The very word "philo-sophia" (which, incidentally, introduced by Pythagoras), has laid answer to the question of why this science plays such a large role in the life of each of us.After all, the literal translation of the term means "love of wisdom".And who of us do not like sometimes pomudrstvovat, philosophize?And if in the logarithms of the lyrics can not turn and physicist feels insecure in iambic and chorea, and then to think like that, and another.Why is this so, and what is the role of philosophy in human life and society?Aristotle called her "Mrs. all the sciences, they, like a slave, do not dare to contradict."Seneca also considered the ability to think the principal means of cultivating civic virtue, intellect and morality of the individual.
«love of wisdom" really stands above all the sciences.Compared with it, each branch of knowledge is just a scrap.The role of philosophy in human life and society is that it harmoniously combines the achievements of all disciplines, and building a system of our knowledge about the world, as an integral phenomenon.Yes, philosophies vary due to other discoveries in the field of knowledge.For example, the device heliocentric solar system, the discoveries of Copernicus, and the origin of man from the great apes as a result of the evolution of species, Darwin proved, forced to revise the philosophical concepts of the world order.But philosophy is a "link", which, taking advantage of advances in certain areas, building a certain "world view."
But the role of philosophy in human life and society is not confined to the construction of the general principles of the universe (ontology).In our daily life we have, in principle, a little worried about, whether moving earth around the sun or vice versa.Philosophical Ontology value and emotionally connected with the human world, as set itself the question: "Who are we in this world?", "What is our place in here?", "What can we hope for?" That is, in addition to the ontology, science philosophythat even Aristotle called metaphysics, anthropology departments are allocated (the study of man and his being), social philosophy (the study of human development and the role of the individual in it), epistemology (ie, the theory of knowledge from Greek).Completing this series of religion, aesthetics and ethics.
If we know, for example, that the electrical current - a movement of charged electrons, we learn this information to reason, memorize it.Emotions thus remain unaffected.In the future, knowledge of current allows us to use an electrician for their needs, and to avoid hitting a large discharge.However, knowledge about the flow of electrons does not change our lives, not revolutionize inner peace will not be motivated to act, and not otherwise.The role of philosophy in human life and society is also important in that it builds the world, values and ideals.She directs the actions of people in some way determines them.Getting to know any concept of the humanities, we feel it likes or dislikes, it becomes "our" or we reject it completely, which is not true in the case of comprehension of any natural or mathematical discipline.
role of philosophy in human life, the individual, can not be overemphasized.On the question "Who am I, and why do I live?", "What will happen to me after the death of my body?" Answers and religion, but, in contrast, uses the philosophy of scientific evidence unit.Does it comforting to existential questions?Looking to which the concept of the individual bends.Morality - it is also the product of philosophical ideas.Respect for each person as opposed to another universe Machiavellianism and concepts of social Darwinism.
That man - a "zoon politikon" social animal, even the ancient sages knew.And it's not a creature tries to adapt to the world and remake it "for themselves."The role of philosophy in society is that it is looking for answers to the questions: "Is it possible to build on the land of the perfect society?", "How should it be?", "What should manage human masses?", "Is it possible to achieve equality andfraternity or that - a utopia? »
