Contradictory Nature of Human Life

Reflection on meeting #2 with Dr Marsigit.
PMAT Kelas C - Semester 1

It’s getting much clearer now, that the rain is gone. 

Reflecting deeply on the contradictory nature of human life, on God’s mercy and justice, on the seasonality of life, the nature of time and many other  aspects of life that continue to engage people in this world, Philosophising helps us to recollect cognitively with reflections and predictions on our experiences and towards our future respectively.

With such categories of experiences at a mature age we become aware of our multipersonality in the physical and spiritual sense so we strive to unite them as one, further specified by Hegel (1873),

The impressions from feeling and perception are, if we look to their contents, a multiplicity or miscellany of elements; and the multiplicity is equally conspicuous in their form. For sense is marked by a mutual exclusion of members; and that under two aspects, namely space and time, which, being the forms, that is to say, the universal type of perception, are themselves a priori. This congeries, afforded by sensation and perception, must however be reduced to an identity or primary synthesi. To accomplish this the ‘I’ brings it in relation to itself and unites it there in one consciousness which Kant calls pure ‘apperception’.

As we understand, there are two aspects of these categories. First by our instrumental perceptions of sense which rises to objectivity and experiences, secondly all these notions are unities in our conciousness. It is clear that our physical nature is somewhat different from our spiritual nature. In which all is governed, monitored or directed by our cognitive abilities. However, there is often clashes between the two categories, because there are laws which govern the two separately.  

Thus, I do understand that the above alone is a small category of Philosophy of life, which will manuever us into the basics of Philosophy of Science. There still is the theory of Gods existence which incorporates his love and mercy. In addition the seasonality of life and the nature of time, which all come under various philosophical theories.

Question for Dr. Marsigit.

Do you think that every adult in this world are aware of this two categories of life that we have?
