Philosophy Is Dead

@existential-belch

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. In more casual speech, by extension, "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group". -http://fyp-philosophy.tumblr.com

No matter how honestly you open up to someone, there are still things you cannot reveal.

Haruki Murakami (via meersympathie)

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Oscar Wilde (via henretta84)

wordsnquotes

That’s why I’m talking to you. You are one of the rare people who can separate your observation from your preconception. You see what is, where most people see what they expect.

John Steinbeck, East of Eden (via wordsnquotes)

If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other more gently, with more love, tolerance and care.

Marvin J. Ashton (via wordsnquotes)

I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.

Jorge Luis Borges (via wordsnquotes)

I think you’ve mistaken naive realism. Our experiences are based on our perceptions which are data input from the world around us. How much that data objectively describes the world (and more accurately doesn’t) is irrelevant to the question of how those perceptions affect us. We are...

When you come back you will not be you. And I may not be I.

All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.

Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea (via wordsnquotes)

dailynietzsche

“Morality and religion can be exhaustively accounted for by the psychology of error. In every single case, cause and effect are confused, truth is confused with the effects of believing that something is true, or a state of consciousness is confused with its causes.”

—F. Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, “The Four Great Errors,” §6 (excerpt).

Space is a necessary a priori representation which underlies all outer intuitions. It is impossible to have a representation of there being no space, though one can very well think of space without objects to fill it.

Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, Translated and Edited by: Marcus Weigelt, (London: the Penguin Group, 2007), Transcendental Doctrine of Elements: Transcendental Aesthetic, Section I: Of Space, Metaphysical Exposition of this Concept, page 62

Women In Science - The Ancients

Aglaonike, 1st-2nd century Greece, Astronomer

People believed she was a sorceress for her ability to “cause the moon to disappear” - to predict lunar eclipses.

Mary The Jewess, 1st-3rd century Europe, Alchemist/Inventor

The first “true alchemist” of the Western world is credited with inventing various apparatuses to distill, collect, and refine chemicals. She may have discovered hydrochloric acid.

Merit-Ptah, 2700 BcE Egypt, Physician

She may be the first named woman in science. In ancient Egypt, she held the title of “Chief Physician” and her likeness is painted in the Valley of Kings.

Hypatia, 3rd-4th century Byzantium, Mathematician/Astronomer

The head of a Neoplatonic school at Alexandria, she “made such attainments in literature and science, as to far surpass all the philosophers of her own time.” She was caught between a feud between two prominent leaders and murdered by a Christian mob.

Agnodice, 4th century BCE Athens, Physician/Midwife

Athenian leaders banned women from working in medicine after discovering midwives were being performing abortions. She cut her hair to continue her practice and later left for Egypt to continue her training.

philosophy-quotes

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

Bertrand Russell (via philosophy-quotes)
