What is Philosophy?

[Anonymous No.14845113]

What it isn't:
>nihilism
>atheism
>materialism
>novelty (there is no such thing as a system of thought or whatever "belonging" to someone, or having been conjured up by them, something cannot come from nothing)
>resulting in relativism (see in nihilism, also sophistry ala Protagoras)
>scholasticism

What it is:
>the ultimate purpose
>theism
>idealism
>eternity (the philosopher is a fisherman casting his net into the objective metaphysical superreality, intelligible realm and so on, true Being, he through Reason and divine inspiration helps reveal God's order, there is no such thing as nothing)
>moral realism
>an ascetic, mystical life one takes upon one's self to achieve henosis, not a cushy spot at the church of sophistry that tars the name 'academy'
>the preparation for death
>imitation of God by Man

You aren't an ascetic or a mystic, and you aren't aspiring to be one either. You just like imagining that you are.

Who said I was a philosopher? Read the Greeks.
