The Skeptical Philosopher

Feb 13, 2006 00:09


Philosophy taught us never to be skeptical. Everything is a possible, even the most bizarre of events. A good philosopher always know how to ask why things happen, going with his logic, as well as speculating on the possibilities. That is what the philosopher does best: to ponder on things that might or might not be. As the time grows and the human understanding expands, thinkers usually incline more to whats real, what is logical, and what is 'true'. Did this so called 'modernity' turned the philosophers, or just the plain thinker, to skeptics? Do the thinks that the children would often fantasize about, just remain as fantasies? Did logic and reasoning became so hyped that people forgot to speculate?

Pondering these things, made me realize, how hard it is for humans to explore the things unexplored. Skeptics who stick to reason, will always disagree on the theories and speculation of the true philosophers might think of next. Discovery would be harder, now that more and more skeptics would get in the way. What is the future of mankind if discovery would stop? Imagine pre-history with skepticsm. Would anybody discover the wheel and fire?

This skeptical philosopher, though he thinks he is the truth because he stuck to reason, is why the thought of mankind is deteriorating. As life gets more and more complex, and thinking of the would-be's will be the least of the problems, what is left for philosophy and speculation? We might as well go back to our caves.

Anyway,

Johari anyone?
