we have to create a balance in our equations…
how do we create a balance?
do we create a system such as Spinoza and Descartes
and Hegel and Kant?
or do we answer this question of balanced like Nietzsche and
Wittgenstein?
this question of format is an important one…
our modern science tells us that any system is
going to be incomplete because it cannot enter all
the necessary facts into such a system…ALL systems
are going to be incomplete… it is this incompleteness
that devotees of the religious, attack… Darwin/ evolution is
a system and by definition, incomplete as is gravity
as is any scientific theory…and this is the wedge that
opponents of science attack, the incompleteness of science…
as we cannot create a system that is complete and answers
all questions, so we cannot depend upon such systems as
democracies and communism and consumerism… as they
are themselves, incomplete…
how do we resolve our need for completeness of our systems
when they cannot be completed?
we return to the fact that the universe we live in is random,
chaotic, incomplete, unpredictable… so we live in a
random and incomplete and unpredictable universe and
we cannot compose or create a system to solve this
basic problem of randomness or incompleteness…
so we answer the question about creating a system by
not creating a system…we focused on particular problems
without resort to any overall system…like Nietzsche did…
we must balanced the scales without resort to a system…
a tough road but not an impossible one…
science is a means to measure, weigh, time objects in
the universe and philosophy is a means to interpret the
results of that weighing and measuring…
so we use philosophy to interpret the “answers” of science…
so science is not opposed to or opposite of philosophy,
science is just another aspect of the equation…
whereas science is on one side of the equation and
philosophy is the other side of the equation…
equality of equations is our goal, not necessarily
solving the equations, but balancing the equation
is the goal of philosophers…
