The Freedom of Philosophy

This is a minor topic that I was advised to bring up in a blog by my friend Jonathon, I figured that is was a fair topic to touch on, just as a reminder that any ideas that come from philosophy can be contested, but no idea may be deemed wrong by any means.

Simply speaking there is no way to say that anything said philosophically is wrong. Simply put, philosophy is a set of ideas abnormal to modern beliefs that contests the current beliefs. The fact that philosophy contests modern beliefs, modern beliefs cannot be used to deem it wrong. I may make a topic that is titled "Gravity?", and questions whether gravity is an actuality. No person can say that gravity is a proven fact by science and in the field and in controlled testing. That is not a legitimate way to contest it. A legitimate way to contest that would be to present another philosophical idea. If you believe that gravity is totally true, then that is fine, you don't need to worry about it, but if you do wish to contest the statement in the post, you must use a fair philosophical statement.

The great thing about philosophy is the unbelievable freedom of thought. It can bring you to try to understand things that science cannot explain yet, or look into the future, or into the past... Philosophy is a totally free way of thinking. Just remember though, it is only good philosophy when it is logical!
