Recently I found my passion for reading again. Indeed, I have never lost my passion for reading before, but this time my passion for reading is getting more passionate. Maybe because it requires an escape from the dizzying proposal seminar.
As from last Friday to this Wednesday, January 19, I have already exhausted three books. A passion for reading that is quite proud at least for me. These three books are not light novels, but philosophy books that require a little bit of thought. Again I fell in love with philosophy.
Philosophy has never lost interest from me. When walking in a bookstore, when I see a philosophy book, my eyes will invite me to dance to just read the titles and recommendations of other readers that are on the back of the book. Even though I'm a psychology student, there are more philosophical books in my room on the shelves than psychology.
The majority of these books are about the philosophy of religion which interests my reading. Philosophy is divided into several branches such as political philosophy, natural philosophy, religious philosophy, moral philosophy, art philosophy, and so on. It is difficult to define philosophy because almost all philosophers have their definitions of philosophy.
Most people think that understanding philosophy is a futile act. Philosophy is considered an outdated object that is ancient and does not function in the face of the greatness of modern science which is aided by its technology. Understanding philosophy also yields nothing to their words, there is no field of work available to philosophers.
Philosophy is the enemy of religion. Makes human reasoning wild so that they dare to penetrate the doctrinal spaces that are forbidden by religion to think about. Philosophy is an imaginary science. Too far away for human reason and of no use for modern life. Philosophy is an empty verbalism because it only contains arguments or beautiful play on words to hypnotize people to believe.
Yes, that's what they say about philosophy. Humans are mostly boring. Humans are mostly adherents of popular culture who are only able to follow trends that are born from low culture. A low culture that constructs a culture of shallow thinking so that it is so active and strict about appearance. No wonder many men are enlarging their body muscles to attract women. And vice versa, women dress openly to attract men.
They only pay attention to visible things (materialist). Adam prioritizes to grow the muscles of the body and not the brain. Women try to have big breasts and not brains. They are proud of themselves if they have sex that is bigger than their friends. I don't understand where this kind of superficial culture was adopted. Why do women dress openly? Wouldn't it be more interesting if they had an open mind?
I think they need philosophy to get a little enlightened. They need a little bit of brainwork to be a little human. I thought am I too selfish if I want them all to think? Is that only their level of thinking? Take pride in wearing expensive brands that stick to him. Prestige he said. It seems like I am too selfish if I force everyone to be the same as me.
They make fun of the villagers who use charms to make them feel confident. "Musyrik" they say. Whereas the basic logic is almost the same as the metrosexual urban people who like to buy expensive things. They also need these expensive items to make themselves confident. The self-confidence of these two different groups of people is obtained from items outside of themselves, even though one is from amulets and one is from clothes, for example. The basic logic fits.
Their lifestyle seemed to have no meaning. They are forced to work hard to find money, which in turn is used to buy goods that are considered to be able to maintain their existence in society. How can their lives be organized without awareness? This is where philosophy comes in.
When people are familiar with philosophy, they will get used to thinking critically. He will question everything for a satisfying answer. That is the nature of philosophy, it will not stop as long as the world has not stopped. In philosophy, an answer will not find the final word because an answer will inevitably be slapped by the next question to find a deeper answer.
In the end, to quote the great Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, there must be a first cause from which all that exists originates and that cause must exist absolutely. This is the last answer that philosophy can offer. Yes, in the end, the philosophy that is known to be wild and daring to penetrate religious spaces also returns the answer to a question to God.
So, who says if philosophy is against religion? Both of them return the absolute answer to God. This bad stigma of philosophy must be immediately eliminated because the urgency of philosophy is very high to make the younger generation use their thinking a little to become human. Not only immersed in a sea of materialism that misleads humanity.
Philosophy is indeed an abstract thing. It is beyond the sensory dimension. Philosophy is not on a sensory level, it is at a level where the differences between humans and animals are so real. Yes, philosophical truth resides in the human head. Especially the pre-frontal cortex which regulates parts of humanity such as logic, decision making, considering meaning, and all kinds of human advantages that distinguish it from animals.
Again, philosophy made me fall in love. For me, philosophy is a medium to help the brain think more critically. Philosophy is a science about asking questions and finding answers radically and comprehensively. Hopefully, my immersion in philosophy does not make me run away from the side of humanity which is inherently embedded in the human soul.
