Why Art is Necessary to Philosophy
The shortcomings of the prevailing paradigm of philosophy originate from a faulty definition of what philosophy is all about. This definition is essentially "scientific" in nature, and thus tends to exclude things that smack of Religion ... and Art. To many philosophers this is taken as a strength, but it may in fact be a weakness. Does Art have an important role to play within Philosophy? According to this article it does indeed!
First Principles/Part One
This three-part essay is a commentary and expansion of Descartes' great discovery: 'I think, therefore I am'. It also includes a critique of Russell; as well as a very brief overview of the whole history of philosophy, so as to illustrate its evolutionary development and underlying meaning. Skepticism and Logic, and their relations with Reason, are explored, and ultimately deemed secondary to Reason itself.
