Philosophy in five easy pieces
by Peter Geselowitz for Lewey
Geselowitz in lieu of a completed essay
Constructing a
functional instinct-replacing
process of thought
piece 1 |
The foundations of a
thinking-structure starts with an overview of existence,
looks at the essentials
of what we know about the world, the axioms of existence, identity and
consciousness. |
piece 2 |
Develops truth-identifying theory
& process, epistemology,
to establish & prove how we know what we know. Sensations ' concepts ' to
logic, reason & hence truth,
extends the formulae for mental certainty. |
piece 3 |
Which lays
the groundwork for ethics ' deciding
what we want (values)
and need to do (virtues),
the good which carves
out our individuality & personality. |
piece 4 |
Brings us to
working out codes of
conduct, the rules & standards for dealing with & relating to everyone else (politics), defining what's
right, what's moral, just
(leads to peace, love, cooperation' civilization if done right). |
piece 5 |
Concretizing
the above four, the esthetics,
mirror to (or barometer), of how we're doing at life. The reward for personal success (or scolding), the
facts that are important
selected for our pleasure & contemplation. |
