Welcome to the "Philosophy Blog"!

【do you remember？】

Do you still remember the "question" that everyone had once asked when they were children?

"What is the world?" "Who am I?" "Why am I here now?"

Many people thought, including you.

Humans have been searching for this answer since ancient times, thousands of years before Christ.

This question is the beginning of "philosophy", and the answer can be said to be the end of "philosophy".

And there is no answer. Humanity is still a child. Yes, you too.

Yet, humanity has learned and grown a lot. Modern civilization is built on discovering and applying the “laws” that govern this natural world. The miracle that the computer or smartphone in front of you is now connected to the world is one of them.

【philosophical identity】

What is the difference between philosophical thinking and other thinking, in other words, what is the identity of philosophical thinking?

When someone says "A is B", an objective reason "because" is attached to it, and the reason is consistent with "behavior of the natural world" is "philosophy" It can be said to be contemplation.

This is because “philosophy” is to explore what this natural world, including human activities, is.

【Philosophy, Science and Religion】

It is no exaggeration to say that all things called 'learning' are derived from 'philosophy'.

"Quantum mechanics", which is said to be the cutting edge of modern science, can also be traced back to "philosophy".

On the other hand, religion and mythology are different from "philosophy".

Religion and mythology may be in the same direction as "philosophy" in that they strive to explain "behavior of the natural world", but in general there is no "objective reason" explanation. There is a crucial difference with philosophy.

In other words, to put it a little rough, "religion and mythology" means "believing", and philosophy (science) means "understanding". And "understanding" can be confirmed by discovering something in the natural world.

In this blog, I would like to deliver to you the original brilliance of "philosophy", which has lost its presence.
