Is the soul a product of body functions?


I can think about a lot of things in order to say yes to that question, because technically yes, the soul is there the first time we evidence body functions, but mi answer to that question is no...So i think that the soul can't be a product of body functions because for me the soul is something that it already exists and body functions just make that the body and the soul work toguether, a body can't work without the soul because the minute it starts working toguether the soul starts recording everything, your eperiences that are a big part that helps to form your soul. In my opinion the soul already have it's essence and you are (as a part) who you are because of your soul's essence. There is an example that helps me to understand my point of view; the time when our body functions start, the soul is there and creates just one piece that need to work togueter and can't be without the othe part, because it would be just a fisic inactive body, or a soul that can't be part of our society because it just can't comunicate or receive all the information that we get of our surroundings. The body is the one who helps to connect the soul and the actual living experiences, and trough this our soul creates its base that make work our body and do the things that we do with a reason. So when we die, the body stays just as a fisic innactive body because the soul is just no there in the fisic body any more, but it goes somewhere else, maybe in other body.

I think that answers the question, but there is something that i dont understand: If we think our soul keeps finding another body and it never dies, what happens with all the persons that keep coming if there are more people that are born every day that people that die.So that question would be answered if everything worked as the question ...if the soul would be a product of body functions.

go up there and you will find wisdom...Plato


Reflections!
We dont know the truth, and probably we will never know what are we doing here so every theory that we make about our existance and why we are the way we are is valid, no one can judge us about that, so i think that its become more valid when there is more people that thinks that your theory is right. Plato did an interesting theory that explain our world (where we are) as a place that is constructed by the reflections of the hiperuranus that is named Gaia, so nothing where we live in is real there are just reflections, even our mind that is formed just by memories of hiperuranus, after Gaia comes Uranus thtat is like heaven and after that comes the reflection of all that we are living, Hiperuranus, and that is very complex because you ask yourself what happens in Hiperuranus if all our ideas come from there, and if we are like we are and we are just reflections what kind of perception of world should everyone have there or how does everything is formed there. But i guess that is something that just Plato could answer at the end is theory. But this for me, an idea very difficult to believe bescause by my way of seeing everything i am the one who is constructing everything and im the one who is taking the chance and giving my effort to do what i am doing, and how i understand Plato's theory i would be doing nothing here because is just a reflection and think that nothing here is real, is just a reflection is very unreal for me, because i am here in Gaia where nothing is really happening i would be doing nothing because other way i would be in hyperuranus.

socrates ...the firs of 3


In our school if you dont give your opinion or comment a class you should get an x in "desempeños", because now you are suposed to do that. We could thank that to Socrates,

a man who once went to a class of sophists and started to question everithing and intoducing a dialog (he created dialectics) , and this way he tried to teach all the students changing the structure of sophists classes, he was teaching without charging, and that was the opposite of what sophists did because they created schools and you should pay to receive wisdom, so Socrates was against them believing that wisdom should not be charged. And then the word philosopher was invented. Socratea also believed that the key of understand, learn is in societies because that way the groups of people could share things and create a dialog.

Some of the believes that back in the time where not admitted, are now the ones that we use the more, like the thought of socrates that we all have an inner beauty (mind) is very used now to explain the differences that we have at humans.

But at the end we can confirm the idea that we always apreciate somenthing we cant hae any more, after Socrates was forced to commit suicide a lot of different schools appeard that had socrates way of thinking.

phil o sophy?

Love knowledge....
This is not about solving problems, creating answers and be quiet if someone tells you that you have reached the final point and gives you a final answer. This is about understanding fundamental problems, so after that you can question and question again, well this is what philosophers do. Ginving always their point of view based on racional arguments.

So at this point we can say that philosophy is all obout reasoning, thinking and this way it involves or relate everyone to philosophy, because philisophy is thinking and everybody thinks.
So philosophy just gives you the tools so the problem can be solved by...

nature...alism


Is funny how we work sometimes, first we can investigate a lot o things that we dont even need and create things that are not relevant in our daily life, and after all that wasted time we start asking ourselves ¿what is nature made of?, something so important that involve almost everything that surrouds us. But at the end this question created a very important theory that we still using in these times and that is the atomic theory, so this theory explains how we can divide or split matter again and again and again untill we reach the final expression that are called athoms. and its funny how this tiny little pieces con explain us what the esscence of nature is. This theory is valid until now and we still using it to respond basic question on our life.
