When we’ve figured out how to figure things out, that’s science. When we haven’t yet
figured out how to figure things out, that’s philosophy. Science is what you know,
philosophy is what you don't know. Science is great for answering “How?” questions,
but it is totally useless when it comes to answering “Why?” questions. Philosophy
contemplates the mind. Science seeks for evidence. Which in no way demeans
philosophy. Everything starts out as philosophy.
In today’s terms, we live in a reality where there are more answers than questions;
more solutions than problems. Philosophy in today’s terms might be usefully seen as
the search for the right questions - the ones worth asking now that everyone has all
the answers at their fingertips.
Philosophy deals with study of “Nature, Universe” & knowledge of all that happens
around humanity, specifically subjective matters like feelings, emotions, behavior,
faith, ideologies & all problems, which cannot be handled by science, but lacks
scientific evidence & relies on reflection of thoughts & not on experiment. It relies on
a sort of logical reasoning & not on empirical support of evidence to support their
argument.
Truth is the only measure in philosophy. The examination of truth should be unbiased
and objective and if the truth hurts, then so be it! As contemporary philosopher John
N. Gray says, “If for the most part, philosophers have rarely considered that truth may
not bring happiness, it is because truth has rarely been of first importance to them.”
Wisdom is an ability to think, understand and interpret issues at a much higher level
in a holistic way considering simultaneous presence of multiple domains . Wisdom is
the experience, knowledge that we achieve and how we develop our-self taking it a
positive and a correct way. No doubt life is hard and struggle is real but you need to
see the sublime of everything. We should be always inundate what we have achieve
and what we will more. Everybody has to do their karma and it has to dealt in that
similar way.
If one can avoid rage, greediness, miser even in the hardest of the time then only
he/she will the fruit of becoming wise. We are all players in the stage of the god we
will come and do our work it is the responsibility of the supreme to punish of the all
the wrong doers. Just smile and move on with your life.
Socrates devoted his whole life in teaching people how to be virtue (shaping of all
the fundamental characteristics of a person). He believed for one to be virtuous, s/he
has to possesses not one but all five of these characteristics: Truth, Courage, Justice,
Wisdom, Happiness.
Socrates did not disparage nature studies, or “natural philosophy,” but that was not
his main interest. He also did not take money to teach “wisdom,” as some of the
Sophists, or the “wise ones” did.
For Socrates, “Wisdom” consists in seeking truth and virtue. Seeking truth and virtue
presupposes an awareness of one’s ignorance and limits, but, Socrates said, “The
unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates was mainly interested in human values
and the development of moral character. He questioned what many of his fellow
Athenians took for granted. He was a seeker of wisdom.
He used the Socratic Method (ask question but give no answer) to help the people of
Athens become virtuous. He went around the city and asked questions to those who
is in power (i.e. priest, army generals, etc.). His goal was to keep asking question until
they run out of subjective truth (your own opinion) to get the objective truth (the
universe truth). Those people who were in power were afraid of Socrates because of
this, he made a lot of powerful enemies, which led to his death (execution).
He also has three fundamental rules that made him one of the most well-known
philosopher:
1) He said no “thy-self”. (know who you are)
2) The unexamined life is not worth living. (question everything all the time)
3) All I know is that I don’t know anything for certain. (don’t think you have all the
answers).
He sought the basic definitions or “essences” of:
a) Political values, like “Justice”
b) Aesthetic values, like “Beauty,” and he encouraged,
c) Personal values, like “Integrity,” and “the improvement of the soul.”
Socrates was charged with two crimes: (1) impiety, or atheism (not believing in the
gods of the state of Athens),and (2) corrupting the youth (encouraging youths, like
Plato, to question basic beliefs too)
He was found guilty and sentenced to die by drinking poison hemlock. Plato, who
was at his trial, wrote the APOLOGY, which records the proceedings of the trial of
Socrates.
He also has three fundamental rules that made him one of the most well-known
philosopher:
1) He said no “thy-self”. (know who you are)
2) The unexamined life is not worth living. (question everything all the time)
3) All I know is that I don’t know anything for certain. (don’t think you have all the
