promenyI had this weird thought yesterday that actually revealed a lot to me. I came to the fact that ontologies, philosophical systems and other systems of thought and belief actually limit one's thoughts, not expand them. They tend to shun anything that goes against their axiomatic foundations and they usually ignore or shut out the unknowable. When thinking in this manner, it is good to not be entirely fixated or devoted to a particular system.
I think my personal challenge that I want to take on is that I want to develop a philosophical system that would embrace the unknowable, and wouldn't limit thoughts. But to do so, would it even be possible? Perhaps having even a handful of axioms alone would make up the points, sides and edges of a metaphysical box that would automatically dismiss anything that was outside of it as being absurd.
Anyway, that is just something to think about.
I got out the Dreamcast and played PSO while drinking a diet energy drink yesterday. That was actually really fun. Yeah, boring in comparison to developing a philosophy, but sometimes you can't philosophize.
