Philosophy Novels & Stories

Upon hearing this, Philip was dumbfounded. He snorted and asked, “How is it possible? What are you talking about? I’ve gone through compulsory education and believe in materialism.” Fennel smiled and said, “Then what do you think our existence is all about?” Gulp. Philip swallowed and started to feel a little flustered. Yes, how could the existence of Fennel and the door, as well as the existence of the Nonagon and the disciples, be explained?

We embody the result of the ethical and political imagination of those who took that great leap over mere success. That story is ours. The history of philosophy is the key to what we are and why we are. It's all there. From Plato to Descartes, from Spinoza to Darwin; from Hegel to Freud. From Tocqueville to Beauvoir. From Augustine to Marx. In philosophy there are no impossible paths. Not only is it part of the hard core of the Humanities, but it is the very root of what our civilization consists of. We are progeny of ideas. They are our firm walls. We have to continue to know that and transmit it. In this way, the human body ca

He leaned against the doorway, watching me with unreadable eyes. "I deleted what you wrote. That useless garbage is what's getting ideas in your head.” "You don't actually think you can leave me and survive on your own with that worthless trash, do you?"

Absurdism is a philosophy which holds that the universe is chaotic and irrational and that any attempt to impose order will ultimately fail. Before Aunty Matilda visited today, I had an argument with Goodness over the phone. It started when I told him that I firmly believed that some people knew too much to the extent that they are unable to accept that they actually know nothing. Goodness said my statement was false. He said when you know too much, you are aware of the infinity you do not know. Hence, the realisation that you know nothing at all.

Who knows what he would manipulate me to think in here. “You’re crazy,” I hear myself saying. Thought doesn’t react the way I assumed he would, not appearing offended at all. He simply loosens a deep breath, backing up a few steps to one of the stacks of books against the wall, looking at the spines as if they actually exist. I have to remember that nothing around me exists. Thought isn’t someone who I can touch, and feel real sensations. Even if I did, it would be a simulation. A terrifying one, too.

talking. It feels strange. But not bad. "Have you read Descartes?" I ask, gesturing to his book. "Some. The mind-body problem interests me." "Me too. The idea that consciousness might be separate from physical form." Kaelen's eyes light up slightly. "You've studied philosophy?" "Not formally. But I read a lot when I was hiding at the academy. Philosophy gave me ways to think about identity beyond just omega or alpha or biological determinism." "That makes sense. Especially given everything you were dealing with."

She questions Russell as he slowly glances at Kim. He swindles on his seat, clearing his throat. "Um, I'm a business and architecture student. But, I also like to study philosophy." He smiles staring at me, making me feel surprised by his answer. Kim raises both eyebrows, mouth gawked open, forming slowly into a smile. "Philosophy. Really?" He chuckles, and tilts his head down. "Um, yes! Philosophy. I like studying the mind as well, and everything in general for that matter."

I can't claim to be a genuine worker in the field but I am a very enthusiastic amateur. The notion of creating some kind of a machine that can think, a conscious computer presumably, collides head on with a genuine and deep philosophical problem. The oldest one in Western philosophy, perhaps. The relationship between the inner world of the mind in which we all live, and the outer world of things and other people which science investigates.

v. I turn to look at everyone who all still have their eyes glued to the t.v., everyone seems to be taking this way too seriously, its miles away so it doesn't exactly affect us, I smile to myself, what this lot need is a good show, I look to Acre beside me and notice he's already watching me with a twinkle in his eyes "what you thinking bro?" he mind links me "I think they are taking this way too seriously" "my thoughts exactly, what you got in mind?"

If I guess it right, she just looks exactly like her. I glanced at another picture frame beside it and a found a certificate, an academic certificate in specific. I skimmed it and--- "Lander Luke Everfrost---" huh, his fathers and he is major in "---Philosophy?" and another thing, "Doctorate degree..." Philosophy is the pursuit of knowledge. It comprised all areas of speculative thought and included the arts, sciences, and religion. As special methods and principles were developed in the various areas of knowledge, each area acquired its own philosophical aspect, giving rise to the philosophy of a
