nothingness is possible?


well I think that nothingness is not possible because when we talk about nothingness we are giving it a meaning and talking about something so that nothingness stops existing because we have change that, we have already make it something.

but since another point of view nothingness is possible because for me there most be nothingness but I dont know how to explain it. for example there can be nothingness of an specific object because if you are searching for something but you cant find it and there are other things there is nothing or cero things that you were looking for.

I think that nothingness the absolut concept is possible when we dont give it a meathing or we dont have any knowledge of it but most of the times that doesnt happend beacause we are used to find the meaning of thing or think about them.

So since my point of view nothingnees cant be possible if we think about because we transform it in something but it can be possible if we dont have any knowledge of it and we dont give it any meaning

nothing is t he absence of anything.... complicate topic!

dance...


well dancing is the art that I like the most. I think that is unique because it is like the body express it self by a different language, it is an art that helps you expressing your feelings and emotions.

dance also involves history because it was a way for the earliest civilizations to tell stories down from generation to generation, it involves culture and a lot of other things.

I also like the art of dance because because it is way for people to entertain them selfs with the rhythm of the music and the movements of their bodies.

dance for me is the only art were the material to do it is our selfs, we are the ones that reprsent the peace of art so it is made of as.

Once Socrates said:

" music and dance are arts that complement each other, they form beauty and streght that are that bases of the human happiness"

Well this is a beautiful frase because I think that that is true music and dance are very important facts in our lifes.

ding an sich of a meaning.


I think that the ding an sich of a meaning is the relationship with the object or the thing that you want to say what it means. Is the creation that makes your mind. This involves what you think of the object and all the relations you make with your experiences to make up a meaning.
When you need to explain something or give a meaning to a word you start thinking in way to represent something or give the word any sence well that is the ding an sich of a meaning, is the way you let your mind stabish conections and relationships with the word you want to define.
The meaning of thing always changes because it depends on the point of view of each person also in the things you have learn and the experiences you have had so if we want to know what is the ding an sich of a meaning we can say that it can always change, but it always have like a base that is the relationship with the things you want to represent.

is sanity power?


I think sanity is a way to get power, because now days the society just accept people that is sane so being that way (normal) you can get power. But when you get much power you can become crazy or an insane person because your mind ask for more power and you start accting in a weird way.
there are a lot of poeple that have become insane when they have power because they don't know how to act or what to do with it.
Power is something that a lot of people can't handel because it means worries, lots of money and of course a totaly different kind of life, this change of life style it's what makes people insane because people isn't ready to change drastically.

neurosis...


Well a neurosis is what makes you feel unconfortable or angry, well I think that my neurosis is when people say hi with a kiss but that kiss does not have any sound, I think it sounds stupid but it really makes me mad. It is like that person is angry with you or he/she doesn't want to say hello.
When people do this I dont say hi to them any more.
I think that this is my neurosis because my mom tought me that fake people is bad, this is why I relate this neurosis with my mom.

socialism or capitalism?


To decide between the capitalism and the socialism we have to take in count all the characteristics of the society. On my point of view socialism is in theory the perfect system to organize the society, but it doesen't work because people are bad so in most of the cases it wouldn't be fair for a lot of people to use this system, so I am going to defend capitalism. Capitalism is a way for people to decide what they are going to do with their lives, this system gives people the opportunity to decide between work hard and have a good life or not do anything and be poor. With this system people can be free and take their choise between having a good or bad life. I think that capitalism could work perfectly if the people that have all the money or capital give the chance to the other people to work and earn their money, it would be fair because everybody would be working for their money and it wouldnt be a desbalance of money, and if it is it woudn't be the system fault, it would be the people fault because they don't want to work and that is their choise. So I defend capitalism because I think that people should earn what they want by the work the¡at they have done. This system is fair for everybody because you have what you've earn.

Matter or psyque?


Well, are we matter or psyque? I think that we can say that we are psyque and matter because we are what we think and express, and our body is the way we can do it. To explain this in a better way we must talk about the ding an sich or in other words "the thing it self".

The ding an sich is what makes something that "thing", so if we talk about objects we can say that the ding an sich is not the matter, instead, are the thing that had happened with the object or the memories that we have of it, for me it is the same for human beings, we are most of the time what our minds had created, like the way we talk or treat people, how we act and how we express our selfs, but we also need our boby, for example, if you take of a part of our body we will still being humans because our thoughts haven't change, the way we are haven't change but our matter has and it is the way we communicate and are ourselfs it is the way we can express the way we are.

So to define if the human being is matter or psyque we can say that we are both them because they complement each other and without one of them we couldn't be human beings.

how something can be someone's property?


well there are a lot off ways something can be someones propoerty. First we can say that something belongs to someone because he or she has some kind of power over the thing, for example if I can decide about anything over the object it is mine because nobody can decide over something that is not of them. I think that this is the most important fact to own something. Another way we can explain something is someones property is talking about laws or in this case a paper or some kind of prove that shows that that thing is yours, an example can be a house, when you buy a house the last owners give you a lot off papers that say that that house is yours, with this example we can show the vality of the last explenation, now that we have the papers that say that the house is ours we can do alll the things we whant with it. This explanations i have give you most of the times can be aplied but in some cases they are not, for example if your parents buy you something and they give it to you " IT IS YOURS " but really it isn't because you dont have complete power over it, your parents have it because they have power over you. So we can say that something can be someones property if he or she has copmplete power over it and noone else is envolved.

rationalism or empiricism??


In my opinion if I had to decide between rationalism or empiricism I would decide rationalism because I trust more in my mind than in my sences but both of these philosophical beliefs are "true", because in the case of empiricism we can say that we built our hole life based in our experiences and without them we are nothing, but in the case of rationalism like Descartes said "I think therefor I exist". On my point of view either of them are false, they only have different views about the world and how we can understand it. For me it depends on the person to choose how to see the world. To explain why I choose rationalism I have to explain what rationalism is: it is the beleif that reason and logic are tha primary sources of knowledge and truth. Well for me logic is the only thing that can guide us to the true so to know why i'm here I have to trust in my mind and not in my sences.

Rene Descartes


how can we be shure of our existence? Well descartes the father of the modern philosophy asked him selve the same question along time ago. According to his thoughts the only way of being shure of our existence is trusting in our minds that reason but not in our sences because most of the times they fail us, he was tha one that said the frase ' I think therefor I exist '. This frase has has causes a lot of controversy with many other philosophers like Francis Bacon that was against the rationalism and in favor of the empiricism.
Rene Descartes is now one of the most famous philosophers because of his theory or thought about rationalism. One of his thougts is that everything in the world is mechanicaly and mathematicaly understandable, one example of this is the 'plano carteciano', throught this method we can mathematicaly say were things are.
There is another thougth of Descartes that tell us that the world is diveded in two parts the once that material and the others that are the substances, according to him substances are an extencion of god and and the material things that are the once that work mechanicaly.
In conclusion my point of veiw Descartes is that he was a brilliant person and I agree with him on his point of view of sences, any time they can fail us.

idols of the mind...


well the idols of the mind according to Francis Bacon are sistematic errors of our minds, they are bad habits of our minds that interfir with our logic. there are four idols:
idols of the tribe
idols of the cave
idols of the marketplace
and idols of the theatre
an example of an idol of the marketplace can be something that happend to me, once I was looking the hair of a blond friend I have and i said: oh this hair is like a gray hair but black... when i say it for me it had sence because she is blond and there was a black hair on her head but later i realize that the thing I said was estupid because if it is black it can't be a gray hair.

how was gods adressed in the middle ages?


well in the middle ages the idea of god had to be concibible in our mind, god existences was the only fact that had to be truth, it didn't matter the fact that they didn't had any proof of his existence because they follow the dogma and they had faith on it. in the middle ages god was so important that people tried to learn from him by talking with him througth prays becuase for them god was omnipresent.

in that time people believe this because the church had a lot of influence on them, if the church said that god is this or that the people believe in this so most of the times church uses god as a way of manipulating people in some way.
god was so important in this period of time because people wanted to get some answers and the only way they could do it was by talking to god by a languaje to adress god.

i think that people in the middle ages had so much faith because of the influence of the church and the idea of, that has to be something else, so it had to be god. i think that another fact that influence them was the society of that time.

what makes people follow a 10 years old kid thinking about god and creation

well the video of the predicator kid is one of those videos that show us how far can people go with their belives, I think that in this video we can see the fanatism of a group of people that follows a religion and makes their kids do the same thing. For me the people that apploud to the kid that is saying all this thing about god and creation are people that is very close, that can't accept new thoughts, is people that just live for making shure that thier religion is the only one that can exist.
the only thing I can say about this video is that sometimes people wants to show what is the truth by making some stupid things like this speech, for me the kid that was talking didn't know what he was saying he just just get influenced by his parents and he made what they told him to do.
We can can say that there are different pointS of view about this controversial topic that talks about god and creation but for me this video goes to far, it is anrealistic, it's something that for me just do not make sence. The question is: what makes people follow a 10 years old kid thinking about god and creation? well i can't answer it, for me is just irrational that people can follow things like that, I hope that there are not a lot of people that think as the same way because if there are, I don't know were are we going. In conclution I think that this video was just make to have fun and watch how far people can go with their believes.

aristotle


Well to talk about aristotle we have to say that he was one of the greatest philosophers of all times such as plato and socrates, these three gay were the ones that began to see the world in a different way. aristotle was the rationalist, he always talk about the human being as a "something" that have a soul that said the body what to do or it feelings and the body that is the one that express what the soul wants to say, for him the soul could life when the body dies but it couldn't do anything. For me aristotle was right when he said that the body and the soul complement each other because to me the body is just something "material" whithout the soul and the soul is nothing whithout the body. another thing that aristotle argues about is the fact ofthe polis and the citizen, for him the polis that is the group of citizens always makes the best conditions were the citizen can live. For him it was like the humans were the animals that depend on the polis, he worries about how things work and how they relate with each other theres were we enter in the observation of aristotle about ethics and eudamonia. eudamonia are the good things things of the human being the virtues that he or she have. So for aristotle we need a common good were our ethics our moral and the polis comes together so we can live the best we can. In conclusion i must say that for me our soul is the most important thing of a human being, that our ethics are the things that makes as have a good life in the society we live in and that the things that were said in ancient greece with these three philosophers are still talk about in these times.

is the soul a product of the body functions?


Is the soul a product of the body functions? well for aristotle and most of the people it isn't because the soul is like the most important part of human beings, to explain this we can say that the suol is the one that tell's the body how to act or in other words how to express your feelings and emotions like anger sadness etc. For aristotle the soul is natural body that only can act with the help of the body but also the soul can life without the body but it can't express.another point of view is the one from plato that is similar to the thaught of aristotle, he said that the soul is something immaterial independent of the body and capable of surviving it's death, so for aristotle and plato the soul is not a product of the body functions it is the opposite the body functions are the product of the soul. In conclution the soul and the body complement each other.
Well now days we can't say that the soul is what we are because it's became something that is related to religion and god so the people has change it terms or meaning so they can reach the thing that the church say and what god neads. For me our soul is the thing that makes us alive and it represent what we are throught our body. Our soul is something that we can't see but we can feel inside us and it think feels for us, so we can say that we need a body and a soul so we can be a complete and funtional human being.

Plato


When socrates died he had a lot of disipults, one of them was Plato. Plato explain in his writings the significance of Socrates philosophies. Plato also questioned the dinamics of reality and this is the fact that makes him so controvertial today.
I think that plato´s thaughts are still mentioned because he speaks about the reality of the world and all the lies and truths about it.
On another point of veiw I think that what plato said is very interesting and also confusing because he thaught that an idea is the perfect essence of a thing so in other words he said that everything that is real is also truth and beauty.
Plato was the first rationalist, this means that the only thing that mattered for him was reason. This is very good because he always wanted everything to have an explenation or know what is true or false.
For example art was about recreating nature so it is a doble fallacy because you are recreating something that is not truth.
In conclution for me plato was a person that wanted to know a lot about the world, the mind and the reality therfor he created a world that is called the hyperurano ( the world of ideas) in other words the truth that is reflected in our world.
