Voluntatism - from the latin voluntas = purpose, will, wish, intent.

This would be a theory of ethics. I believe that if someone truly thinks about a moral dilemma and does what s/he thinks is best to do, then that decision was morally right. In other words: follow your heart. So if someone did what they thought was for the best, but it turned out wrong, that decision was still better than if they had done something they believed was wrong (even though it might turn out well).

Is there a theory like this already? If sbdy knows of one, please tell me, I'd be interested to know. Thx

Any person who truly follows their own way in life, by necessity has a philosophy. The philosophy would be a transcription of their life, not as logical statements, but as their most important decisions. The name of the philosophy would be their name.

I think I would name mine something a little dramatic, like 'Words of a Wanderer' for example. My basic ideas are that life should be lived, and that we should prepare for death. I know what those mean to me specifically, but they are open to a wide range of interpretation and I'm always curious to know what others think "living life" really is, and I'm curious about people's thoughts on death in general. I've also found in my short life that being alone with my own thoughts as much as possible has given me the greatest revelations I've ever had, so I would emphasize that people spend time wandering, observing from afar, and then take serious time with their own thoughts to sort everything out. I don't think very many people spend much time in their own company anymore and for me it has been a source of enlightenment. Very cool question!

Kyala's theory on ideas and thinking.

I'd wiped out all the absolute collective truth, and give them different values, names or numerical ordinals with different representation of their fixed variables. You're looking at chaos. lol
These things always made me wonder how these ideas came into existence. Though we all believe ideas are eternal or immortal, they existed before our birth and continue to exist after our death, who knows it wasn't just some scientists who named them according to how they wanted to classify them or put them into order.
Definitely a tree is a not a panda, but collective truth lets us believe it is indeed a tree.
It is just a question of renaming, reclassifying, reevaluating these ideas.
Don't mind me, these weird thinking gets into me a percent out of hundred. I am still here, intact, with you lol.

A philosophy is a standard of belief of what others follow it is is the ultimate power of human thought that trangessed through human emotion that we call life. our experiences knowledge and freedom has helped us fight the gigantic battle of adversities of love, self preservation and peace

My philosophy has a name with no letters.
It can be spoken only with silence.
It can be seen only with shut eyes.

All our senses tell us... this whole physical Universe we "exist" in.... It serves only to trick us into notions of purpose when it is in fact purposeless... trick us into notions of truth when it is fact all fallacy.

Peace and Freedom can only be found when all that can conflict or obstruct has been destroyed.... when all of existence is returned to that without:

Nothingness.
