Philosophy is considered a science but it is difficult to say, when one has to compare with an ordinary science, for example biology, or chemistry. This is a question that turns into a burning problem among the scientists and linguists all over the world. Can philosophy be a science? What does philosophy operate with? It operates with categories, which can be as wide and as interchangeable as one
Recently, John Lofton of The American View (Motto: God, Family, Republic) commented on this blog on a recent post. My response was probably (ok, definitely) too glib.
Because Lofton cited psalms and verse as part of his arguments, I ignored the entirety. This was unfair: just because I don’t think that everything in the Bible is [...]
What Is Your Purpose In Investing?Lately, I have undergone a kind of change in my thinking towards unit trust investments. I have always been looking for ways to simplify the things I do in life. Whether it is naming my files in the folders of my computer, or keeping my house organised, or writing my blog postings in numbering system. However, when it comes to unit trust investments, we have fail
In this excellent video, Osho explains the difference between seeing/knowing and thinking/philosophizing. No philosopher has ever been able to know the truth. All the philosophers have been thinking about the truth. But thinking about the truth is an impossibility. Either you know it, or you don't.
What if someone supposed to you that all you see, hear, feel, taste, touch is a collection of interactions and your ideas about the world are formed by other ideas upon other interactions. You say, “The sky is blue.” But then you realize it is only because your eyes are set up to see a [...]
These lecture notes have been developed over many years and draw on material presented by Alan Code in his Introduction to Ancient Philosophy course given at UC-Berkeley in the 1980s when I served as his Teaching Assistant.

Philosophy, Christina Carlino’s retail range of cosmetics has managed to become successful in the cut-throat, oversaturated world of cosmetics, in part due to its appeal as a brand that does not impress the same -often unhealthy- expectations many other brands do on women.

Today is the World Philosophy Day. Shouldn't we devote some time today to think on some trivial as well as complex things?
I remember a poem that we had to read in around class 9.

We have no time to stand and stare.
So, take some moment to ponder on your existence today, and ask yourselves a few questions. You might begin wit

I haven't read any of Bob Ong's works, and though I have (judgmental) issues on the literary merits and social correctness of his writing, he is undeniably a major--if not the biggest--figure in modern Filipino pop literature for his impressive book sales and readership.

Philosophy of life
Philosophy of life should be based on our own thinking.
Many people walk the road for the search of ultimate truth. We all want to know why we exist and how creation is formed. How life should be perceived and explored. We are avid explorers deriving meaning out of experiences and for some this [...]
The unique appeal of Ayurveda is the integration of a Universal spiritual philosophy which has been largely expunged from the more materialistic "Maoist-styled" TCM. However, if one considers the pre-Maoist, "Taoism" of TCM that expounds upon the philosophical Yin-Yang paradigm, we can appreciate the equally spiritual basis of TCM which is largely de-emphasized today in mainland China and the majo

Philosophy is a form of practice. You might say that Buddhist philosophy is practice seeking clarification, in the same way that Christians theologians say that theology is faith seeking understanding. The clarification of the mind we are talking about here is not an intellectual game. Philosophy helps a person see through the appearances of things and confront reality face to face as you were loo

Money is a reality, a permanent feature of our everyday lives. It gives our lives a particular rhythm, a particular «charm», a particular perception of the world and our place in it.
Money creates problems when we do not have it, and yet more problems when we do have it. But it is only an illusion that we are in control of our money: in actual fact we do not notice how subtly and intensively it
Teilhard imagined a stage of evolution characterized by a complex membrane of information enveloping the globe and fueled by human consciousness.

Our previous studies of Shihab al-Din Yahya al-Suhrawardi, commonly known as the Shaykh al-Ishraq, have put us in a position to appreciate the full importance of his work.

The benefits of organic gardening are clear, perhaps so simple and straightforward that gardeners used to complicated explanations must dial down their expectations and adopt an attitude closer to those of previous generations.

Becer Gul says that for Alevis God is more about love then fear... I consider Alevism to be a philosophy and not a religion. That is because in most religions the believers say that one has to do good things, that a person must do this and that they have to do that. However when it comes to actual practise you can't see it. This is not the case in an Alevi society where one must practise what one
