Barriers in front of the philosophical thinker
The fact that "philosophical thinker" is a rare thought practice in the course of human history is due to some weaknesses of individuals and societies. Although some societies are at least one of these weaknesses (Ancient Greek, 18th and 19th century French or German examples); Societies are always vulnerable to these weaknesses due to their general tendency. Think philosophically in four parts:

An average individual and an average society; By studying an idea or considering the possible consequences of this thought; The essence of the philosophy is the person who thinks of himself.
Proposition: According to Camus, life is completely bullshit.
The reaction of the middle: E then let's die.
Philosophical thought: What does Camus mean by "ridiculous"?
Individuals and societies, again as a general tendency, want their ideas to be far from themselves, as they are themselves. Extreme ideas are dangerous to them, but all the great philosophies are cast from the most extreme ideas of the age.
Proposition: Nietzsche says, "God has been killed!" Says.
The average answer is: to argue, to walk away or to condemn violently.
Philosophical thought: What does it mean when Nietzsche says?
Language; flexible, twisted, torn, or broken. Linguistic miracles are the basic tool of philosophy. On the other hand, there is no "linguistic miracle" for the average individual and the average society, and language is merely an facilitator of everyday life.
Proposition: Heidegger says, "Language is the house of the Being."
Average answer: This is a saliva!
Philosophical thought: Is there really no place to be outside the language?
Finally, philosophical thought is possible by developing a critical perspective. What is spoken must be passed through a critical filter before being rejected or immediately rejected. However, a proposition for the average individual and the average society is either totally or completely wrong.
Proposition: According to Descartes, "spirit" and "body" have two distinct flavors.
Average answer: Exactly, we have a spirit and a body. Absolutely right.
Philosophical thought: Yes, but these two are two separate objects, how can they be influential or interact with each other?
Conclusion: It is understood that philosophical thought has the ability to think extensively, to recognize and use the miracles of language, to think critically, and to think in such a society, which may be in an unfocused society. . With all of this, it is important to have the courage and historical sense of responsibility to develop philosophical thought.
