What is the basic concept of philosophy​

Social Studies
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

I’m not sure what you meant to ask. There are a lot of philosophy “basics,” including ideas, key arguments, and fields. As such is the case, the most accurate answer I could give you is a list of what I refer to as the pillars of philosophy. In other words, these are the main subjects / subsets of philosophy that people study.

1. Epistemology: What can we know, if anything? Why can we know anything? What is the basis for our knowing anything?

2. Existentialism: Why are we here? What does it mean to live a good life? Does life have meaning? How does one derive meaning without the presence of a god?

3. Logic: How does one craft a logical argument? What are the logical fallacies, both formal and informal? How does one assess whether an argument is logical? Broadly, the language of philosophical argumentation.

4. The Question of Free Will: Do we have free will? Is all action determined? Are free will and determinism compatible?

5. Philosophy of Mind & Philosophy of Body: Does the problem of dualism exist? How are the mind and the body connected, if at all?

6. Ethics: How does one behave morally or ethically? Is there even such a thing as morality? If morality does exist, does it have any foundation? Does morality require an absolute foundation? What, if any, is the so-called “best” ethical system to abide by? Can there be such a thing as coherent ethical pluralism?

To each of these, there are many more subfields, and there are also a couple of large fields that I have left out. But it seems to me that these are the most prevalent and relevant to the average human. So in a pragmatic sense, these may be considered as the most important.

<em>So basically the concept of philisophy is the systematic study of ideas and issues, a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths, a quest for a comprehensive understanding of the world, a study of principles of conduct, and much more.</em>

How might monarchs react to the ideas of the Enlightenment?
olganol [36]

Answer: Negatively

Explanation:

Enlightenment ideas were not completely against monarchs but did have problems with the absolute nature of the rule of said monarchs.

Before Enlightenment, monarchs generally ruled as they pleased with the logic being that they had the right to rule from God and so had the right to control the nation as their personal property.

Enlightenment was against this and instead espoused the logic that a monarch was only able to rule due to a social contract signed between them and the people whereby they would be allowed to rule provided they took care of their subjects.

Monarchs reacted to this with negativity because it meant that they had to stop being so selfish with resources and had to share power with the people. As time went on however, and with constant pressure on them, they had to relent and it led to the dissolution of several monarchies in Europe and the transition of others to Constitutional Monarchies.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

It can be inferred that Mark lives alone and could be financially unstable.

There can be several factors regarding such practice of Mark. Since he buys from a nearby store that has limited variety of products and canned food it can be assumed that Mark lives alone and there are not much residents to demand for change in purchasing of food items. Mark might also be financially unstable to travel to some other store variety products are available and are expensive for him to buy.

Moreover, it's also a possibility that Mark prefers canned food over fresh food.
