All these years have made me realise, there are four things in life you can't get too bogged down in: forever, morality, virtue, and life and death.
Insistence can sometimes be a virtue. But if you insist too much on 'forever', your fear of losing someone will blur your vision; if you insist too much on 'morality', it will just become a stubborn obsession, most things are not so black and white; if you insist too much on 'virtue', you will become conceited, and try to change the rules to suit your values; if you insist too much on 'life and death', you're dwelling on the insignificant, and you would just be living a second-rate life.
There are just some things that ought not to be questioned, ought not to be dwelled upon. What's done is done, whether it was right or wrong matters not. Wouldn't you rather think about the future?
Socrates as a Lawyer in Today's World
Socrates, one of the most prominent figures in ancient Greek philosophy, had a profound impact on the legal world with his questioning method and ethical principles. So, what kind of lawyer would Socrates be if he lived today?
Socratic Method and Legal Defense
One of Socrates' most distinctive
Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work—whereas economics represents how it actually does work. Economics is above all a science of measurement. It com- prises an extraordinarily powerful and flexible set of tools that can re- liably assess a thicket of information to determine the effect of any one factor, or even the whole effect. That’s what “the economy” is, after all: a thicket of information about jobs and real estate and bank- ing and investment. But the tools of economics can be just as easily applied to subjects that are more—well, more interesting.

When discussing philosophy and law, it is important to consider how the two disciplines intersect. Philosophy has long been used as a tool for legal reasoning, providing insight into issues of justice and morality. At the same time, law can be seen as an expression of philosophical principles in action. In this blog post, we will explore how these

KİTAPLAR ÖLMESİN (DON’T LET THE BOOKS DİE)
Sadece canlılar mı ölür, peki ya kitaplar? Kitapların da bir ruhu yok mudur?
Kitap sektörünün ve yayıncılığın zor günler geçirdiği günümüzde, acilen bir şeyler yapılmazsa eğer kitaplar ölecek ve kültür büyük bir darbe görecektir. Kitapların ölmesi demek, toplumun hafızasının ölmesi demektir ki bu
Even this approach, however, rests on an implied philosophic base, which was voiced occasionally by certain party members. Thanks to these men, Germany’s “secular, bourgeois liberals” can be said to have stood for something intellectually distinctive. What they stood for was eloquently expressed a year before his death by the sociologist Max Weber, a major influence on the social sciences in Germany and one of the Democratic party’s most illustrious founders.
In 1919, a group of students at the University of Munich, agitated by the Weimar Assembly debates and shaken by the violence in the country, invited Weber to address them. The students wanted guidance; they wanted this famous scholar-scientist to tell them what political system to endorse, how to judge values, what role science plays in the quest for truth. “Weber knew what was on their minds,” writes Frederic Lilge. “He also knew that a distrust of rational thought was already abroad, a feeling which at any time might assume alarming proportions.... He therefore decided to impress upon his young audience from the outset the need for sanity and soberness of mind....”They must not, Weber told the students, be taken in by religious dogmatists, or by irrationalist charlatans, left or right, who pretend to offer solutions to the world’s problems. The fact is, he explained, there are no solutions. Certainty is unattainable by man, knowledge is provisional, values are relative, scholars are merely specialists doing technical jobs detached from life, science has nothing to say about morality or politics—...

Birikme ve sıçrama düşüncesi Hegel'i akla getiriyor ama burada sıçrama, yeni olanın başlangıcını değil, eski olanın meyvesini meydana getiriyor. Büyük insanı içinde bulunduğu çağ değil, geçmiş olan çağ ortaya çıkarıyor.

Buddhism differed radically from Shinto in a number of ways. First, it was a
“revealed” religion. It had a definite founder in the person of Shakyamuni Siddharta, a prince of the Sakya clan in what is now Nepal. Second, it was concerned with personal morality, salvation, and the afterlife. Third, it was a world religion, in the sense that its message was deliberately aimed at all humankind, not at a specific nation or culture.
