WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY? -Jersey Flight

It is not the discovery, but the creation of powerful concepts; concepts that can be utilized in the service of stability and productivity [existential quality!]. In this sense many thinkers believe (if they merely probe deeply enough) they will discover the supernatural attributes of the universe. How much life has been wasted in the service of this romantic nonsense, blank idealism, desperate metaphysics?

As Deleuze and Guattari tell us, "The first principle of philosophy is that Universals explain nothing but must themselves be explained." What is Philosophy? pg.7, Columbia University Press 1994

The concepts we create eventually amount to knowledge and knowledge can lead to wisdom, as that which aids in the course of life. If one's knowledge is not the kind that can lead to wisdom then one is possibly wasting one's life.

As the Philosopher so is the Creator!

About Me:

Jersey Flight can be considered as a sort of left-wing version of Nietzsche. He is an iconoclast against all forms of cultural superstition, including elitism and academia. His intellectual interests include, defining and expanding the psychological qualities that account for advanced thinking, as well as collaborating a method for its culturation. He has repeatedly challenged intellectuals to transcend theory and fulfill their social responsibility to engage culture through polemics. His writing style is consciously concise; an anti-scholastic, he tries to communicate complex ideas in simple prose. He has written multiple volumes of philosophy that have not yet been released to the public. He is the Director of Interdisciplinary Research at the Institute for Advanced Dialectical Research.
