Hi Jonathan and All.
I have read your post and now understand that the quote:
"I am not forcing my philosophy onto you Derrick. Philosophy does not
have to be true you now!"
Was not quite accurate. Thank you for pointing it out. Rather I think
philosophy does not have to be proven true or wrong. My personal feelings
towards philosophy is that it is full of theories rather then proven fact. I
believe there is no way of proving anything true in philosophy. Maybe if my
quote was "does not have to be proven true" it may have been slightly
better. I think there is more then one definition of true. One is proven
truth for example 1+1=2. When the other meaning is actually acting
truthfully as Jonathan said "true friend", "true aim". I am lacking a bit of
information on this subject of the truth of philosophy. Since I have only
studied in detail one philosopher/writer, Robert M. Pirsig.
JONATHAN: "Philosophy MUST be TRUE to everyday experience!"
I am not sure what this actually means Jonathan. I would like it if you
could explain it further.
Thank You,
Geoff
