PHILOSOPHY IS A BIG TENT
PHILOSOPHY IS A BIG TENT ⛺️
Philosophy is a big tent under which all of our disciplines find origins, familiarity, nurture, life.
"Tent" allegorizes all commonality.
The heart and brain belong to one completely integrated living body.
Yet certain philosophy isolates the heart from the brain then allegorize their differences making the brain represent males, the heart females.
Philosophy itself has undergone similar dissection. God has been removed from philosophy's core.
But such a philosophical "removal" of God was as erroneous, was as fraudulent, was as apocryphal, was as apocalyptic, as was isolating the male from female, by allegorizing heart and brain within one and the same body; then, extending the paradigm to encompass society, government, religion, science, literature, art, law, mathematics.
