Philosophy is a second-order general knowledge, which analyzes the methods of science as well as scientific worldviews. It is useful knowledge, just like language or mathematics, so it is very useful in argumentation, in thought processes and in understanding reality, social and human. When philosophy arose 2,600 years ago in Miletus, in the Hellenistic world, science and philosophy were united and complementary. Philosophy is the queen of sciences, because it answers the major questions that arise in the search for deeper and more complete knowledge, and qualifies what the partial sciences express and achieve. The field of philosophy is the totality of existence and experience.
As for philosophical methodology, it is clear that it analyzes the structure of scientific knowledge and research methods and has very diverse branches such as: philosophy of science, philosophy of language, moral philosophy or ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of art. Or aesthetics, philosophy of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, bioethics, etc.
In the face of the increasing specialization of science, philosophy provides comprehensive knowledge and makes interdisciplinary knowledge possible. In addition, it promotes critical thinking and the ability to ask questions, discuss and investigate, which are essential in any knowledge or discipline.
There are different forms of philosophical knowledge, from academic to secular. From very abstract school theses to essays that are less complex to read, although they require a lot of effort. The great complexity of philosophical terms is similar to the complexity of chemistry, medicine, physics or biology, and no one rejects these sciences for this reason. Terminology serves to give more precision to what is being explained or discussed, and it is not something free, quite the opposite. It is not knowledge made up of verbal games, such as the natural or formal sciences, nor is it games of formulas, symbols, or experiments. Philosophy is knowledge that is no less important than mathematics or chemistry. It is a social and human science, and it is as necessary as the experimental sciences. The humanities or social sciences are as indispensable as the natural sciences. This is something recognized by great scientists such as Erwin Schrödinger, the inventor of quantum mechanics, who was a friend of a resolute Spanish philosopher such as Xavier Zuberi, Einstein and others. Al-Zubayri himself conducted deep investigations into the sciences of his time, and exchanged ideas with Einstein.
Galileo himself, in addition to being an exceptional mathematician and professor, was philosopher to the Duke of Tuscany. Isaac Newton titled his main work The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. Lamarck, the great French naturalist, when writing his major work, gave it an important title for the philosophy of zoology, at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Philosophy is useful for much and for nothing, as people say who do not even know what they are saying, because they do not understand or do not know the basic functions of philosophical thinking, in all conceivable aspects, in the present world and also in relation to the past and the future.
Philosophy is very useful for mastering language, understanding, understanding and creating knowledge and culture. It enhances written and oral expression. It is indispensable in the search for solutions to the many and diverse problems of our time. It analyzes countless aspects of the reality in which we live and is interested in everything, for example, there is also the philosophy of cinema.
In the time of Pythagoras, philosophy and mathematics were part of what was considered basic or basic knowledge, something that the father of philosophy, Plato, dealt with in the fourth century BC in his Academy, in which he appears, in the introduction to the book. Entrance, no one enters here who does not know mathematics. Aristotle himself, who was a great philosopher, was also able, through his tireless curiosity and great intelligence, to accumulate a great deal of knowledge in various sciences such as biology, zoology, and others. Staggert also became prominent with his extraordinary logical treatises and his writings on physics, metaphysics, politics, and other writings in which he revealed his encyclopedic erudition. Moreover, he was an excellent teacher and a comprehensive and profound scholar, and has left us many more essays on ethics and elsewhere.
Rhetoric, which is very useful, was not only developed by the sophists, but also Socrates, with his extraordinary dialectical ability, through his dialogues and questions, ingeniously questioned the essence and essence of things and truths, which was greatly influenced by his friend Plato.
With the philosophical materialism of Gustavo Bueno, philosophy is a knowledge that criticizes everything and promotes the analysis of reality in all its dimensions, from a strict and technical perspective, as well as the search for material causes of what happens in the present and concern for the past and the future in all its analyzable and countless meanings.
