Human Being Theory. For Dummies. Jacob Feldman

we will analyze the ring.

      Apply ONE: problems without parameters of specific person are controlled by philosophy.

      Apply ONE again: problems with parameters of specific person are controlled by psychology.

      These two areas are poles of the ring.

      I like to place philosophy at the top (at North Pole) and psychology at the bottom (at South Pole). If so, we have two gaps between North and South: one on the West and one on the East.

      It is clear that when we go from psychology to philosophy, we have to eliminate personal data from the problem. We have two options how to do it.

      We can eliminate personal data immediately and go through history and sociology.

      Or we can hold them as long as possible and, in this case, go through child development and educational systems.

      THREE and FOUR operations were applied there.

      And here is the result.

      Second look at the problems

      Look! See, now

      I can hop

Ten Apples Up on Topby Dr.Seuss

      In fact, philosophy is in charge of all these different things. And I mean to say something new about all of them.

      Look at the table. There are three columns in it. Left columns faces at science and deals with knowledge of different kinds. Right column faces at art and deals with values. The column in the middle deals with worldviews.

      Left column contains epistemology, methodology, logics, and law. Right column contains axiology, ethics, aesthetics, and moral. The column in the middle contains ontology, myth, religion, and ideology.

      Fig.9. Knowledge, worldview, values

      When moving from bottom up you see that position of neutral observer is gradually transformed into position of active actor who less and less looks around, but more and more presses on things to make them fit the pattern.

      Philosophy is supposed to be neutral, so we put it at the South. Now, view from the South is philosophical.

      But how can we name the view from the North? I failed to find good name in the language and invented a new one: regulatorics. This is a view of someone who wants to transform the world.

      Add the 12 areas in this chapter to the 7 areas from the previous one and get complete syllabus of the Human Being Theory.

      Why philosophy still in the game?

      Look here, you two!

      See here, you two!

      I can get five on top

      Can you?

Ten Apples Up on Topby Dr.Seuss

      A long, long time ago, when I was a little bit younger, a simple question came in my mind.

      Why philosophy still in game?

      Why people pay for these boring books, why they reprint them?

      I could understand people who pay to listen to violin or to watch olimpic games.

      But philosophy?

      Today I see philosophy as a poor answer for a real question. It looks like unsavory food you eat because you are hungry. But what is a question?

      Ignore what philosophers say about the main question, don’t believe them. The real question must exist before and out of any philosophy.

      Communication

      Fig.10. Message

      Imagine two people in dialog.

      Person A sends to person B a message C about object D.

      You can focus on object. This approach produces science.

      Fig.11. Focus on object

      You can focus on message as a tool to express your opinion etc.. This approach produces art.

      Fig.12. Focus on message, its expressive possibilities

      But imagine a dialog where participants do not understand each other. They want but they cannot for some reason. Probably they have different contexts in their heads. You can focus on these contexts. This approach produces philosophy.

      Fig 13. Contexts differ.

      Between science and philosophy

      I am so good

      I will not stop. Five!

      Now six!

      Now seven on top!

Ten Apples Up on Topby Dr.Seuss

      Suppose you have found some very new idea and you want to tel it to your colleague. But the idea is so radically new that you partner does not understand you. What should you do?

      Probably you should pack your idea into right form? This way leads to logics. Probably you should tell your partner how did you get to this great idea. This way leads to methodology. Probably you should tell your friend where any new ideas come from. This way leads to epistemology. Probably you should tell your friend how this world works. This way leads to ontology.

      But for really new idea all this does not help.

      Unexpected result: next generation of readers will consider you as a serious philosopher.

Ten Apples Up on Topby Dr.Seuss

      Suppose you live your regular life.

      Suppose in some moment of your precious life you feel, that something goes wrong.

      You feel it must be fixed. But how?

      This moment of your life, this point of the space-and-time-and-person, this point and its neighborhood, I call them a problem. The problem is a part of physical world.
