And who is a writer without an audience? Who is a philosopher that cannot relate his ideas? What is the point of philosophy that takes no cues from prudence? The realm of mans interaction in any endeavor, ENDS when we cannot interact with our study. Furthermore, if we are more sensitive to areas of thought that our fellow man cannot interact with... aren't we just building realities that no one else is sharing?
It is the human experience that I find interest in. As is the interest between all of our interaction, we dedicate all of our thinking in earnest pursuit of finding commonalities that include us in some "niche" of humanity. The poet describes reality with rhyme and verse, he is relaying his reality as all humans express themselves with language. Just as the lawyer pursues humanity in seeking justice, as all humans do. The artist portrays his soul just like the masses express themselves daily, in an attempt to gain recognition. Just as the philosopher describes human nature by asking questions that define, as all humans question themselves to gain knowledge. Just as the economist seeks to define human nature by looking for patterns of math we create in our behavior. Just as a capitolist seeks money as a means to power, we all desire personal growth. As an officer of the law or soldier chooses to use his life in the defense of others, he is describing the value of human life.
THIS is humanity, THIS is the truly universal experience that intrigues me. Human nature is the ultimate pursuit of wisdom, because it will always remain prudent.
Any other philisophical pursuit becomes intellectualism, or "wisdom without prudence" as it does not relate itself to humanity equally. There is absolutely no relevance in describing "Aesthetics" to anyone besides the poet or the artist, this is a reality that only they are connected to, at the penalty of excluding all others.
How does pursuing after philosophy of "Epistemology" (knowledge) apply itself to anyone but an educator, or perhaps an avid learner...?
The philosophy of logic (objective reasoning) applies itself towards anyone in a profession requiring such skills, but remains without use to anyone who chooses to view the world in more pleasent terms.
"Metaphysics" is a thoroughly hysterical field of study that has no real purpose. Metaphysics is logic applied to imagination, no one can relate to it in terms of language. People use metaphysics to define realities that they create, because who can argue with make beleive???
I place the study of morality and ethics in high regard, as it DOES apply itself to everyone equally. Right and wrong or at least from a naturalist viewpoint "empathy" is paramount towards describing the human condition.
And these are the sins of my brothers and sisters, who seek in pride to define away reality, so far and fast that they give everyone a sense of distaste. And in this exercising of pride they elevate themselves beyond interpretation. What is the value of such life?
Isn't it pride that encouraged us to shy away from the "competition fallacy" of our fellow man in the first place? And yet they all claim to have won the fools challenge (competition).They have placed themselves above competition in realms of "understanding". Because destroying some far fetched "ignorance" that no one else is even aware of... They have WON some undefinable prize. Pathetic.
yeah, this was really kewl
