Without knowing yourself, you cannot fully understand each individual philosophy that may work well for one man or bring doom to another.

Good luck filtering through the numerous ones we're presented with nowadays. However through that path we develop and grow, seeking deeper wells to uncover and drink from.

You can also read the three pure land sutras https://www.bdk.or.jp/document/dgtl-dl/dBET_ThreePureLandSutras_2003.pdf

> Is it because Westerners have come to lose their intellectuality through over-developing their capacity for action that they console themselves by inventing theories which set action above everything, and even go so far, as in the case of pragmatism, as to deny that there exists anything of value beyond action; or is the contrary true, that it is the acceptance of this point of view that has led to the intellectual atrophy we see today?

>>16369532
Abstract intellectualism without connection to action is pointless. If thinking A is true or B is true will lead to no practical difference in your life, then A and B are the same thing.

>>16369120
None, stop treating philosophy as a set of positions which you are supposed to pick

>>16369532
This is not true of Peirce, who explicitly opposes his pragmatism to the putting of action above everything

There is not one truth to life

Alduous Huxley's take on Perennial Philosophy.

Imagine a world, if you will, where nothing makes perfect sense. Where one world view (atheism) lends itself towards believing in coincidence piled on top of coincidence, and the alternative world view (theism) presupposes a sense of purposefulness to the universe with no clear explanation as to what that is.
Here comes perennial philosophy to answer our prayers. Let us say that hypothetically mysticism were true... then what would that make Jesus? Jesus would be a man who was born just like any other man, but who achieved greatness. A state of permanent union with the Divine, which adherents of other mystical schools attest to.

So... the purpose of life is not only to be a good person, but to become as Christ, permanently at One with God. "Behold, the kingdom of heaven is within you."

Let's face it, faith itself just works. You just believe it because you wish it were true. If skepticism can be wrong, does that make it necessarily rational(as maybe there IS an explanation for everything)? Best to see for yourself with your own eyes methinks.

See you in 4 years when you realise that the world is actually a good place

>>16385230
meh, everything else is lying to yourself

>>16369120
I think it's non-committalism. Barring extreme examples, most schools of thought can be refuted as easily as they can be embraced. The world exists (in some way). We are in it (in some way). It (philosophy) all has little to do with our daily lives. Philosophy is an experience and it can be a good one. But it's ultimately transient. Like everything else. Is this, in and of itself, a philosophical position that requires commitment? Maybe. I could take it or leave it.

>>16385256
Anything you tell yourself is a lie in the absence of truth. Those things are no different. As far as I can tell you aren't even referencing philosophy as bodies of thought. You're just saying these things provide you with adequate schema for existing in a way you're okay with. That's fine. I don't believe in intellectual commitment because that commitment is eternally tenuous. And that's okay with me.

>>16374304
Now rate Daoism and Zen Buddhism

>>16385138
What kind of nothing is it? There are two and they are different.

>>16385323
An experienced nothing I guess, like a dream.

-sideways eight/10

>>16385377
So it isn't nothing, it just doesn't exist in such a way to satiate your idea of "something"?

>>16385449
pretty much it's as good as nothing, it's just a passing experience. Once it's over it's as if it never even happened, your memory of it won't be around to confirm that it did.
