400level student of philosophy.Niger delta university,Currently writing my project on plato's notion of philosopher king and nigerian leaders.A comparative analysis.
The truth is,Let philosophers be made kings and Queens.
In the debate concerning the Elimination of metaphysics.I concur with A.J Ayer.
Many reasons why people are running away from philosophy is because of metaphysics.The world needs help now especially african countries.We are facing a lot of problems that are begging for solutions.People are dying of hunger,the economic is bad,our educational system is going down day by day,the high rate of teenage pregnacies,bad leadership in our political system e.t.c.
Let us suspend metaphysics for now.

suspend metaphysics?

Toward solving all what you posted up there sir, it will still boil down to metaphysical enquiry sir. I LOVE THAT PROJECT topic of yours sir.


however can i get your contact sir?

Justify the proposition that logic is enfolded in the fact and unfolded in the mind.


Someone should help me out with this pls

Aristotle in his famous saying puts it that 'BEING QUA BEING' meaning Being is being or Being for being. Also the Great existentialist, Martin Heidegger said Being is a thing into death, meaning existence of a being is also a movement towards it's death therefore Being is nothing.

Going from the authorities above, Being is a metaphysical entity that moves in a vicious circle of empty and void purpose. Being is what most see as the essence of existence but this is wrong. I see being in the same light Heidegger sees it. As something that is nothing, that is continually moving towards emptiness.

Since being doesn't have essence on it's own with other things defining him, then Being is JUST nothing. For example, if a child is born today, that child is still a being but what begins to define his beingness is essence and what are these essence? The name he will be given,the language and culture he will learn to give him an identity, the educational line he will toll to make him know things because he came to the world not knowing. So being is actually nothing until these things starts defining him which is the essence. And as the Existentialists will put it "existence precede essence"
This means that for a being to be important, he must exist first before having essence, that he cannot have essence without existing. So the main attribute of a Being is that it must exist. A wood is a being according to my postulation. Humans are beings, cars are beings. All of these are beings because they exist in reality and they all have no purpose without essence, something to give it meaning.

The difference between Humans and Trees or cars under the concept of Beingness, is what Existentialists categorize as Being and being (big Being and small being). This is a discourse for Other day

What questions are we trashing..

signing in as sainthephzibah.
Do Philosophical hypothesis accept religious thesis?
E.g in the above question someone asked what is the essence of man on earth when he will die latter. Assuming i was to adumbrate on this, will religious ideologies (probably Christian Doctrines)be allowed for me to use to prove my point?

No sir.

you'd first need to argue for the position that these religious ideologies you intend using are true or really plausible, from there, you can then move on to make your assertions about the essence of man on earth.
In short, a 'religious thesis' rationally analyzed is no more a religious thesis (since it'd no more be dogmatically believed with FAITH but by rational justification).
This thread is becoming really dry!

Good question there.....
Firstly, you must understand that philosophical precepts and notions would not align properly with religious ideologies, as the latter is based on faith of some sort. Like the previous poster said, you would need to advance an argument for the religious concepts you intend to employ in your defense of any argument you might bring for the essence of man on earth and rationalize them before they would be philosophically sound. Now, this is where there may be gray areas, as religion is not rational, rather its based on faith.( which might as well include assumptions)

With the foregoing, we can agree that the true answer to your question wouldn't stem from religious ideologies....

However, I'd like to hear your views on the subject topic...... so we could rouse a discourse....

Cheers.

Thank You. Jesus is the Lord of the signature.

since philosophy and faith based Religion are in contradiction as the former bases on rational thinking while the latter is strictly pre-disposed towards Faith.
How do you combine this your profession with your personal doctrine and devotion to God?

St Ansalem, the medieval philosopher said "credo ut intelligam" ( I believe that I may understand). Christianity helps understand these things. To know Jesus is to know Light. That Light is beyond the understanding of mere men.

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Colossians 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
