  1. Definitely. And what else can it build on? All culture, all productive activities and philosophy ,including (especially if we are talking about texts, and not words thrown to the wind) – are the product of the desire of specific people.

    This is sometimes forgotten when telling fables about seekers of eternal truths who are completely detached from the world.

    However, it is the question of desire, for example, that is one of the best guidelines that will help you read philosophical texts. To write a book, not just to think about it, but to finish it and publish it-you need a strong desire. Therefore, when reading a philosopher, it is useful to ask what was so important to him – what problem, question, or solution-that he completed this book? And it often turns out that along with the desire to understand or make the world a better place, philosophers also have other desires that are more prosaic – for example, to criticize a colleague, achieve a position in a university, or feel their own importance. Remember the example of Schopenhauer, who did many things just to spite Hegel (well, as luck would have it, in fact, to spite my mother, I'll freeze my ears, since Hegel didn't really know anything about Arthur).

  2. The deep essence of any aspiration or desire is dissatisfaction with the “what or how – now”. Philosophical conclusions, too, are motivated either by a desire to understand and improve, or by sharing a formulation of experiences, realizations, or understandings that will improve or facilitate the perception of life.

  3. It all starts with intent. Intention originates in the non-local, universal mind, and is localized in the individual mind. localized intent becomes a physical reality. As stated in the Upanishads, “man is made up of desire. What is his desire, such is his will, what is the will, such an act he performs, what an act he performs, such a lot and reaches. ” Desires and intentions are inextricably linked. With respect.

  4. No, it's not true. The whole philosophy is based on a very strange concept, which is not fully understood and is now (in a certain sense, becoming more and more confused) – existence.

    Human desires are derived from human existence. In one way or another, they are aimed at continuing this existence. What existence itself is is still quite unclear. One of the unsolvable questions of philosophy is where is the human boundary? Constant metabolism blurs this boundary far, far away. What does it mean? There are just as many answers in philosophy as there are philosophers.

  5. The unified mind of the Universe “splits” in the world (Unified in Many Ways) into a system of psychotypes. A matrix psychotypic construct is ideal for this question. there was a lot of independent research, not tied to models, on the subject of HOW MANY PHILOSOPHIES…..I explore the ancient world, the Middle Ages, modernity, a specific country, cinema scenarios, etc … – 16.

    Each of the 16 psychotypes is a view from one side of the whole, a certain system of DISTORTIONS of the whole, read, yes, personal needs of the attitude to life.

    But, the real philosophy, Darshana among Hindus, for example, is a holistic worldview that DOES NOT INDULGE ITSELF, but strives to be adequate, synergistic – the Unity of ALL people in Itself, which turns Its psychotype into a Zone of Responsibility, but NOT DOMINATING over others, namely, personal responsibility in collective interaction, where Understanding, Possession and OTHER “philosophies” helps adequate interaction, with Love, Acceptance and generally Leading BEYOND personal egoism.

  6. Philosophy is not built on desires, because philosophy, as a science, is built on the facts of being. A person doesn't know what he wants. This is because the world is not predictable.

  7. Man is a mammal 🙂 and our species differs from animals in that it has self-consciousness or awareness of its existence, has intelligence, the highest activity of the Mind. One of the attributes of this higher activity is desire. We have our needs and needs (just like animals), but in addition to them, since we have learned to meet them with a reserve and free our minds from the worries of everyday life at least for a while, it is this free time that has given us the opportunity to acquire desires, dreams and thoughts about more. And these thoughts about more than caring about needs or needs, and became a philosophy. In fact, no invention more complicated than a stick or a stone in your hands could have arisen without a person's free time from gathering or hunting. Philosophy is the basis of any of the sciences, all of them were born out of it. Like all inventions designed to fulfill our desires, they were born out of science.

  8. Anecdote on a similar topic: During the Soviet era, a delegate to the CPSU Congress went to Moscow. Upon arrival, he says to his fellow villagers: Imagine, we have everything for a person, everything for the good of a person, everything in the name of a person, and I saw this person…

  9. a person has a desire to breathe, but no one is interested in talking about it, EVERYONE EASILY satisfies this desire .

    But if you close his mouth and nose or put him under water with his head, then he will feel this desire.

    However unsatisfied desires will be torn as if you throw mentos into a coke

  10. Philosophy is based on the desire to know the truth, on contradictions and attempts to understand the structure of everything. Trying to answer the “eternal” questions. If we talk about desires, then on the desire of a person to comprehend the truth and build ilomofiya.

  11. Not true !

    First, the word philosophy is translated as the love of wisdom.

    Secondly, the word man has two designations: a) not fair, but widespread and hypocritical, it means a reasonable, however, primate-like creature, a flesh-from-the-flesh likeness of a man and a woman , this designation is beneficial for fraud, evil deeds

    b) the word adequate person means God-likeA righteous spiritual principle created by God to inspire the minds of men and women to do righteous, just, and merciful things.

    Most people do not know this designation, do not know why they find themselves in an inadequate position. unable to see justice being served.
