Written By: COMR. DABO EUCLID AMMEL Sometimes you need to CUT your Coat according to your Sieze. Always fight battles that will build your reputation. Avoid inheriting other people's enemies no matter how big and soul appealing the rewards are. Don't be a HALLELUJAH BOY to any selfish, incompetent and greedy leader but speak truth to power. Respect your age, else your younger ones will celebrate that fool that is in you. Be contented, don't be greedy for selfish gains. Don't fight a lost battle, you are too special to be used as willing tool by any greedy, impotent and foolish leader. Always stand and speak that which is truthful. Practice what you preach democratically in public. Lastly, learn never to involve your self in shameless acts that are geared towards shaming an innocent soul. Respect beget respect. POWER NO BE MADNESS, be kind even to you enemies and  God Almighty will always favour you. © COMR. DABO Euclid Ammel This piece is my world view about life,  any ...

Dabo Euclid Ammel ( M. Ed Philosophy, PDE, B. A. Philosophy) Sensual Pleasure yields negative charges; such effects are sensual, material, mutable and not permanent. True pleasure can only be gotten through self-realization, as one manipulates concepts, noise and nature towards actualizing his or her potentialities. Without negating the basic "realities” of life, true pleasure can't be found in material things. Not in a hobby, fantasies or some dogmas. True pleasure is achievable only through improving oneself via continues voyage of discovering truth (self realization). Am a pragmatist and a social reconstructionist. From my experiences so far I realize that what gives a form of pleasure that is immaterial, infallible, immutable and eternal is KNOWLEDGE. Fantasies are sensual and temporal, these are only opiates.  Developing your potentials first academically helps to build that quest for truth in you; such will help you to always realize that there are many t...

Introduction. The subject matter of philosophy of mind is the mind-body problem other issues are addressed, such as the hard problem of consciousness, and the nature of particular mental states.: the problem of reconciling man’s understandings of the causal structure of the physically described world, including our bodies and brains, with the apparent capacity of our conscious thoughts and efforts to cause our bodies to move in consciously intended ways. Due to a faulty understanding and application of a relevant part of contemporary science, philosophers of mind have encountered many difficulties in analyzing man, and this many call the quantum mechanics. Philosophy of mind is a vast field, so to make my task manageable I shall limit my remarks to the opinions and arguments presented in two recent books, John Searle’s Freedom and Neurobiology: Reflections on Free Will, Language, and Political Power, and Physicalism, or Something near Enough. This naturally created causal link e...

Biography Soren Kierkegaard was born on 5th may, 1813, in Copenhagen, a small provincial town, the seat of Government and, at the time the intellectual centre of Scandinavia, with its University and its learned Academies – a closely-knit society which provided Kierkegaard with a clinical specimen of the social and political intellectual and religious currents of the day, which he could consult like a barometer. He spent his life in a brilliant literary career, producing an extraordinary number of books before his death in 1855 at the age of 42. Kierkegaard was trained in Hegel’s philosophy but was not favourably impressed by it and He agreed with the attack on German greatest speculative thinker.

COMPILED BY: DABO EUCLID AMMEL Arthur Schopenhauer was born in Danzig in 1788. He was a contemporary of Hegel who refused to acknowledge that Hegel was an adequate successor of Kant (Stumpf and Fieser309). Schopenhauer launched a heavy criticism on Hegel such that he asserted no philosophy during the time Hegel. Full of pride, Schopenhauer regarded the philosophy that existed between Kant and himself as “mere University charlatanism.” Although Schopenhauer gave no premium to the philosophical works of Hegel, his “principle of sufficient reason” relatively connects with Hegel’s dialectic method. The “principle of sufficient reason” sets out to provide answers to the questions “what can I know? And what is the nature of things?” (312).  These which predates the pre-Socratic era intends to present a thorough account of the whole scope of reality. Relatively to Hegel’s teleological principle, Schopenhauer “principle of sufficient reason” states that nothing is without a reason. THE...

Hegel is the most influential of the three major German Idealists after Kant (the others are Johan Fitche and Friedrich Schelling). He achieved wide renown in his day and, while primarily influential within the continental tradition of philosophy, he also became increasingly influential in the Analytic tradition as well. Hegel has influenced many thinkers and writers whose own positions vary widely like, Karl Barth described Hegel as a “Protestant Aquinas”, while Maurice Merleau- Ponty wrote that “all the great philosophical ideas of the past century- the philosophies of Marx and Nietzche, Phenomenology, German existentialism, and psychoanalysis had their beginnings in Hegel.  Hegel’s influenced was immense both within philosophy and in the other sciences. Throughout the 19th century many chairs of philosophy around Europe were held by Hegelians, and Soren Kierkegaard, Ludwig Feuerbach, Marx, and Friedrich Engels- among many others were deeply influenced by, but also strongly oppos...

In the last decade of his life he suffered from insanity; he died on August 25, 1900. .His writings on individuality and majority in contemporary civilization influenced many major thinkers and writers of the 20th century.  He is known with his concepts “God is death,” a rejection of Christianity as a meaningful force in contemporary life, “will to power” and his concept of “superman” or “overman. FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE’S PHILOSOPHY GOD IS DEAD Nietzsche wrote philosophy in a manner intended to provoke serious thoughts than to give formal answers to questions. His notion of God is dead has been literally misunderstood. Following the political and military unrest in his time, Nietzsche sought to address the situation but...
