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.



The Greek ancient so-called casuists sophists have some brilliant ideas about freedom and society but the institution of philosophy despised them and almost exiled them outside its body. On the contrary, the mainstream philosopher was that who argued against so-called casuists sophists. Actually transforming the obvious into something uncertain, transforming the black into white only by wide manipulation is the main purpose of philosophers and culture generally speaking. The Public Relation and advertising of nowadays just continued and perfected this surcultural masterpiece. In this case hundreds and thousands of chained propositions and syllogisms approximate step by step the big lie of natural unfree status of human being, its "ontological condition". If religion fails convincing people that they are meant to be slaves during their terrestrial life then the philosophy comes with its "ontological condition" for convincing people that the luck of freedom is natural. That is to say that slave is not free just because of nature itself; this ideology presents the master also as a not free creature because he would also wish to have all the women in the world and rule over entire earth but, as the slave, he is not "free" to get it…

I don't understand how anybody can declare itself philosopher, lover of wisdom when its mind is so thronged with master war and exploitation ideology. How can anybody pretend to get into the deeper secrets of the world when his mind is so enslaved by the greed of the kissed ass masters? What is your wisdom you philosopher? Is that the golden of silence?
