The mirroring of classical philosophy into the freedom issue
In romaneste aici:
For hundreds of years philosophy have seen the freedom as a metaphysical matter but not as political one. But in the 19 and 20 century freedom started to be perceived in political terms and since then the philosophy have lost another part: the sociology.
The reality of slavery was very clear before that rupture and it is unbelievable how philosophy ignored the political frame of freedom. This problem is still today one of the most critical because it leads to terrible ethical convulsions. But instead of confronting it and conceive its terrestrial nature the philosophy throw it into the sky. It is said that Tales of Millet fell down into a hole once even he considered himself as a big astronaut but his contemporary fellows were joking about it and asked "how such a man pretend know what is upper his head since he has no clue about what is under his feet?". Watching their way of thinking one would get the impression that the philosophers are some kind of autist persons that developed some abilities according to their personalities.
