Philosophy attempts to bring under critical review and to correct errors in
the cultural mind of our civilization, the prevailing assumptions and
beliefs about our knowledge-yielding powers, the various sectors of the
culture, and the basic structure of the world. It holds the cultural mind
accountable to the unavoidable presuppositions of experience, thought,
and action. Errors in the cultural mind can lead to distortions in the
development of the culture and to social and personal pathologies. . . . The
mission of philosophy today is to point out the errors in our cultural mind
and to work for a humanistic cultural reform
Yes, this is true. The mission of the philosophy is infinity. Infinity sensation, cognition, comprehension of themselves and the Universe.
Philosophy has been caught up in the dominant ways of thought
in the culture and has tried to accommodate itself to the prevailing
scientific paradigm of knowledge. Although much of what is taken for
granted in our efforts to know and to cope with reality is no doubt subject
to empirical confirmation or correction, the most fundamental assumptions and beliefs that constitute the mind of the culture are not. They pertain to the categorical features and structures of experience and thought as well as to the basic constitutive features and structures of whatever the subject matter of our experience and thought may be, including a comprehensive view of the world. We do not discover these features and structures of things by an empirical investigation of them in the way in which we discover contingent features and structures; rather, the way we empirically investigate and think about any subject matter presupposes commitments about its categorical features and structures. These presuppositions govern the outcome of empirical investigations rather than being the products of such investigations. This is not to say that our empirical findings may not generate problems that call into question our categorical commitments, but these problems [of categorical commitments] are of a different order from the logical problems among empirical beliefs that force revisions to keep them faithful to reality.
What is 'true' in one environment might be 'false' in another environment, so in this Framework it is important to define the scale of analysis/scale of application. All what is claimed is obviously true because all expressions are natural phenomena and therefore belong to Nature to be always true, right?
Yes, this is true. The mission of the philosophy is infinity. Infinity sensation, cognition, comprehension of themselves and the Universe.
Philosophy always played significant role in social reformation and helped society to overcome social restriction. Philosophy arise from the daily life of ordinary people and ensure the best of human through it's in depth knowledge.
A group of us was examining the text of 'common prayer' in section 'Catechism' . "The mission of Church is ...." and our Rector said, my Bishop might say, it is better to word the passage as 'The mission of God' is... Church is, but a body formed by God's will.
