Essay 5-Conscious Experience

Introduction In essay 4 , we have discussed the absolute existence of reality. It has been determined that reality absolutely exists and that such existence is known through the presence of conscious experience. The concept of conscious experience has been discussed in both essay 3 and essay 4 . However, both essays are rather lacking in their discussions, essay 3 only discusses briefly to establish some sort of methodology while essay 4 discusses deeply about conscious experience but does not address a core problem: its definition. Therefore, this essay will have the sole purpose of defining the conscious experience. Conscious Experience The existence or truth of the conscious experience has been established in essay 4 and is certain. Its presence is irrefutable, and as explained in essay 4 , only mentally unsound people and p-zombies can reject the very concept of conscious experience. As such the discussion of the certainty of conscious experience will not be rediscussed. ...

Esai 5-Pengalaman Sadar

Pendahuluan Pada esai 4 , kita telah menetapkan suatu pernyataan filsafat sebagai pernyataan pertama di antara segala pernyataan filsafat, yaitu tentang keberadaan mutlak kenyataan yang berbunyi, “ Kenyataan ada secara mutlak .” Dalam esai tersebut juga dijelaskan bahwa pernyataan tersebut dibuktikan oleh suatu kondisi yaitu pengalaman sadar. Konsepsi tentang pengalaman sadar ini telah disebutkan dalam 2 esai, yaitu pada esai 3 dan esai 4 . Pertanyaannya kenapa harus ada esai khusus lagi untuk menjelaskan pengalaman sadar? Alasannya adalah dengan esai yang khusus maka penjelasan tentang pengalaman sadar dapat difokuskan dan lebih dalam. Selain itu, penjelasan pada esai 3 dan esai 4 masih belum lengkap. Penjelasan di esai 3 hanya sekilas, penjelasan di esai 4 sudah mulai mendalam tapi masih ada unsur yang kurang jelas. Terakhir ini akan memudahkan kita untuk merujuk pada esai yang memang khusus membahas pengalaman sadar. Maka atas alasan-alasan tersebut diadakanlah esai ini y...

Essay 4-Absolute Existence of Reality

First Intuition As dictated by essay 3 , our philosophical system shall begin with multiple intuitions. Therefore, we shall begin with exactly that, the first intuitions to be used as the basis of our system and essays. As the title of this essay suggests, we shall begin with a discussion of existence. This begs the intuition of why must existence be the first topic of the philosophical system? Indeed, there is a reasoned intuition as of to why existence is to be the basis of the system and not by arbitrary choice. The intuition is that existence is the first and most fundamental property of any object. It means that the existence of any object must be true before we can determine or know all of its other properties. We must therefore determine the existence of the object before we can examine its other properties. If an object does not exist, it is impossible for us to examine its properties as by definition those other properties do not exist either. This seems to be a tautology ...

Esai 4-Keberadaan Mutlak Kenyataan

Intuisi Pertama Sebagaimana telah ditetapkan oleh esai 3 , intuisi akan sangat berperan dalam bagian awal pembentukan sistem filsafat. Seperti analogi bahwa kita membuat kota baru dari puing-puing kota yang lama. Sekarang kita telah memasuki proses untuk sungguh membuat sistem filsafat dan pasti harus ada bagian pertamanya menurut alur waktu yang terbatas, Maka intuisi pertama kita adalah intuisi tentang keberadaan, bahwa keberadaan adalah bagian pertama dari sistem filsafat. Intuisi akan menjelaskan mengapa keberadaan harus menjadi bagian pertama atau bangunan pertama dari sistem atau kota filsafat. Bagian pertama ini ditopang oleh tanah yang terdiri dari batasan, metodologi, dan penetapan tentang skeptisisme dan intuisi. Namun bagian pertama ini juga akan menopang segala bagian berikutnya. Secara singkat, keberadaan suatu benda harus benar dulu sebelum kita dapat meneliti tentang sifat-sifat lainnya. Kalau suatu benda tidak ada, tidak mungkin kita dapat mengetahui tentang sifat-s...

Essay 3-Beginning of a Philosophical System

Foundation and Justification of the System As dictated by essay 1 and essay 2 , we have obtained a foundation and justification to form the new philosophical system. In order to refresh our minds, I shall summarize the foundations and justifications. In essay 1, we have established the requirement of a new ethical theory for the happiness of all mankind. In essay 2 , the ethical theory is connected with the philosophical system, and a reflection of extant philosophical systems shows that they have more or less failed. As such we are justified in forming a new philosophical system, replacing the old, to achieve the new ethical theory. Limits of Philosophy The first step in the philosophical system is the establishment of clear boundaries of the system. We recognize that the system is made up of statements related to a particular topic. For the achievement of the purpose of this system, that topic must be bounded. It is true that it has been hinted on what those limits are, but I...
