Does Philosophy have answers to All ?

Question

Does Philosophy have answers to All ?

Answer 1

nope...polls and surveys has..lol

Answer 2

No.

Philosophy is only the thinking approach that human relies on to explore the existing world and beyond.  Since human nature is not perfect, neither the tool, philosophy.  

Philosophy is a major tool for us to reason, it is not the book of all knowledge.  And philosophy is not always helpful in some areas, moral or religion for instance.  If it does, the world will be simple.   In addition, this tool could not help us to judge, as value judgment is on our own, not from the tool we use.

Philosophy is great for reasoning but not almighty for answers, we have to make our own judgments and choose the "correct" answers ourselves.

I hope this help !

Answer 3

...true philosophy admits to NOT having all the answers...for if it did, there would be no such thing as philosophy to begin with...why bother, if all could be answered through theory and speculation...it would become black and white...and philosophy is often very gray...

Answer 4

The love of wise dominion, "philosophy," has answers.

These vary according to the philosopher.

The validity of any philosophy depends on the axioms and postulates proposed by the philosopher.

Goedel, a 20th century logician and mathematician, proved that no system of reasoning (here reduced to mean sufficiently complex mathematical logic) has coherency of reasoning across all of its truths.  Some truths in any such philosophico-logical system are unprovable within that system.

So, a reasonable approach to reading philosophers is to a) know self b) know what unproven assumptions one is willing to accept as true c) find similar already-thinkers (philosophers) who will be guiding/doing some of your reasoning work for you.

At the conclusion of this process, you will find that your assumptions may even change.  This would normally not occur during one's learning of a particular assumptions' system of thinking, but more from changing one's original assumptions as to what is "self evidently true, a basis for further insight."

Nb:  most philosophers who move in the realm of trans-human mentation, i.e., those who acknowledge their encounter with the Divine, find some formulation both in terms of assumptions, and of logical reasoning, which is similar to Plotinus:  There is One Mind Soul-individuation, and, as Whitehead describes, there is based upon this Soul-individuation, Monadic-Dyadic-Triadic progress and building:  the Monadic "I Am" (Soul-individuation) may, via various philosophical and theological processes and intentions, move from One Mind Soul into physis, or Dyadic demonstration, per "project."  At the successful conclusion of this Dyadic (or, in theology, Son of God) phase, sublimation into/as the Triadic or Holy Spirit occurs.

For Husserl, this One Mind Soul-individuation, even as Monad-Dyad-Triad process, is Pure Ego; his concluding philosophic project was the intersubjective community of Monads, of Pure Ego; this is as the theological Communion of Saints, in which the Holy Christ Selves--those moments of Being in which "this Mind which was also in Christ Jesus abides"--properly interchange.

An author who moves between philosophy and theology while discussing such awareness, presenting it at an undergraduate level:  Mark Prophet, "The Path of the Higher Self."

Answer 14

it could

Answer 15

definitely not , wonderful Brather

Answer 16

Practical Philosophy begins where answers end, because there are issues where there are no single right answers and one needs to choose amongst multiple possibilities.

Answer 17

"Philosophy" in my opinion, is so "fun," because...

"Philosophy" itself is the "art of thinking about thinking," and...

Nobody has a "monopoly" on what the "correct way of thinking" is...

There are some very obvious "gray areas" in the realm of "philosophy," and I am one of those "brains" who get a real "electromagnetic high" from "thinking about thinking," because it DOES seem to be the...

"Ultimate Human Frontier" of scientific ponderings...

Answer 18

Heck no, My friends, contacts and I do.

Answer 19

Not at all...there are some questions in life for which they are no answers.

Answer 20

Philosophy had questions to All. Religion has answers to all, unfortunately they're wrong.

Answer 21

no....philosophy has questions to all.....religion thinks it has answers to all....but in reality we only know what we think we know. In the end there are only supposed answers and we'll never know until we die I guess and then maybe not even then.

Answer 22

Philosophy begins in wonders, that's why children used the "Ws" - Why, what, where questions to look for answers. Philosophy  seeks for the truth and the reality. It may give you answers but doesn;t stop there.... it will always seek for questions. And when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains. Another thing Socrates could have said that he knew, because all students of philosophy know it, is that wonder arrived at by philosophy is an enriched wonder, and one of the best possessions of the human spirit.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 23

No, P&S does... :)

Answer 24

Philosophy will likely never have answers to all. To think that way would be childish, however, philosophy may someday progress to a point where humans may have answers to many questions. At the moment, philosophy is nowhere near having answers to "all".

Answer 25

no

Answer 26

it doesn't even have the questions to all.

but it is searching for both.
