Comments on: How do I get over the difficulty of expressing my philosophy? http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/how-do-i-get-over-the-difficulty-of-expressing-my-philosophy/ For Zen and your balanced discussions Sat, 24 Apr 2010 00:14:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Reese Luke http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/how-do-i-get-over-the-difficulty-of-expressing-my-philosophy/comment-page-1/#comment-225 Reese Luke Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:16:43 +0000 http://www.z-e-n.co.uk/how-do-i-get-over-the-difficulty-of-expressing-my-philosophy/#comment-225 Firs at all, I take myself as 'a philosopher' (so-so) but I'm an anti-western philosophical person; however I don't claim that the last is a trash, because I got some meanings about that philosophy (I'm a philosophy graduate hehehe). I think that the purpose of the western philosophy is to make you a skeptic one by force like the preachers at the medieval time and nowadays by audience. For instance, Descartes in his Discourse on the Method attempts to arrive at a fundamental set of principles that one can know as true without any doubt. To achieve this, he employs a method called methodological skepticism: he rejects any idea that can be doubted, and then reestablishes them in order to acquire a firm foundation for 'genuine' knowledge. For me his theory is not a trash, but I'm an agnostic one, so I cannot agree with him. I have my own inner-maxims that drive me to realize into my own life (some intuitivism). Some suggestions: First, make a schema for your fixed idea/theory in order not to draw a blank. Two, take one philosopher theory as your basis. Three, analyze another philosopher theory. Four, make some comparisons between the two philosophers (or more) and explain on your own the suspense which exists between them. Five, make, as a final work, your own estimation and critique and you should not debate the same issues of people. Someone said you: "It sounds to me that your have a fear of expression and the way to get over that is to not care about the right audience but to force your audience to hear you." YOU DO THE RIGHT THING! (Like me hehehe!). You are no wrong; an audience should be an interactive place to discuss. THE WHY IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR TRUE PHILOSOPHY! (You said above: "no one tells me why" or the whys) Firs at all, I take myself as ‘a philosopher’ (so-so) but I’m an anti-western philosophical person; however I don’t claim that the last is a trash, because I got some meanings about that philosophy (I’m a philosophy graduate hehehe).

If you start expressing yourself and get snagged ask them what they've in turn heard you say.

For example, I just explained to another person on here that Plato`s allegory of the cave can be understood in terms of what it would be like for a child growing up in Nth Korea to experience the greater world and have to try to explain it to the other Nth Korean children. Verbally it is much easier to confuse your thoughts which in turn confuses others so start with a broad statement and funnel your way in to specific statements and exapmples. Give the WHOLE and then move in to parts. Also, use the power of 3. # statements, 3 examples, 3 things etc. Three is easy for people to comprehend and for you to explain. For example, there are three perspectives that make up this philosophy. The first is... Good luck.
