My purpose

In the last post there was some concern as to why having a soul should matter, or why I worry about OBVIOUSLY unimportant things in accordance to our everyday life. I would like to clarify what the point of philosophy is. Philosophy as we know it today is a collection of different thoughts going back as early as 3000 bc to today. The point of it is to explain the world to the best of our ability with what we know, we make assumptions and build assumptions off of those in hopes that we come to the ultimate truth of the universe. Around 1600 ad there were so many ideologies circulating that we decided to split the subject of philosophy into 5 different branches. There was the branch that defined and studied the things of the world that is unseen by us, we called this metaphysics. There was a branch that defined beauty and studied the theory of perfection, we call this aesthetics. There was a branch that made different scenarios and formulas possible thinking in lateral ways, we call his logic. There was a branch that defined what Good and bad were, and this was called ethics. The last branch is the study of knowledge through observations and conclusions, and we called this Epistemology. In the modern world, we have become a very materialistic society and in turn we came to a recent conclusion that the dealing with philosophical thoughts is something of the past. I believe that with the state of the world today we need more philosophers. Too many associate philosophers with "thinkers" And as clarification I would like to distinguish the two. A "thinker" is an enlightenment term given to skeptical assholes who think they know everything and try to destroy and debunk existing beliefs. A philosopher is someone who constructs different ideas, tests them out and sees how much merit each claim has. We have too many thinkers, but not enough philosophers.
           Now, the most infamous things of philosophy are those of metaphysics, and the funny thing is that people scoff at metaphysics and say that it is a product of ignorant religious thought, I would like to turn around and as a final point, say that What we know today as Quanatum Mechanics is The exact same thing as metaphysics. "How?" you ask, well that will be the topic of the next post.
