Would you consider philosophy to be dead and well buried?
If philosophy is meant to search for truth since it literally means searcher, or seeker, brother of wisdom, in Greek., then what is truth, reality, wisdom?
What is really truth and reality,and what is wisdom? Unless you know by a Brahamatic revelation or a Buddhist illumination, the door is left open. Even if you happen to be an illuminenlightened Buddhist or even a Sufi withfrequent escapades into the divinity, or even a lonely and solitaire,asceticyou may find it very difficult to explain truth, reality and wisdom.
If wisdom is to know thyself', and nothing too much', as it is inscribedabove the entrance of Temple of Delphi in the Olympus mountain, then who can claim to such knowledge. Not even Socrates was able to identify himself. He claimed ignorance to knowledge in order to reconstitute knowledge and whereby you can climb out of your dark cave. But if Socrates could not do it, who are you to do it?
In reality it is very simple. Look at yourself in the mirror and you will see an image of something. A Being! Not a down right cockroach, but similarities are not to be waved aside. A rat! Or a mice! For ladies? It could be! Why not? What differences does it make. We are all creatures, unless you claim the patent right to your own self-invention! Hard to do it alone. You must be a God to do it! Otherwise your atoms will continue floating in the air as a sign of your incapacity to make what you see in the mirror.
You must have lived some few millions of years before to ordain the show!
But, seriously speaking, Who is this form and shape, aan color, you happen to be looking at? Think, before you answer, to be wise enough that is.
Who are you, a trunk, a head and four limbs, two upper ones and two lower ones. Anthropologists call this thing you watch a human being belonging to the human species. Very funny!
You still cannot recognize yourself? But compared with other rats and mice , like yourself, you might find some similarities and some differences. In evil doing and being rotten to each other, and especially others, we are all similar. In denying the power that assembled our atoms together we are absolute ungrateful bastards.
We are creatures like all other creatures. Have to be what we are, have to breathe oxygen otherwise your miserable species perishes. We all have to eat and drink and sleep like all other insects, specially worms. We are made up from the same stuff, a clever sperm and an attractive ovule. Then the operation of evolving into a human, or most of the time inhuman monster, like world leaders, their police force and their stupid state machines, begins immediately and without any delay.
You realize how insufficient as you really are to contribute one little thing to your development. Your cells are programmed to develop into your beautiful shape and form. Even the color of your eyes are already decided for you. Genetic charters? But don't be silly, there ought to be an architect-engineer to built it up so you come at the end, as in a pig factory, a sausage of your own type.
Not to worry, the difference between you and sausages is that sausages can be eaten and enjoyed and you should not be eaten, with exceptions of Zulu Practices, where Obama comes directly from, as a respectable descendant.
You still did not tell me who you are! And lesser still. inform us all, with your abundant wisdom, about truth and reality!
