Philosophy by the Way: The body and the self (2)

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-body-and-self-2.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, April 13, 2015. The body and the self (2). And, from the third person’s perspective, when a person has lost memory, isn’t it clear that this amnesia, even if it’s “only” partial, can have an enormous impact on that person’s personality? Maybe that’s why so many persons find it important to publish photos showing the face on social networking websites like Facebook, supposing that such a photos show who they are.

Philosophy by the Way: The meaning of the ordinary

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-meaning-of-ordinary.html

Philosophy by the Way. Friday, May 01, 2015. The meaning of the ordinary. At the end of my last blog I wrote that selfies are seldom taken when you feel bad. Usually it is so that photos are taken of themes with a positive meaning; themes that are more than simply neutral let alone negative. Selfies, and by and large photos taken of yourself (and of other people not being you), don’t say: “That’s me .” but “That’s me! Who did say that a thing of beauty is a joy forever? It depends on your standpoint.

Philosophy by the Way: Your selfie and your soul

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/04/your-selfie-and-your-soul.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, April 27, 2015. Your selfie and your soul. The image is the reflection of the soul. In his Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein writes: “. The human body is the best picture of the human soul.” (Part II, iv) In that context Wittgenstein gives the word “soul” a religious meaning, discussing the view that “[r]eligion teaches that the soul can exist when the body has disintegrated.” ( ibid. Now, I think, also the sense of making selfies becomes clear, and –this is ...

Philosophy by the Way: No way out

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/05/no-way-out.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, May 25, 2015. An animal runs away when the door is open, but man doesn't want to escape from his self-made cage. Somewhere in his Essays. Montaigne writes about marriage: “It happens, as with cages, the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair of getting out.” ( Essays. III, 5) It’s true, Montaigne doesn’t write that all marriages are that way that one wants to escape, once one is in. Nevertheless he thinks that it is so most of the time. La Meuse - De Maas.

Philosophy by the Way: On commemorating

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-commemorating.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, August 10, 2015. Monument for the victims of the terror attack in. Commemorating impressive events of life with monuments, especially when there have been many victims or when these events have changed history in a significant way, is a normal aspect of life. Maybe some readers know that I make pictures of monuments and sites related to the First World War, which I publish on my main website (see http:/ www.bijdeweg.nl/WO1-Inleiding.htm.

Philosophy by the Way: A bird in a cage

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-bird-in-cage.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, June 01, 2015. A bird in a cage. Last week, I stated that man is a prisoner of his or her own habits and routine. Even if the door of the prison is open, s/he doesn’t use the opportunity to escape, as any animal would do. Is it true? Maybe man is more rational than animals. Why should s/he escape when the door is open? Or is this freedom an illusion? For whether the door of the prison is open or closed makes for most people no difference at all! La Meuse - De Maas.

Philosophy by the Way: Getting a new body

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/03/getting-new-body.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, March 30, 2015. Getting a new body. Then I am not thinking of the technical possibility of the operation. Such a transplantation will certainly not be possible within two years but sooner or later it can be done and I am convinced that it will be done. But what will we get then? However, is it true? Is it possible to change the body for another one (where “body” means the part below the head) just as we can change clothes? 2013, 2015; my “. Can a person break a world record?

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, June 22, 2015. 8221;, which would later find expression in the doubt that Descartes used for laying the foundations of the ideas of knowledge and consciousness with his famous words “I think so I am”. The idea of consciousness was fully developed by John Locke, but we can see René Descartes as the father of epistemology. Knowledge but it changed the whole idea of.

Philosophy by the Way: Self in the era of selfie

http://philosophybytheway.blogspot.com/2015/04/self-in-era-of-selfie.html

Philosophy by the Way. Monday, April 20, 2015. Self in the era of selfie. Digital photography has not only become a mass phenomenon. It has become more than that. Making images is so important now that we can say that present society has become an image society (what had been already foreseen in 1985 by Vilém Flusser in his Into the Universe of Technical Images.
