Philosophy stories told to you 1

It is said that 'philosophy' is old knowledge, but it is not. Philosophy is born anew every moment, and it must reach out to those who live in the present with its vibrant wisdom. In other words, philosophy must constantly be reborn as a "new" wisdom, facing new people in a "new" time. This is how philosophy should live. Today's philosophy should be a wisdom that helps people living under the conditions of capitalism, ecological destruction, and artificial intelligence. Philosophy of the human mind must also evolve with the advances in neuroscience. Philosophy shouldn't force us to live in the past and stay in the past, but to constantly and reflectively examine ourselves under changing conditions and produce wisdom on how to live well. This is how philosophy lives. If philosophy stops doing this, it may become nothing more than a useless insistence on living in the "past wisdom" of "past philosophy. It is the sad insistence of those who mock those who live in the changing present, and who themselves go back to the past.
