Good of philosophy for the soul?
What good is philosophy for the soul? What places does it have in life?
I struggle with those questions on and off for years now. I wish someone could really help me to see the good, because sometimes philosophy just gets boring....like when I was arguing with my friend about the objectivity of color. Are colors objective or are they not? He says no way...they are in the mind. I say, You goof!! The cannot be there!! The mind is not a physical thing....so how can it have color "in" it. Or the brain you say? How dumb!!! Cut open my head to find the green I looked at yesterday....or even a week ago. It isn't "in" there either!!! So, where is it: In the world. Big problems? Sometimes I think, WHO CARES!!!! That is at least how I feel most of the time.
But perhaps it does have a good purpose....that I cannot see off hand...perhaps I should fight tooth and nail about what I think.....because maybe it effects their soul.
