Theme 1 - Reflection

During the seminar I realized that it’s easier to understand philosophy in Swedish comparatively with the English, just because of the why of discussing it aren’t the same.  Comparatively to the first contact with this theme, I have learned much and understand it more clearly now. But still, it's much more to analyze and enter deeper in.

We talked much about to see the world though a lens or glasses. We see through our minds not with them, through our souls. I'll agreeing with this argues because I recognize my own experiences in the way of learning. Knowledge become more clear in the way of that we render an accurate picture of the world. We have to build our own world combined with our lifestyles, experiences and the way we learn. Time, space, substance, qualities are experiences that are in it self, the way we experiences the world and how se separate it from others.

The first sensory need a reference to build knowledge. We could not describe knowledge if we don’t know what it is. In the way of describe it, it’s often a form of many examples; then unfortunately we know what it is. Even if we think it’s hard, we somewhere know what it is and can describe it but not explain it.

In the end of the seminar we talked about a paradigm shift in the way of seen the world in two perspectives. First one is “how the wind blowing in the trees” compared to in the way of science as the “pressure between two places”. In about hundreds of years ago, wee saw the distance between two places totally different from now. The traveling time is now far from hundred years ago. We experience the time and space differently in relation to the development of the technology, society and the urban economy. That will contribute to further development of our experience of the world. Sooner or later we will see flying as something slow, and the time to do something reach a new level.

  1. Interesting reflection. This is the first reflection from someone who isn't from the same seminar group as me so I see you talked about some other things than we did. Your reflection made me think of, what is time? Does time really exist or is it something we invented to bring order into our societies? And how did we decide how long a second, minute, hour is? Because as you said the sense of time is very dependent on the surrounding world but also the conscience. When we are occupied, we sense that time goes by fast, but when we are bored the time goes slower. So to bring order we count time as a new day when the sun goes up. But maybe the earths spins like a mechanical machine repetitively and "time" stands still in reality?
