Limits of philosophy
How far has philosophy progressed over human lifetime? Not much it seems. Unlike Science, nothing is built on top of anything. While always aiming for the centre, the figure we trace is more of a circle. Questions are fascinating. How could mind ever tame reality, while itself being a subset of it? How did we do it then? A truly frivolous hobby, applied far too seriously in politics.
How do we organise a society? Knowing all that you know about this world, do you have a vision for utopia? How do we get there? Should we leave these to the democratic masses? Are all people equal? If these are our questions, what progress have we made since Plato's Republic?
There is an inherent flaw. When you get to the bottom of the things, you hit physics. Unsatisfied, you reach for metaphysics. You can keep spinning the self referential wheel here as long as you like. What is the fate? Settle for a "lie" or keep discovering false bottoms.
