Innate values to the existentialist journey. 16/07/2020.

 

Empirical experience is often a very basic process of sensing things, receiving data and then processing it. Through the existentialist journey I believe that without experiencing something new; the possibility of unique identity is limited and so I'd presume for that part of reality to exist innate to our being. Unique identity is a way of understanding free will and furthermore- without free will, we would quickly characterise the subject of observation as what it is and so it would then act in the same way in which our past recognition of the similar item had. Its within the anomaly of our nature that exemplifies our free will and so I would suggest that for example- two people with the exact same size, skills and identity would hence forth have the same value in existence. It is within the anomaly; be it good or bad, but in whatever way, details the person unique value. A value of which is his signature existence.

Concepts and Ideas.

Ideas attribute to concepts. Social units'; formed by a collection of humans or even the stand alone nucleic family unit, contribute ideas and these become the conceptual scheme that include the way in which the social unit behaves. Through thought one derives character.

Many of the worlds concepts are social constructs. This means that more than one idea comes together to merge in to a concept. For historical, social and philosophical difference, some conceptualised products are not suitable for system integration. Sometimes as a result of failed assimilation, social phenomena occur. Power groups surge and the result of politics is shaped by ideological dominance and change.

Character.

There are two stances for how one derives their character. The first is that innate concepts dictate the persons mode or conceptual perception from such precepts (a posteriori). Though this is a common stance, not the preferred however, known; it does not account for where the precepts come from. Secondly, It’s that we sense and experience things that ultimately influence our destination. (a priori)…

It’s hard to think of how innate conceptual schemes could be primarily moved into our conscious state. Perhaps from chemical compounds- we come to a determined judgement and decision making process or maybe from god itself- are we instilled our character. From an a priori stance we could presume for the likelihood of individuality to be hard to come across, but by what i’d like to imagine, its a combination of both stances that ultimately make a person :).

Globalisation, Constructive Epistemology and Religion.  

Social epistemology is inherent within the dissemination of belief systems in the common world. Without a transparent dissemination of information on beliefs, often the subject of observation is known to be a cult faction or secret society. Freemasonry for example is a mode of worship and as Eric Hobsbawm says, a religion of a time that was not too long ago... 

The theory of Constructive Epistemology entails a dissemination of information that essentially constructs the idea of god amongst a social group. In medieval Europe, before the Catholic Reformation, reading Christian documents was not inclusive of all classes however with the work of Martin Luther such as his 95 thesis and the Guttenberg printing press; a standardisation of dialects within nations occurred of which infused the people to organising against the Catholic church resulting in the creation or founding of Protestantism. This case study of constructive epistemology isn't stand alone and shows that the founding or discovery of modes of worship are intrinsic to the actions of social figures and the use of technologies.  

In the modern day, we’ve more modern technologies. These technologies enable a unification of thought that surpasses the boundaries of nations. Perhaps a new global religion is on the horizon. 

Religion and A Free Mans’ Worship- Bertrand Russel.

Abrahamic religion refers to the three major monotheistic religions that share a common lineage tracing back to Prophet Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These religions consider Abraham to be an important figure in their religious histories and beliefs. The term "Abrahamic" highlights the shared ancestral connection and theological similarities among these religions. They all believe in one God, have holy scriptures, and emphasize the importance of moral conscience and ethical behaviour. 

The belief systems that derive from the Abrahamic lineage as stated are monotheistic but fasting is a common denominator for all three faiths. As the teachings of Abraham evolved through the ages, the same stories were told but by different people with different religious artefacts and names. By no means is the Islamic faith a new ethos; alien from that of its predeceasing forefather, Abraham.  

‘worship, if it is not to cease, must be given to gods of another kind than those created by the savage.’ - page 40, The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russel, Bertrand Russel. 

Here now I wonder, as a “want to be” kabbalist, if the name of God is even pronounceable by the human tongue. With our flaws- are we so blinded by evil that we assume gods’ love for us? It would be certainly foolish to think such a thing and so I'd presume that the true knowledge of god is preserved by a few of whom have been selected and through the ages of turmoil do we ascertain an understanding of who these people are.  

Look towards the wise elders of the particularly prestigious sects of each religion to tell you that war has no place in our world. World peace should be the objective and to learn from one anothers’ spirituality should be of concern for we were all made by the spiritual power of the all mighty and it is this power that binds us all. 

Philosophy of Politics. Philosophical systems are inherent to the world that we live in. It’s hard to imagine an understanding of this world without the efforts of some such as Immanuel Kant or Plato to say a few and within the language of each nation are the reminiscent artefacts of the philosophies that its peoples adopted… Bertrand Russel, pg. 532 - The Basic Writings of Bertrand Russel says some things in the opening of the essay of which I agree with. The philosophy of the British has shown good morality and furthermore has led to good industry. A philosophy for politics should not only go as far as to providing a basis from which morality becomes popular but as a globalised component- production should perhaps be an aspiration. By this I mean that for a nation to show strength, produce must be of importance. On the topic of Great Britain; production has been an outstanding feat from such a small island. Though I could guess for some critics to differ in opinion, I’d say that as some evidence suggests in Toby Wilkinson’s’ timeline, the hardships of mining labours were overcome early on in the nations conceptualisation and if by instruction. The early and more basic settlers of Ireland dug and so, found resources. I’d suggest that if Europes’ descent to finding metals be true then there would have to had been a great collaboration.

Philosophy is generally a tool used to understand and define. Through philosophy, one can explore or define things that are otherworldly. Intrinsic to nature and also phenomena of consciousness philosophies that consign to systems and those of which are full and dynamic may perhaps usually bring forth a better understanding of the scientific world. Through a later released article I will try to appoint philosophical systems to equating by associations of scientific models.

Politics has forever been in a quay state of morality though- with this being said, in the darkest realms -the agendas of immoral dictat has always been backed up by a moral stance of good. Ultimately as a believer in god and its'* nature being of good, through a observation, one can see that the truth of the phenomena that’s righteousness always winning or at least that is what we are told… Either way, an aspect of due diligence is a philosophy that I’d like for all nations to adopt for the future of nation development. By this I mean for a constant force to be applied so that the best is always done. Alas! My attempt at synthesising a new post-modern philosophy.
