The philosophy tool of the Power (Part One).

The philosophy tool of the Power (Part One).

       Preamble:

      You will see that I make use of plain language writing this as I usually treat philosophical themes.
    Intellectualist philosophers deploy a colossal instrumental own terms far removed from everyday language. Is that you make the distinction between orthodoxy Aristotle (vulgar language non-wise) and episteme (the language of scholars, science).

    To put some specific references, see a list of authors who would intellectualist notably Plato, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, Ramon Llull, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger.

       The fact is that most of the population has direct access to the work of these authors. If anything, has to be content abstracts disclosure.

    To understand something: The publication of the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant, 1780, initially passed unnoticed; the few reviews that were not referred praise. There was no way to get at that patracol more than eight hundred pages jammed technical terms designed to Kant. Until the publication of the letters of disseminators In Reinhold, of exaltation of the Critic, in 1786, in Kant's work was unknown.

    The thing was this: To be able to capture a reading Critique of Pure Reason involves a complete course to master Kantian terminology. We assume that very few people have read Critics steadily.

     Something similar happens with the attempt to understand the work of philosophers mentioned above.

    So far the preamble.



    The philosophy is not meant finding the truth itself would be the fairest title of this writing. Of course, it could also be the owner's philosophy is not to find love, or, more scandalous philosophy instrument of ideological war.

     The definition of this philosophy would be more appropriate: Philosophy is an argument in support of a particular ideology and against one - or some - alternative ideology.
    For example, in the philosophy of Socrates-Plato argues in support of the premise that there is an eternal moral truth, truth that is accessible to human reason, and that once you grasp moral truth, wise practices necessarily good.
   To understand something: In Socrates (Plato) opposes the moral truth of the wise opinion of vulgar broad masses. Socrates-Plato defines democracy as a mistaken and perverse (See my post on the topic thoroughly reactionary Socrates).
      In order to show what the immediate objective of this treaty, see a series of statements.

      The schedule school studying philosophy and history of philosophy is developed by a team of officials from the state administration. Consequently, we make the following statements:

    Thesis: The schedule school studying philosophy responds to the ideological interests of the ruling class.

   Thesis in Spain, this program responds to the interests of the Castilian-Andalusian oligarchy, which for centuries maintained a monopoly of power.

   Point and part.

   Thesis: Of course, publishers and mass media make a philosophical treatment of the subject according to the official program.

    We know: Over the centuries, in Europe, University of bishoprics were dependent (ie, Rome). The university chairs were occupied, almost without exception, members of religious orders.

    We know: A medieval universities, theology was considered the supreme science. The philosophy was to the service of theology (Philosophia ancilla Theologiae). Since N'Agustí Hippo philosophers were theologians.

   We know: Until the arrival of the Lutheran revolution, not a single paper could circulate around Europe without nihil obstat (You can see what happened to their roles with Galileo in astronomy).

   We know: Almost all medieval philosophers were monks, members of various religious orders.

    Currently, programming philosophy, textbooks and encyclopedias continue taking off the medieval philosophers (theologians, more properly). Suggest that those monks were some great sages (the cultivation of various sciences) who had made great contributions to philosophy and the sciences. But against this view, see the statement immediately.

   Thesis: The writings of those medieval monks do not contain a shred of science; are a heap of nonsense; are theological apotheosis (reach the end of angelology create the '' science '' according to which study alleged new orders of angels). Unable slightest opposition, those monks unbridled even created a '' science of Mother God '' to the point of daring to impose as unquestionable truth that Mary, mother of God, came to sky soul but also the body, which resides there, alive and shimmering.

   To understand why: Spanish textbooks and encyclopedias N'Isidoro do know that Seville is one of the masters of medieval Europe, but no warning that their claims to Etymologiae N'Isidoro the building of the Tower of Babel humankind spoke one language, Hebrew. N'Isidoro, like the rest of '' wise '' Christians, but did not pick up the collection of prejudices of his time.

  (Note informative. What grace that Isidoro's family: all the brothers were also saints. A Guinness record for holiness. Here are their names: Isidoro Leandro, Fulgencio and Florentina).

   While accepting the validity of the statements exposed a man could be in doubt if it encounters some of the works of those medieval theologians could be saved from the fire.

    In response to these questions, in relation to the writings of medieval theologians, I make the following clarification: Of course, I have not reviewed (I do not want to waste time reviewing) all the writings in question. The basis to ensure the validity of my statements lies exposed in historical facts absolutely recognized. See how was the thing: As soon as the Inquisition (ie the Roman Curia, Pope) considered the scientific theories of philosopher or expert deviated science officer then proceeded to open a process judicial and, in the case of sentencing (general case) the work was judged by the Index registered librorum prohibitorum. The statement would read:

   Thesis: Regarding the written works of the famous medieval philosophers, that their treaties natural science were not condemned by the Inquisition trial so obvious that the treaties in any way contributed to the creation of Modern science, which were mostly written nonsense collect and traditional prejudices. The treaties contain reference in any philosophical or scientific contributions; otherwise they would have been prohibited.

     And the medieval treatises on questions of morality and metaphysics (which was the most common theme) is a repetition of the arguments in support of the Christian dogma.

    That remains clear: Even though some time talking about '' new philosophy '' things to note is that in any case the '' new philosophy '' Christian philosophy disavows precedent. Thus, although the Catholic Church praised in Thomas Aquinas (the sixteenth century Pope Pius V declared a Doctor of the Church) never invalidate agustinisme, own philosophy of the Church until century XIII.

    Arrived here, we should make a clarification to the reader: This is not the case with this booklet I intend to review history. No, what I intend to do is clear the insignificance of the current philosophy (philosophies), or worse, mystifying feature of many ancient and modern philosophies.

     Thesis: In Europe now predominant ideology responds to the interests of economic and social elites (mostly coincides with the excesses of neoliberal capitalism).

    Thesis:

    Then - the reader might think - we assume that philosophy is useless or harmful. My answer to this question would be what is a fundamental statement. See it.

    Thesis: In all historical periods, the class struggle (or the struggle between social factions) manifests itself as an ideological struggle. The ruling class seeks to certain universal values ideological subjugated classes (the classes) are often available to strengthen an ideology opposed to the ruling class or Power. Similarly, it also happens in the confrontation between the factions of society.

  That is, the philosophy is always present. A philosophy is a set of arguments that aims to ensure the rational goodness of a particular ideology.

     But you can also see:

   Thesis: Until the modern era, in societies where religion was essential social revolts mostly take the form of a religious movement or religious conflict. And hence forth everywhere theological confrontations. Every social movement intended to be an expression of the divine will.

     And also,

   Thesis: At all times, the great movements of social classes or class factions have adopted the guise of religious conflict.
   Or to put it more precisely: At all times, the religious wars are an expression of social conflict, either class or factions or nations.

     Of course,
   Thesis: The wars of religion are all one with the theological wars, so the philosophy is always essential instrument of ideological war.

    Exposed these statements, returning to question raised has to see that all the time, is the hegemonic power that makes a certain philosophical, either in absolute despotic regimes or partially regimes fingers democratic.


    Since the edict of Thessalonica in 380, Christianity was the official religion of the Roman Empire. Since then, the Christian hierarchy unleashed the war for the extermination of existing religions in the empire (You can see my written Catholic Church, an instrument of the Roman Empire).

    Since then, the Christian kingdoms exercised unbridled despotism. Despotism that was general in Europe until the Lutheran revolution (revolution not reform because the triumph of Lutheranism meant the beginning of the modern era. You can see my post Martin Luther liberator).


    That remains clear: For over a thousand years in Europe, the theologians were servants of Rome. His intellectual activity was either authorized or Rome (for the most distinguished) was commissioned by the Pope.
   Of course, in Spain, encyclopedias and textbooks are still saying that the great medieval theologians were a great sages who made important contributions to science, but the truth is that knowledge of the wise men were a collective Collection of nonsense (Hey, Beware! Bollstädt of Alberta, known as St. Albert, appears as a patron saint of science and scientists. But they very alert to publish its '' scientific knowledge. '' See my Post Albert the Great).

      Power usually makes cynical use of religion and philosophy. See an unusual event that it became clear: In the fifth century, the defeat of the Roman Empire, the Franks, the Visigoths and Ostrogoths had taken extensive imperial territories. The occupants Germans, instead of imposing their religion and their language to the conquered territories, decided (in assemblies of notables) adopt as their own Christian religion and Latin language. The leaders of those Germanic peoples thought to have a piece of the Roman empire was worth a mass (Moreover, without having a church was organized as a Christian, could not control the dominated towns).
