| Question: Help getting started with a paper on Sartre.? Posted: 27 Apr 2015 10:31 AM PDT "Describe a day in your life as if you had lived it intentionally as an adherent of Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist philosophy." I'm stuck getting started. How can I do this with just one day in the life? Obviously, it will be about choices and hurling oneself forward, but my life is boring and consists of school and work. What additions, Sartre-like, could be made?  |

| Question: What career options could you take with a degree on Philosophy? Posted: 27 Apr 2015 10:08 AM PDT My close friend did a law degree with an undergraduate degree in Philosophy. He is now a tax lawyer for a big multinational company. There is no reason why you couldn't do an MBA with a Philosophy degree. But there are many more options than just that. You don't need to go to graduate school unless you want to. Businesses should see the value in critical thinking skills that go along with formal philosophy. But there's the rub, what businesses ought to do and what they do do are not always one in the same. The business world is in great need of more ethics (a branch of philosophy). We need more people with compassion and reasoning skills in the business world but the business world doesn't necessarily want that. Though some may. There are many people who will say a philosophy degree is useless, especially in business, but don't listen to them. Follow your own vision and then get out there in the real world and do stuff. Be the change you want to see in the world (that is if you see any need for change in the way we do business). Basically with a philosophy degree you can do anything you want to do. It's more about leading than following. |
| Question: Does loving yourself require a big ego? How do I practice mindfulness if I have a big ego? Posted: 27 Apr 2015 10:02 AM PDT Unfortunately new age "philosophy" misrepresents what the "Ego" actually means, according to it's origins.... Freud labeled the Ego the balancing point in each individual between what they desire on a primitive base instinctive level, and how to compromise and co-exist with other people. The Ego is the balancing point between the two scales of; desire (the "id"), and morals (the "Superego", usually taught by parents and learnt by the individual during childhood) What I'm steadily trying to get at is, the Ego, according to Freud who was the progenitor of the concept of the ego, is the most vital part of our persona. It communicates between what we desire, for e.g, sex, love, revenge, recognition etc, and what we hold as ideal moral standards to live up to, for e.g, being a kind person, being a successful person, being a financially secure person. The ego says, "How can I get what I desire whilst remaining true to my morals and what society expects of me?" Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if you didn't have an ego, you would either be a psychopath (someone who lives totally by their "id", their primitive desires etc due to it being completely unchecked by their "Ego") or you would be completely neurotic (someone who has an unhealthy extreme amount of guilt and self punishment for perceived immoral self acts etc due to their "Superego" being unchecked by their "Ego") To me, being mindful is seeking truth. All the new age stuff about constantly "being in the moment" is total and utter bs. If we just lived in the moment all the time, we would be like animals, and we would do things like s h it in the middle of the street in front of everyone because we felt like it, and we would not get anything practical and necessary for survival done. So, don't worry about it. Just be yourself. Might be helpful: http://www.simplypsychology.org/psyche.h... |
| Question: What is Enlightenment according to Immanuel Kant? What is his argument? Posted: 27 Apr 2015 09:07 AM PDT Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!"- that is the motto of enlightenment. I have a hard time understanding this , what is the main argument? What is he talking about? |
