ontological Commitment

The best that I could write would never be more than philosophical quotes. For this compels us to travel over a wide field of thought criss-cross in every direction. The philosophical quotes in this tumblr are, as it were, a number of sketches of landscapes which were made in the course of these long and involved journey ings.

Expect the unexpected, they say, but once the unexpected happens, the last thing you expect is that it will happen again

Durísima la luna. Igual que tú, tan lejos.

Suéñame, te digo, como te sueño aquí,

hasta que los dos sueños se conviertan en fuego,

hasta que mi aliento sea el tuyo,

hasta que respiremos cada uno

por la boca del otro. La luna

asoma, llena y sorda. No estás

al otro lado del teléfono y solo

por un hilo de sueño podré hablarte.

Jaime Labastida

Las proposiciones solo pueden ser derivadas a partir de otras proposiciones; no a partir de los hechos: no se pueden probar enunciados mediante experiencias «como tampoco se pueden probar dando puñetazos sobre una mesa». Esta es una cuestión básica de la lógica elemental, pero relativamente pocos la comprenden incluso hoy en día.

As soon as you rest satisfied with primitive ideas, and with primitive propositions, you have ceased to be a philosopher.

Se debe romoper con una noción adaptativa del conocimiento. El sujeto, que necesita del lenguaje no solo para expresarse, sino también para conocer, no se adapta al objetivo que conoce ni el juicio es la mera adecuación del enunciado a la realidad.

“El conocimiento es, de esta suerte, un proceso y la posible verdad es también un proceso porque el objeto de la “certeza sensorial” más simple sufre un doble proceso de cambio: uno natural, en sí, y otro que depende del trabajo humano”

This is a photo of my book shelf. By the end of the year, I hope that I Will be enrolled in a PhD program, so I’ll have to leave my room behind. This is something I really want to do. But, I’m optimistic enough for thinking that this year my life will have a big change. Not only because I Will not be a young person anymore, but just because I think that I have been living the way I do for a long time. Nothing last forever. And my lifestyle is not an exception. I hope I really hope that I will get my life changed.

Sorry

That this Tumblr has been abandoned, It is something well known. But, apologizing myself for this, I announce that I'll came back.

Reading is cool, but actually I know I can do more than just posting quotes. I still don't know what else I'll do in this blog, but for the moment I will continue reading and sharing arguments with you.

When you live in the city, you learn to take nothing for granted. Close your eyes for a moment, turn around to look at something else, and the thing that was before you is suddenly gone. Nothing last, you see, not even the thoughts inside you. And you mustn’t waste your time looking for them. Once a thing is gone, that is the end of it.

Every time you think you know the answer to a question, you discover that the question makes no sense.

Forgive me for being so blunt, but I don't see any point in mincing words.
