| Question: What earlier philosophies do you see influencing the existentialist? Posted: 27 Aug 2015 03:57 AM PDT Quote: "Existentialism (/ɛɡzɪˈstɛnʃəlɪzəm/) is a term applied to the work of certain late 19th- and 20th-century philosophers who, despite profound doctrinal differences, shared the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subject—not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual. In existentialism, the individual's starting point is characterised by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.

| Question: Is anything a possibility? Posted: 27 Aug 2015 12:03 AM PDT Probably not. The laws of physics seem to place at least some fundamental limits on what is and isn't possible. For instance, if the speed of light limit is true, then traveling faster than light is never going to be possible no matter what. If one wants to be pedantic, it's true that we have been wrong about exactly what the laws of physics are in the past, so I suppose you could say it's technically possible that our understanding of the laws of physics is wrong and hence things prohibited by them are in fact possible. While that's technically true, it's also very unlikely that all known laws of physics are totally wrong, so it's very unlikely that "anything is a possibility". |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2015 08:19 PM PDT Nothing happens in this world without any reason. It is for you to philosophize everything. Think, study, consider, examine, analyze or investigate it from different angles. It (point) may be hidden or subtle. Sometime it may be visible. Do we have to do this? Only if you cannot have some clarity of understanding, you may have to consult your own Mentor and seek clarifications.. |
