Reviews
Very good, although better in the English version. If you are really interested in how things are, meaning metaphysics above all, you should study science (physics, astrophysics, artificial neural networks, neuroscience, etc.). Philosophy helps you understand how persuasion and common sense are used to assume the world, while these are subjective and non-neutral tools. Philosophy helps us understand how humans try to comprehend the world, which is not the same as how the world actually is. Some philosophers accept science, but not all and not completely, so philosophy is always closer to the average person due to its comprehensible formulations, and further away from the scientific approach to what is true. It is not enough to claim objectivity like a liar in order to be objective. Physics is the field of study for understanding the natural world, it is not the natural world itself. Philosophy is even further away from what is true. It provides a way of life, but sometimes it is mistaken and biased towards ideas, as it encompasses numerous ideas and non-objective criteria for judgment (common sense, persuasion, non-mathematical contemplation, non-mathematically logically consistent and non-causal correlation of truth that thus generates illusions, ideophilia, etc.). Ideas are necessary, but without objective criteria for judgment, they become ideological to cultures.
