We have some interesting and comprehensive webpages on Philosophy
(includes Philosopher's quotes, biography, pictures and summary of main
ideas).
 Philosophy
of the 20th Century is characterised by being postmodern
in nature (no absolute truths), idealist
(we can't say anything physically exists, all is a representation of the
mind) and concerned with logical and linguistic analysis. The philosopher
Ludwig
Wittgenstein is famous for making us realise that while we do not know
reality then all words are ultimately just human constructions without absolute
meaning or truth (which comes from relating words to things that physically
exist), thus language is a tautology.
'Philosophy
is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.
... But what are the simple constituent parts of which reality is composed?
- What are the simple constituent parts of a chair? - The bits of wood of
which it is made? Or the molecules or atoms? ...The fluctuation of scientific
definition: what today counts as an concomitant of a phenomena will tomorrow
be used to define it.' (Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1889 - 1951) |

Carl Jung
Psychology vs Astrology
'We are born at a given moment, in a given place and,
...have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born.
Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.' (Carl Jung, 1875 - 1961) |

Carl Jung
Synchronicity / Cause and Effect
'The connection between cause and effect turns out
to be only statistically valid and only relatively true. ... I define
synchronicity as a psychically conditioned relativity of time and space.'
(Jung |

Bertrand
Russell: Philosophy of Thought
'Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive
and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions,
and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free.' |

Open Society
and Social Criticism: Karl Popper
'In my opinion, the greatest scandal of philosophy
is that, while all around us the world of nature perishes ... philosophers
continue to talk, ...about the question of whether this world exists.' |
