RE: Philosophical Metaphysics and the Categories of Being (Foundations of the Trivium Method)
Another way to look at this concepts and call it "Praxis", the spiraling in the cycles of human interaction and creation of ideas in reality.
From ancient Greek to Marxist and existentialist philosophies it has been embedded in the concept of Being and the Construction of the Self .
"Definition from wikipedia:"
Praxis (Ancient Greek: πρᾶξις) is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practising ideas.
praxis (πρᾶξις) referred to activity engaged in by free people. The philosopher Aristotle held that there were three basic activities of humans: theoria (thinking), poiesis (making), and praxis (doing)
Indeed, philosophy is the love of wisdom, which is to love the wisdom of right-actions. Thinking leads to doing. Bring in the moral truth and embody it.
question: did it help prevent the unprecedented crisis humanity is faced with?
I basically think that philosophy has been on its death bed for almost 2000 years. Nothing really major has been discovered since then... here comes the revolution of the Mind!
