Rational discourse
Philosophy
is not. The attempt to find what is called the rationale discourse is
philosophy. The rationale discourse is the process of developing questions,
formulating opinions, and trying to answer the fundamental questions of life.
The rational discourse is separated and developed between two main
ideologies. A make-up of three
different ideals, those being fundamentalism, absolutism, and dogmatism create
once side of the model that’s premise is that the individual is right and only
they know because the all-powerful god says so. The other side of the model is
that of realism which says that all beliefs in the eyes of the beholder. In turn, the rational discourse lies
between the two and not becoming too fundamental, but at the same time having
rules in which everything is not in the eyes of the beholder. The rationale
discourse is the complete and utter middle ground of the whole entire model.
When one veers away from the discourse and beings to lean to rationalism that
medium is call constructivism. Constructivism, however is not complete
rationalism, but has some ideals that put decisions and some thought processes
in the eyes of the beholder, but establishes some rules the individual must
follow in order not to stray off the path too far. On the other hand, the
opposite side of the model that is trying to achieve the rational discourse is
that of foundationalism. Foundationalism, is the thought process similar to that
of its counterpart constructivism to the fact it takes a little bit of both
ideologies, but does not completely rely on the individual knowing all because
god said so, but that integration of beginning to think for oneself, but still
going back to some of the ideals of all knowing.
Philosophy is different that than other modes of thought because the
entire time the rational discourse is at the head on any analysis or problem
solving. Different from other modes of thought philosophy has a model to follow
throughout the process of putting thoughts together which makes following its
rational discourse a lot easier. Raising legitimate questions and answering the
fundamental questions of life. Philosophy takes a different approach, making
sure you cannot have any doubt or lack of certitude for something to be
determined true. The thought of developing thoughts the way of thinking one has
while doing so is philosophy itself. Philosophy has been described by many as
the loving of wisdom. To that point and is an instrumental value that
philosophy and the discourse run on and that is the act of language. Language
is crucial to the discourse. Without language you have no conversation, you
have no theory, you have no opinions, but most importantly you have no thought
process. Language in the realm of philosophy doubles as both the definition of
language we already know, but as the ability to achieve good thoughts or good
thinking. The language you use is not just of what comes out of your mouth, but
the way an individual processes thoughts and develops them into ideas and from
there puts them into theory and forms an opinion. The famous philosopher
Heidegger speaks on the importance of language and the intricate role it plays
in philosophy and achieving the discourse many a time. “Language is the ground
of any and everything…. Any existence of anything is formed and in one way or
another by some type of language… The world mirrors language.” This analysis by
Heidegger only begins to scrape the surface of how important language is to
philosophy and furthermore in achieving the rational discourse.
Philosophy comes with many rules as well as criteria for which it must
following separate to that of just following the rational discourse. These rules
are broken down into five main categories for which one who is striving to
achieve the discourse as well as understanding philosophy must incorporate and
follow in order to fully grasp the concepts. The first on the categories is
Consistency. Consistency entails the rule of avoiding logical contradictions.
Coherence is the second of five rules which says that one must avoid
non-cohesiveness and strives for unity. Furthermore it speaks to makes sure
connections are made and ensuring all things are connectable. Adequacy shows up
next and says that he ability to change or adapt to new modernizations as well
as new experiences. Applicability is the relevance of what we experience and how
it begins to relate back to the subject. Communicability is the final category
and it describes as that all opinions and ideas should be good enough to use
language to explain. In other words, the ideas should be good enough for one to
understand through conversation.
Philosophy
is called the mother of all sciences and has many developed reasons as to why it
is the mother of all sciences. Philosophy has developed this title over
time. It all began with mythic
explanation which was what many would call the start of thinking. This mythic
explanation was simply stories with truths outlining the so called good story.
The thought of mythic explanation was all about developing a good story, but
outlining them with truths. These truths and overall mythic explanation would
not hold true to the scientific facts we have today, but was based on a totally
different logic. From mythic explanation the process segways to whom many called
the father of western philosophy Thales. Thales was a man who took mythic
explanation and completely turned it on itself. He began to question, he began to
formulate, but most of all he began to think. One critical ideal that was
brought to the table during this time was the fact that science, philosophy,
and rationality all are intertwined. There is a grouping that a good
philosopher is a good scientist and a good scientist is a good rational
thinker. Thales begins to try to answer the stuff of origin. The question of
what many call the basis of everything. He concludes that everything and
anything is made up of water. From Thales we transfer to Protagorus who thought
that the measure of almost everything is in the eyes of the beholder, which
point back to our discourse and the ideology of fundamentalism. Protagorus and
his following the sophists began also to ask what is human and what is being
human mean. They also begin to stress the importance of language. They began to
emphasize being good at public speaking and anything related with language.
Many say that the sophists changed from the mythic explanation to a language
based explanation. Socrates was a later sophist began to change the sophist
ideal without relativism that was one of the many ideals of sophists. He began
the search for formal meanings in the world as well as the search for
universals. Following Socrates was a Theological Revolution in which, for the
first time the individual began try and rationally understand religion. The
revolution created the question of faith versus reason. People began thinking
about what was logical or reasonable and applying to their religion. The
Theological Revolution passes on to the Exact Science Revolution which was the
science of everything else. The revolution began to emphasize and exactness or
precise notion of everything and develop things into quantities. With the new
thought of exactness Isaac Newton begins to take center stage. The theory now
is developed as what is measurable is real and what cannot be measured is not
real. This new theory led to a comparison of science versus philosophy. Another
new revolution came of these recent accounts and was called the Psychological
Revolution. This new revolution
is based off observation and repeatability. Another basis which the revolution
was based was that of the measurability of the mind. This measurability of the
mind is a carry-over from the Exact Science Revolution in that of measurement.
This becomes an independent thought process and turned into the study of mind.
From there the journey finishes back where we started with language and the
Linguistic Revolution. So throughout this process the whether it is from Thales
to the Sophists to Socrates to Theological Revolution to the Exact Science
Revolution to the Psychological Revolution and finally to the Linguistic that
has set the standard for what philosophy is.
To conclude, philosophy is the attempt to achieve the rational discourse
and a more thought provoking way of thinking. The importance of achieving and
finding that discourse lies in between two main ideologies of fundamentalism and
relativism which are the extremes in the discourse. Philosophy is accompanied by
many rules and criteria and those being the five methods of Consistency,
Coherence, Adequacy, Applicability, and Communicability. These make some
guidelines for what individuals must do to reach the rational discourse and fill
the demand of rational thinking and philosophy in general. Philosophy has been
called the mother of all sciences and this is proper title due to the process by
which philosophy has developed as a way of thought. Philosophy has changed the
way people in world do in and everything and will continue to have a lasting
effect on people’s life.
