if u dissect philosophy what will u get?

Answer 1

What every you are looking for. The thing is this world if for the cheaters and the cheated. Maya (Gods illusory material energy) has the service of keeping the fallen condition souls in their illusion. So if they want to be cheated She will make sure they are. The only way to get out of mental concoction and bondage is to fully surrender to God. This takes sincerity and purity. When one realizes that all wisdom is already available to the sincere seeker of it.The absolute Truth ( unchangeable Truth) is here but you have to know where to get it. One must seek out a bonafide Guru (one who already possesses it) then one can have it very easily. It is only due to false pride that one thinks they will discover something new or realize Prue Truth on their own. It is pure surrender to one who has it which will get you it. Sorry but that is just how it works. you can have it, only for the price of your faith, surrender and purity. That does not mean blind following, it means ones intelligence will actually be accessed when the Truth is heard by the sincere receiver of it.

Answer 2

That depends very much on what tools you use to perform the task. I would hope it goes without saying, for example, that you will get very different end products if you dissect an animal with a scalpel as opposed to a hand grenade.

I can only think of two tools that would be up to the task that you describe.

One would be to use philosophy to dissect itself. Nor would this be an unusual practice - many philosophers have taken it on as their project and even declared themselves successful (usually without a lot of agreement on that fact). What largely seems to result from this endeavor is a cutting away: you start with all of philosophy and end with -A- philosophy. The difference between the entire ocean and a narrow stream cutting through a ravine.

The other tool would be dogma. Also a rather common practice. Dogmatic dissection of philosophy would the hand-grenade method: usually the only thing that survives such a test is the original dogma and whatever parts of philosophy were already part of the original dogma.

That's my take anyway, though I'll keep an eye out for more tools that might be up to the task...

Answer 3

Two answers seems to open themselves to this question. First, if you dissect philosophy, you get more philosophy. This on the surface seems good but it creates too many issues: (1) it leans toward a composition/division fallacy, and (2) it suggests that philosophy is 'context-less'--i.e., philosophy becomes everything whereby it looses being anything. In this first answer, we find that is makes sense if we see philosophy in terms of "information" (if dissected, we get more 'information'), but this only notes the epistemological element of philosophy rather than metaphysics, ontology, ethics, etc. So, you could say, if you dissect it, you get something different (or even destroy) philosophy. The question then would be: What do you get as 'leftover'? I'm not sure anyone could say.

Thus, I don't think such a thing is possible. Dissection is a materialist term--to physically take apart in a reductionist kind of way. Philosophy, on the other hand, is transcendental, and metaphysical. It is almost like asking: "Can we give God a heart transplant?"

Answer 4

A struggle

a reprieve from that struggle

an understanding

a dissatisfaction with that understanding

outward searching

Inward searching

experience

the ability to ignore experience

That's what I get when I dissect philosophy.

I like to think that philosophy is not a science because science, to me, is mostly folly. Science tends to take a thing that is whole and break it down into it's smallest components in order to understand it and of course, that won't work because all you are doing is labeling components and arbitrarily making judgments about them. They quickly become too numerous for you to re-examine on the fly so they become rigid. This only limits your understanding of the whole when you re-assemble it.

Philosophy, I feel should have no rules, no labels and no components apart from the whole.

Which would mean that dissecting it would destroy it.

I think that's why when I tried to dissect it, I ended up with all self-negating opposites.

These are more my observations than my beliefs.

I try to steer clear of beliefs because they obstruct my vision.

Answer 6

That, is a philosophical question in itself... and the answer, would be just as philosophical, so to dissect is, would result in an answer just as philosophical as with what you started....

I hope I am making sense in someones mind here....
