“The problems of philosophy and the systems designed to solve them are formulated in terms which tend to refer, not to the realm of actuality, but to the realms of possibility and necessity: to what might be and what must be, rather than to what is.” PhilosophyProblemMightTermPossibilitySolveRealmsActualityRealm Of Possibility Book:From Descartes to Wittgenstein: a short history of modern philosophy Source: From Descartes to Wittgenstein: a short history of modern philosophy
“Philosophy is the science of estimating values. The superiority of any state or substance over another is determined by philosophy. By assigning a position of primary importance to what remains when all that is secondary has been removed, philosophy thus becomes the true index of priority or emphasis in the realm of speculative thought.” Has BeensStatesPhilosophyValuesPositionImportanceRemainsDeterminedPrioritiesPrimariesSubstanceRealmsSuperiorityEmphasisEstimating Author:Manly Hall
“Obsessive use of meditative disciplines or perennial study of scripture and philosophy will never bring forth this wonderful realization, this truth which is natural to awareness, because the mind that desperately desires to reach another realm or level of experience inadvertently ignores the basic light that constitutes all experience.” MindPhilosophyUseLightDesireNaturalLevelsStudyWonderfulAwarenessDisciplineScriptureRealizationRealmsObsessive Author:Tilopa
“Where philosophy ends, poetry must commence. There should not be a common point of view, a natural manner of thinking which standsin contrast to art and liberal education, or mere living; that is, one should not conceive of a realm of crudeness beyond the boundaries of education. Every conscious link of an organism should not perceive its limits without a feeling for its unity in relation to the whole. For example, philosophy should not only be contrasted to non-philosophy, but also to poetry.” ThinkingShouldArtEndsPhilosophyWholeFeelingsPoetryNaturalViewsCommonExamplePoetLimitsConsciousRelationPhilosophicalUnityMerePoint Of ViewBoundariesPerceiveRealmsLinksContrastOrganismsLiberal Education Author:Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

“What we're starting to see is a quantum biology, it being applied in biology and cosmology and a host of other sciences, because it does really pertain to how we know. It really helps bring epistemology, which is how do we know what we know, out of the realm of philosophy and brings it into the realm of science.” KnowsDoePhilosophyHelpingStartingRealmsBiologyHostQuantumCosmologyEpistemology Author:Edgar Mitchell
“I guess what attracted me about the philosophy aspect was that it was realistic. It didn't go off into the realm of imagination land, which I find a lot of religious teachings, actually almost every religious teaching does. I keep meaning to write this up as a blog post, but lately, while driving in my car I've been listening to a religious station that comes on out of Cleveland from the Moody Bible Institute.” WritingDoePhilosophyImaginationReligiousTeachingLandCarListeningAspectDrivingPostsRealmsStationsRealisticBlogsInstituteClevelandMoody Author:Brad Warner

“For a very long time science and philosophy were considered part of the same continuum and it was only within the last few hundred years they've been considered different areas of inquiry, and now we're starting to go back to the idea that maybe they aren't two separate realms of inquiry.” YearsLongTwoIdeasDifferentPhilosophyLastsLong TimeHundredAreasStartingRealmsInquiryContinuumScience And Philosophy Author:Brad Warner
