Beginning of Philosophy

 Beginning of Philosophy


First, understand that you have weaknesses and an inability about necessary things

This may cause disagreement with another

Now inquire into causes of disagreement

Don't identify causes that only "seem"

Identify causes of what it "is"

Discover that "rule" (like the balance to weigh, Ruler to measure length)

the role of philosophy is to examine and confirm the rules

Use the ruler then properly - without parallax error

Thus things are counted and weighed when rules are ready


The above process is similar to Hypothesis testing in statistics; 

The hypothesis is : "It Seems"

Test: of Opinion is through the Rules

For example, there is an object to be weighed : if you ask 2 different people, they shall give 2 different answers on the weight . The weighing balance solves the issue;

Role of Philosophy is to examine the Balance - like the Auditor of Scales
