Basic Western Philosophy

Francis Bacon once said,

In a long episode of humankind's journey, we humans have witnessed the extent to which the monuments of intelligence and knowledge that stem from human thoughts have reigned much longer than the monuments of power and strength of the hand. Are not Homeric literary sentences still able to survive for decades and even more without losing a word or a word or a letter when the magnificent palaces and thrones, religious temples, luxurious castles and big cities in history has experienced destruction and collapse?

This reminds me also of how Descartes' pledge became a methodical foundation in the world of philosophy at the dawn of modern Western rationalism:

Cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am

Humans really have to fight for their lives, empower their energies, and maximize their thoughts.

For some people, life is not always about faith and hope. But what is certain, humans must continue to exist until the time they return to the Owner of Life.

In the end, Western philosophy teaches people to think about what they want, use what they have and interpret what they live.

Immanuel Kant once asked a philosophical question about what and to what extent the limits of human ability.

Are humans able to survive in life by utilizing everything they have without direct or indirect help from something that is beyond their power?

This is what makes humans different from other creatures in this galaxy until now (as we know).

We can also analyze clearly and straightforwardly how Kant wanted to investigate the extent to which the power and limits of human reasoning ability in the fascination with science.

Living yesterday is the past, living in the future is the future and purpose, and living now is a gift.

Have you thought today?
