Greek philosophers are greatly overrated and it was justice when Rome rolled in and conquered them because the Romans were far more impressive in their works of engineering and in their statecraft. Fuck Aristotle. Stupid ass bitch.

Literally yes you retard. He also came up with the entire idea of "science" (scientia, a calque of theoria, which means noetic contemplation adequate to a field of natural phenomena and presented as a parsimonious series of true statements). He came up with or at least formalized half of the technical language (techne - as distinct from episteme - another concept formalized by Aristotle) we use today, including essence, all our abstract language surrounding being/beings, etc. He invented the terms and technical vocabularies of physics and kinetics in the modern sense. And he did all of this because his life's mission was to systematize the acquisition and efficient sharing of knowledge of the world, in a single complete body of knowledge.

The difference between you and Aristotle is this. Aristotle stood before the totality of being, physis, with a clear and empty mind, and within the span of one lifetime created the entire ideal of "science" as we know it today and as it has endured for 2350 years. You could go back to that same moment and stand side by side with Aristotle with a head full of modern notions, and all the benefit of a headstart of 2350 extra years, and the most you would think to do is google stuff by asking google full sentence questions because you don't even understand how a search engine works because you are retarded. But first you would click the little "+" and I'd say "whoa, dude, what are you doing?" And you'd say "opening a new tab so I can search." And I'd say "dude, hit ctrl+t. What are you, a woman?" Then I'd look over at Aristotle and we'd exchange knowing glances of disappointment in you.

In science I encountered phenomena, but only thanks to philosophy have I realized that my perception of said phenomena, and thus the the events themselves, are subject to and affected by observation. The famous Weizmann institute electron experiment proves that we shape our reality at the smallest level, and thus at every level. Philosophy is the search for the ultimate cause, ironically this search is best conducted through physical effort, it being one and the same in differing degrees as philosophy you materialist faggot.

>A man becomes a philosopher by reason of a certain perplexity, from which he seeks to free himself. This is Plato's θαυμαξειν, which he calls a μαλα φιλοσοφικον παθος. But what distinguishes the false philosopher from the true is this: the perplexity of the latter arises from the contemplation of the world itself, while that of the former results from some book, some system of philosophy which is before him. Now Fichte belongs to the class of the false philosophers. He was made a philosopher by Kant's doctrine of the thing-in-itself, and if it had not been for this he would probably have pursued entirely different ends, with far better results, for he certainly possessed remarkable rhetorical talent.

>Neither our knowledge nor our insights are ever especially increased by comparing and discussing what is said by another, for that is always merely like pouring water from one container into another. Only through one’s own consideration of things themselves can insight and knowledge really be increased, for it alone is the ever ready and ever proximate living source. Accordingly it is curious to observe how would-be philosophers are always busy on the first path and seem not to know the other at all; how they are always occupied with what this person said, and with what that person might have meant, so that they are constantly tipping over containers, as it were, to see if maybe some little drop might remain. Meanwhile the living source flows neglected at their feet. Nothing betrays their incapacity quite so much as this, and gives the lie to their affected air of importance, profundity and originality.

[Anonymous No.22041988]

>>22041984
>The ordinary book philosopher relates to someone who thinks for himself as the historian relates to an eye witness; the latter speaks from his own direct interpretation of the matter. This is why at bottom all who think for themselves are basically in agreement, and their difference arises only as one of standpoint; but where this does not change anything, they all say the same thing. For they are merely stating what they have objectively apprehended. Often I was pleasantly surprised afterwards to find formulations in ancient works by great men of propositions that I had hesitated to bring before the public because of their paradoxical nature. – The book philosopher on the other hand recounts what this man said, what that one meant and then again what another objected and so on. This he compares, evaluates and criticizes, thus attempting to get at the truth of things, and in the process he becomes quite similar to the historian. So for instance he will launch investigations on whether Leibniz might ever have been a Spinozist for a while and so forth ... Herbart ... – One might be amazed by the great effort such a man takes, since it seems that if only he tried to focus on the matter itself, he would soon reach his goal with a bit of thinking for himself. Only there is a small drawback here, insofar as this does not depend on our will; we can sit down and read at any time, but not sit down – and think.

>To read all kinds of expositions of the doctrines of the philosophers, or in general the history of philosophy, instead of reading their own original works is like letting somebody else chew our food. Would anyone read world history if we were free to watch with our own eyes the events of former times that interest us? Now in respect to the history of philosophy such an autopsya of the subject is actually available, namely in the original writings of the philosophers. At any rate, we can then limit ourselves, for the sake of brevity, to well-chosen principal chapters, the more so as they all abound in repetitions, which we can spare ourselves. In this way we will get to know the essence of their doctrines in authentic and unadulterated form, whereas from the half dozen histories of philosophy that now appear every year we merely receive what entered the head of a philosophy professor, and in the form in which it there appears at that. It goes without saying that the thoughts of a great mind are bound to shrink considerably in order to fit into the three-pound-brain of such a parasite of philosophy, out of which they are then to emerge again, clothed in the respective jargon of the day, accompanied by his precocious judgement.

In the current year when people say philosophy they mean metaphysics.
The examination of intangible truth through reason.

There are other branches of philosophy not concerned with intangible truth but most are dead or unknown in western culture. Naturalism, numerical divination, cosmology, egoism, the theory of forms.

For instance the study of rocks to determine the perfect form of rock. Very Chinese.
The study of the numbers in the bible to work a new OS, trying to use the numbers in a calendar to work out when the world ends, using mathematical formula to predict the future.

This is demonstrably false. Maybe science as a purely theoretical discipline, but not as a method to gain knowledge. That would be trail-and-error, something we've arguably been doing since we developed consciousness and became aware of not doing the same wrong thibg twice.

Also, the systemization of knowledge was already done by Shamans who were measuring the path of the sun in the sky, see 'How the Shaman Stole the Moon'.

Also, Aristotle's research on animals is utterly laughable and suffers hopelessly from the survivorship bias, something that wasn't corrected until Darwin came along.

Also, the idea that we need theory before we can do practice is laughable.

Also, relying solely on theory is called the ludic fallacy and is potentially disastrous.

Philosophy is just celebrity worship. Worshipping Plato or Kant or any other historical old white man is no different from worshipping Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate today.
In science you have textbooks presenting contents independently of who discovered them. You can study quantum mechanics without needing to read original texts by Schrödinger, and in fact you don't even need to know his name when applying the equation he discovered. A textbook about philosophy on the other hand will always be a dry list of "Plato said this ... Nietzsche said that ..." Philosophy has produced no objective insights, philosophy is merely a collection of opinions from ancient meme influencers.
Studying philosophy is not just a waste of time, it's also the epitome of cuckoldism. There is no moral difference between "I let this other guy fill my wife's pussy with his cum instead of my own cum" and "I let this other guy fill my mind with his ideas instead of my own ideas". If you take philosophy and philosophers seriously you're just too immature to think for yourself.

But when Jesus was taken before Pilate, then the world of facts and the world truths were face to face in immediate and implacable hostility. It is a scene appallingly distinct and overwhelming in its symbolism, such as the world's history had never before and has never since looked at. The discord that lies at the root of all mobile life from its beginning, in virtue of its very being, of its having both existence and awareness, took here the highest form that can possibly be conceived of human tragedy. In the famous question of the Roman Procurator: "What is truth?"-- the one word [aletheia] that is race-pure in the whole Greek Testament-- lies the entire meaning of history, the exclusive validity of the deed, the prestige of the State and war and blood, the all-powerfulness of success and the pride of eminent fitness. Not indeed the mouth, but the silent feeling of Jesus answers this question by that other which is decisive in all things of religion-- What is actuality? For Pilate actuality was all; for him nothing. Were it anything, indeed, pure religiousness could never stand up against history and the powers of history

[Anonymous No.22052511]

My kingdom is not of this world. [...] The born politician despises the inward thought-processes of the ideologue and ethical philosopher in a world of fact-- and rightly. For the believer, all ambition and succession of the historical world are sinful and without lasting value-- he, too, is right. A ruler who wishes to improve religion in the direction of political, practical purposes is a fool. A sociologist-preacher who tries to bring truth, righteousness, peace, and forgiveness into the world of actuality is a fool also. No faith yet has altered the world, and no fact can ever rebut a faith. There is no bridge between directional Time and timeless Eternity, between the course of history and the existence of a divine world-order, in the structure of which the word "providence" or "dispensation" denotes the form of causality. This is the final meaning of the moment in which Jesus and Pilate confronted one another. In the one world, the historical, the Roman caused the Galilean to be crucified-- that was his Destiny. In the other world, Rome was cast for perdition and the Cross became the pledge of Redemption-- that was the "will of God."
