IDEAS AND BELIEFS

BELIEVE AND THINK I
has ideas, in belief is. - "Thinking about things" and "have them."
When you want to understand a ho's name, the life of a man, try first of all find out their ideas. Since the EU believes it has "historical sense", this is the most basic requirement. How can they influence the existence of an individual with his ideas and the ideas of his time? The thing is obvious. Perfectly, but the thing is also quite misleading, and in my home, insufficient clarity about what you are looking for when they inquire the ideas of a man or a time-prevents get clarity on your life, its history .
The term "ideas of a man" can refer to different things. For example, the thoughts that occur to her about this or that, and those that happen to others and he repeated and adopted. These may be poseer the different degrees of truth. They can even be "scientific truths." Such differences, however, do not matter much, if anything important, given the much more radical question now raised. Because they are. vulgar thoughts, be rigorous "scientific theories", we always try to occurrences that arise in a man, his original or insufflator for others. But this obviously implies that the man was already there before it occurs or adopt the idea. This stems, in one way or another, within a life that pre-existed it. However, no human life is certainly not constituted by certain basic beliefs and, as it were mounted on them. Living is having to deal with something, with the world and himself. But it isro and until we are able to die for them. What we can not is ... live on them. They are the work we do and, therefore, pose and our life, which is based on ideas, beliefs that do not produce us, that, in general, we do not even formulate and, of course, do not discuss or argue or propagate. With the beliefs themselves do nothing, but we're just there. Precisely what happens to us not ever, if we speak with our carefully-occurrences. Vulgar language accurately invented the expression "being in the belief." Indeed, the belief is, and occurrence have and hold. But the belief is the one for us and sustains us.
So there ideas that we call them-so hapormulate.
This shows, without more, that everything in which we think is ipso facto a reality problem for us in our lives and occupies second place when compared with our true beliefs. These do not think now or later: our relationship with them is much more efficient, is ... have them always, without pause.
I think of its importance to inject, at last, clearly in the structure of human life this contrast between thinking something and have it. Intellectualism that has bullied, almost without interruption, the entire past of philosophy has prevented us to make patent and has invested the respective value of both terms. I explicar.
Analyze your behavior any reader, even the simplest in appearance. The reader is at home and for some other reasons, decides to go out. What is all this the proper behavior that has the character of thought, even understanding the word in its broadest sense, ie, as consciousness of something clear and present? The reader has realized its reasons, the decision, the execution of the movements with which he walked, opened the door, down the stairs. All this in the most favorable. However, even in that case and much to look at his conscience will not find in it any thought that stating that there street. The reader has no question for a momentfor if there is not the Why? Not be denied that to be resolved out on the street is of some importance that the street exists. In fact, is the most important of all, the course of everything else. However, precisely for that important subject matter is not the reader has not thought about it or to deny or to affirm or to question it. Does this mean that the existence or nonexistence of the street does not influence their behavior? Obviously not. The test would have if getting to the door of his home discovered that the street had disappeared, the land ended in the doorway of his home or talk to E1 opened a chasm. Then he would produce in the reader's consciousness a very clear and violent surprise. What?apart. He was in us, but not consciously, but as latent involvement of our consciousness or thought. However, this mode of intervention is something in our life without the thought to call "count on it." And that is so characteristic of our actual beliefs.
intellectualism, I said, inverts the value of terms. Now it is clear the meaning of this charge. In fact, intellectualism tended to regard as the most efficient in our life as conscious. Now we see that the opposite is true. Maximum efficiency on our behavior lies in the latent implications of our intellectual activity, in everything we have, and that, in pure count on it, not think.
S "this, man has clearly aware that his intellect is exercised only on questionable matters, that the truth of ideas is powered by your question. So, is this true in the test that we intend to give it. The idea needs the critics as the lungs of oxygen and held and said drawing on other ideas which, in turn, ride on another, forming a whole or system. Arman, thus a world apart from the real world, a world composed exclusively of ideas that the man known manufacturer and responsible. So that the strength of the strongest idea is reduced to the enduring strength to be referred to all other ideas. Nothing less, but nothing more. What can not is to test an idea, like a coin, golpeándoessence or relative knowledge.
A study like this would allow us to see clearly the change is sustained by our faith in reason over the last twenty years, and this amazing shed light on almost all the strange things that happen in our time.
But now I needed nothing but make the reader fall into the account of what our relationship with ideas, with the intellectual world. This relationship is not of faith in them: things that our thoughts, theories offer us, we are not reality, but precisely and only ... ideas.
But while the reader will not understand what something is us when we only idea, not reality, if not ask him to fix in their attitude towardswhat is called "fancies, imaginations." But the world of fantasy, imagination, is poetry. Well, I'm not daunted, by contrast, this was getting at. To be well over what we are the ideas, their primary role in life, you must have the courage to bring science to poetry much more than has hitherto been bold. I would say, if after all I want to set a good understanding that science is much closer to poetry than reality, that its role in the body of our life is much like that of art. No doubt, compared with a novel, science seems to be the reality itself. But compared to the true reality is what science says is a novel, fantasy, construction menta, for some or other reasons, the belief persists. Specify the major lines of radical change in the shape of human life that result in disappearance, was a great exercise as an introduction to historical thinking.)
But in this core area of our beliefs are open, here and there, such as manholes, huge holes in doubt. This is the time to say that doubt, the real, which is not merely methodological or intellectual, is a way of belief and belonging to the same stratum as profitability in the architecture of life. Also in doubt is. Only in this case the room has a terrible temper. Is in doubt as it is in an abyss, ie falling. It is therefore the negation of stability. Suddenly satimos that fails under our feet firmly ground and we feel down, down in a vacuum, unable to avail ourselves, unable to do anything to affirm, to live. Is like death in life, such as attending to the cancellation of our own existence. However, the question of belief retains the character of being something that is, that is, we do not do or put us. There is an idea we could think or not, support, criticize, make, but, at all, we are. Not deemed as a paradox, but consider it very difficult to describe what is the real question if not say that we believe our doubts.
If not, if you doubt our doubts, it would be harmless. The terrible thing is that it acts in our lives exactly the samebear, but we doubt it casts doubt before, to a reality as reality as grounded in the belief, but is it ambiguous, double-headed, unstable, against which we do not know what to expect or what to do. The question, in short, is to be in unstable as such: it is life at the moment the earthquake, an earthquake permanent and definitive.
At this point, as in many other references to human life, we receive further clarification of the vulgar language of scientific thought. Thinkers, oddly enough, have always jumped to the reality that radical bullfighter, have left behind him. Instead, the man thinker, more attentive to what matters, has taken sharp eye on their own existence and has made the language, seeNácul precipitate these entrevisiones.
forget too that the language is now thought, doctrine. When used as a tool for ideological combinations more complicated, we take seriously the primary ideology he expressed that he is. When, by chance, we are unconcerned about what we mean us through the twists language presets and pay attention to what they tell us on their own, surprising his sharpness, his insightful discovery of reality.
vulgar
Because our society are now not distinguish between men and perhaps in good faith, believe they are smart that are fools, they are good ones that are most fakes. You know that there are sick of vision which the objects are gray blue. A similar thing happens to us today to English: a perversion of the trial are suffering on people. Smart judged these vain chatter called "political." It is believed that a good poet, great novelist, a good teacher who says more commonplace, the one that best flatters the public
