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)
Albert
Camus Depression & Motivational Thinking 'In the depths of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.' (Albert Camus, 1913 - 1960) |
Albert
Camus Philosophy of Friendship Quote 'Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.' (Albert Camus, 1913 - 1960) |
Social
Criticism: Michel Foucault Art and Life 'What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.' |
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) |
Imagination
and Fantasy: Jungian Psychology 'All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.' |
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 |
British
Philosophy History: A. J. Ayer Certainty 'The quest for certainty has played a considerable part in the history of philosophy: it has been assumed that without a basis of certainty all our claims to knowledge must be suspect.' |
20th
Century Philosophy: Ludwig Wittgenstein 'Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... The meaning of a word is its use in the language.' |
Bertrand
Russell: Free Noble Life 'It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.' (Bertrand Russell) |
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.' |
Russell:
Certainty of Fools, Wisdom of Doubt 'The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.' |
Bertrand
Russell on Eccentric Opinions 'Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.' |
Bertrand
Russell on Critical Thinking 'Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.' (Bertrand Russell) |
Socialist,
Anti-war Activist: Bertrand Russell 'War does not determine who is right - only who is left.' |
Bertrand
Russell: Man isn't Rational Animal 'It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.' |
Karl
Popper: Falsifiability and Reality 'Denying realism amounts to megalomania (the most widespread occupational disease of the professional philosopher).' |
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.' |
