Philosophy
the class of the past Monday was about, what is philosophy, what represents, some characteristics, were comes and what means the word philosophy, and what represents.
The history actually starts when the writing appear, then we can know what happens, how it happens, where it happens, why it happens etc.
The word philosophy was created by Socrates in Greece in the V B.C century, philosophy is the union of two words in Latin, Philos: love and Sophia: knowledge.
•Philosophy has some characteristics:
•Is not something that has existed
•Does not care about the truth
•Create problems
•Everybody is related to philosophy because philosophy is thinking and everybody thinks (even the drug addicts)
This last one is very important because every single person thinks even if it don´t seems, since the most insignificant thought like, “I like chocolate because is sweet” to a more complex thought like “I think because I exist” (Cogito ergo sum, René Descartes) so every single person creates different problems and then solve them.
I like the fact that as Carolina Velasco said: "philosophy will exist as long as humans exist" because we never will find the solution of all our problems because philosophy establishes problems and then we can grow as specie because our natural curiosity and our constant desire of knowledge. Philosophy give means to problems, it Sais how con we solve it and there for we can expand our knowledge through the different types of sciences like physics, chemistry etc .the philosophy is the human invention to have the option of new problems and there for we can have more information and we can try to satisfy our desire of more.
