Augustinian Christian Philosophy
AUGUSTINIAN CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY How does Christianity bear on philosophy? Is there such a thing as Christian philosophy, or are there only Christians who are also philoso phers? How should Christianity and philosophy be related? Should they be related? In "Advice to Christian Philosophers" I said that Christian philosophers should display more autonomy: they have their own fish to fry, their own projects to pursue, (or their own axes to grind, as some might prefer to put it). Here I want to say more about what these projects (or fish, or axes) are like. And the right way to think about these matters, so it seems to me, is broadly Augustinian. Accordingly, I want to propose a program matic sketch (a very programmatic sketch) of a conception of Christian philosophy that grows out of some central Augustinian emphases. I don't claim, however, that Augustine in fact thought of Christian philosophy the way I shall suggest. The primary focus of my paper is not historical (that would in any event be beyond my competence); what I want to do is make a suggestion as to how we should think about Christian philosophy now; but this way of thinking of the matter grows out of Augustinian roots.! It's worth noting, furthermore, that what is at issue is not just a way of thinking about Christianity and philosophy, but about Christianity and scholarship more generally. There are at least four elements in Augustinian Christian philosophy. The first two of these are widely recognized and relatively uncontroversial: I shall therefore be brief about them. -

Philosophy in Contemporary Time: Relevance Vs. Public Perception
Mgbakoigba, Journal of African Studies. Vol.6 No.1. July 2016 PHILOSOPHY IN CONTEMPORARY TIME: RELEVANCE VS. PUBLIC PERCEPTION C.O. Abakare & V.C. Okeke Abstract What is the relevance of philosophy in this contemporary time? Philosophy is viewed by many people as an irrelevant discipline- one of no social and/or practical significance. It is sometimes seen also as an abstract and drab enterprise fit only for the intellectuals. Overtime also, philosophy has come to be perceived as having enjoyed its relevance in the past and no longer has any relevance in this era of “science and technology”. However, certain questions arise: Given this perception, is philosophy actually of any relevance to the contemporary society? In practical terms, what are the roles of philosophy to society? Using the traditional philosophical method of analysis and exposition, this paper finds that philosophy plays and continues to play a vital role in contemporary society. The paper submits that philosophy is essential for an all- encompassing human development. As philosophy trains the human mind to reason correctly and rationally, the paper recommends a little bit of philosophy for all in the different levels of the educational sector. This proper training of the human mind with the tool of philosophy translates to human cum societal enhancement. Keywords: Philosophy, Contemporary, Reason, Public Perception, Societal Development Introduction Philosophy, as an area of study is nowadays attracting a lot of lack of patronage for the singular reason that it does not put “food on the table nor does it build bridges”. This is a manner of describing the common place opinion that philosophy is an abstract “speculative reasoning or exercise about cosmos or reality and thus has no direct relevance or contribution to make in practical issues of human existence”1. -

Philosophy Through Film: the Matrix (1999)
Philosophy through Film: The Matrix (1999) What is REAL and how do we KNOW? Philosophy is about asking questions, and understanding how people have tried to answer very broad questions. An Introduction to METAPHYSICS and EPISTEMOLOGY In The Matrix (Andy and Larry Wachowski, 1999) Keanu Reeves plays a computer programmer who leads a double life as a hacker called Neo. After receiving cryptic messages on his computer monitor, Neo begins to search for Morpheus (Laurence Fishburn), the leader of a resistance group, who he believes is responsible for the messages. Eventually, Neo finds Morpheus, and is then told that reality is actually very different from what he perceives it to be. Morpheus tells Neo that human existence is merely an illusion. In reality, humans are being ‘farmed’ as a source of energy by a race of sentient, malevolent machines. People actually live their entire lives in pods, with their brains being fed sensory stimuli which give them the illusion of leading ‘ordinary’ lives. Morpheus explains that, up until then, the ‘reality’ perceived by Neo is actually ‘a computer‐generated dream world…a neural interactive simulation’ called The Matrix. Watch the clips from The Matrix and think about the following three questions: What is REAL? What can we KNOW? If this film is meant to teach us something about life, what is its message? Read the quotations and answer the questions in the space provided. 1) What is ‘real’ for Neo? Is he right? “What is real? How do you define ‘real’? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then ‘real’ is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain”. -
The Philqsophy of Nature of Kant, Schelling and Hegel

London, New York: Routledge 2010, 64—‘l03 3 THE PHILQSOPHY OF NATURE OF KANT, SCHELLING AND HEGEL UFE‘' (“Fm -z =sSb:3Sl.C/J Q;r-Q3SE.SD...cs -a Translated by Patrick Leland Introduction Man, though himself a child of nature, is — in Herder’s words — a freed man of nature. Through reason he is able to disentangle himself from natural compulsions and adapt nature to his needs. Admittedly, that also means his relation to nature is not thoroughly determined by nature but rather is precariously open. Reason is thus continuously required to clarify and justify anew man’s relation to nature. In other words, it is constitutive of man that he has a concept of nature and hence also a fundamental need for a philosophy of nature. It is no accident that in the Ionian world the philosophy of nature was “the form in which philosophy as such was born” (Wahsner ZOOZ: 9). In this respect, it is surprising that the present age, which more than any previous era is determined by the results and applications of scientific research, has not developed a thoroughgoing philosophy of nature. Instead, it is the philosophy of science, or philo- sophical reflection on the foundations of natural science, which — prepared already in the second half of the nineteenth century — has attained a truly epochal status during the twentieth century and continues to dominate contemporary philosophy. As the latter has allowed the philosophy ofscience to supersede the philosophy ofnature, it has neglected to develop a concept of nature adequate for our time. -

Shared Experience and Sensibility I: Introduction One of the Most
Shared Experience and Sensibility I: Introduction One of the most wellknown and influential theses of Immanuel Kant’s critical philosophical period is his doctrine of Transcendental Idealism. This doctrine, when reduced to its essentials, makes a single bold and influential claim: we can know appearances but not thingsinthemselves. However, the details of Transcendental Idealism often result in more division among scholars than agreement. At the heart of Kant’s theoretical philosophy are two important claims about how humans beings structure experience, and one about how they do not. First, humans have two forms of sensibility in which all sense data must be presented: space and time. Thus, all intuitions1 are intuitions of objects in space and time. Second, humans structure and think about their perceptions (i.e. make objective judgements of experience) by making use of the a priori Pure Concepts of the Understanding, or the categories. The categories provide rules for experience; for example: Every alteration has a cause (CPR, B45)2. Together, the forms of intuition and the categories provide conditions on the possibility of experience. Put another way, all experience is experience of objects in space and time which are in accord with the categories. Experience is not experience of thingsinthemselves. This essay deals with shared human experience—that is, experience of the same object(s) or event(s) shared by two different individuals. In particular, it seeks to investigate what is required for a numericallyidentical experience of the world. Throughout Kant’s early and critical writings, the topic is seemingly important, though seldom, if ever, brought to the foreground of discussion.
