Philosophy


Wittgenstein made a remarkable statement in his "Tractus" That the role of ethics, religion, mystical etc.. cannnot be used within philoshophy i.e, they are non sensensical when used within it, that the subject is transcendal and cannot be remarked upon with language .... Truth tables cannot be used since they and step out of the realm of this argument form ..

P (AND) Q = Z

If the prepositions are true then the answer (result) is truth ... but what if the prepositions have their own framework for deducing truth .... and they exist within another framework of another sort of truth .... The framework that has limits, have a frameowork well defined ...

This is a remarkable staement by Wittgenstein on the truth of "ethics" ...

I say they step outside the realm of logical deduction, Wittgenstein proposed a world of pictures .... language being limited ... explanation of the picutures being limited with language which is the goemetric projection between the pictures and the world ...

Morality, the world, like, death, surely they are above the realm of philosophical deduction, since they can be easily dismissed with the limited use of the written word and truth may be subjective, it may be qualitiative and dismissed with the written word ...

Maybe the nature of man cannot be expressed with philosophical deduction since the the variables concerned maybe so many and cross boundaries that they may not be viable to place within the limited framework of the truth being constructed .

Wittgenstein proposed that philosophy should be a tool to sharpen, make clear and distinct reality, as opposed to the cause of confusion .. .a novel thought.

Truth is also much clearer to some than others, take for example demonic posssession "or" in the west we call then "Ghosts" .. this is an unwritten "Truth" "fact" "undeniable" to the peoples of the East, they live with it as reality in life, and is in fact a science within their cultures i.e. in the case of Exorcism ... but for the peoople in the west this is "falshood" "imaginary" etc...
Truth in this case when deducing will have to cross cultural boundaries ...
