Rambling on about some philosophical things

I'm not a mystic or anything, but haven't you ever thought that maybe there might be some hidden code or algorithm in the vast cosmos, which we cannot easily access but can only see the results of it through the senses?

These are things that have crossed my mind, of perhaps some kind of information present in the cosmos which is charged with organising matter using physical laws without being those laws, and that having access to them may allow us to alter reality or matter to anything imagined.

Some have even tried to include consciousness in physics as one more dimension among the four already known.

Another case is found in Pythagoras who placed numbers on a divine throne.

We also have Parmenides who denied motion, because what exists is pure being, and that the information provided by the senses is pure illusion.

Another thing to note also is the problem of qualia, which makes a person reflect deeply on the quality of objects (besides being one of my favourite problems).

And finally we also have Descartes who tried to divide the mind or reason from the senses.

Perhaps all this is rooted in the fact that in the human being there are two worlds, the one outside him, and the one in his mind.

This is the origin of idealism and realism (or empiricism). Plato and Aristotle are peculiar cases, where Plato gave reality to the ideas that are transcendent, and the sensible world he explains as a shadow of the ideas.

Whereas Aristotle does the opposite.

Anyway, these are questions that have arisen in my mind, and rather than having a feeling about them, I have thought about them and will continue to think about them.
As it was said somewhere before: "Philosophy is thinking things through".

Sort:  

Filosofar o cultivar el arte de pensar y mejorar, no lo deje de practicar.
Otra teoría le voy a dejar: La materia es ilusión, solo existe la mente y es una sola, la del creador y nosotros sus pensamientos viviendo en ella.
Esta tiene su nombre, pero no lo recuerdo.
Solo le dejo la frase para meditar o averiguar, si llama su atención.

Éxitos @moyita, nos leemos.

Quizas todo en la vida sea ilusión y vivimos en la irrealidad, uno nunca sabe, gracias por pasarte por mis letras, creo que el concepto del que no te acuerdas es el solipsismo
