Human thought. For Jesus Moses Delcid R. moisesdelcid@gmail.com
The human body is the chariot, the I man who drives it, are thinking and feeling the reins of horses. Plato.
One of the hallmarks of the human being is his reasoning or intellectual capacity, which is commonly called thought. Well I mentioned that man is a rational animal to put it another way, the human being is a thinking being.
Little or much men think, and this is an ongoing activity in their lives either consciously or unconsciously the man, to be inserted into a reality that surpasses understanding, strives to find meaning in it, a certainty in she wanders through the world and this comes not from a purely instinctual, but mightily through intellectual activity. To be consistent in human affairs with the purposes of their existence.
"The care of thought lies in seeking truth through human knowledge." Alfonso X.
The man is a titrant, and this assessment draws on the weight of his reasoning to what is presented as beneficial in their development both individually and socially. So some people have decided that the thinking is the ability of trial staff. And to do so in an effort thinking ideas leads to a scenario of logical relationships that result in the denial or affirmation of some aspect, object or person.
Language is the dress of thoughts. Samuel Johnson.
Even though the trial is thought to be, or not yet confirmed truth to what he sees, the care of that disciplined thinking is better known as logic leads us beyond the frenzied activity of thoughts to reach the best truth of personal judgments and statements consistent order, clear, universal, scientific and philosophical. Call speculation.
"If you really understand we came to power, we could not judge." André Malur.
In philosophy, whose watchword is knowledge of things by their causes, is where it comes to knowing the purpose or objectives of the evolution of beings and things. Thought is the activity of human knowing intellect that seeks to understand the purpose of the problems and issues in an intellectual manner, beyond (metaphysics) from simple and utilitarian practical utility of such issues. The objective philosophy epitomizes the personal and objective. George Simmel.
Although it is generally a matter of psychological nature, scientific theories have different explanations confused about thinking in brain activity.
That is why thinking is an activity that a transcendent mostly organic and visceral physiological interaction of electrical impulses in the human brain. Because if so, men would work in an automatic manner and without optional diversity in their decisions of human life. Thinking coupled with bodily activity is bound to a spiritual activity but imperfect, leading to the decision or conclusion on what you think. Thought is the evidence of human fallibility or imperfection, that the thought is the effort in the human intellect in the way of achieving compression in the flow of things. It is in this activity knowing where we realize we know of a way to mediate and not immediate things. And this is where we find the right direction or failure of our ideas. No man can have a thought or representation of something that is not subject to the order of the senses. Thomas Hobbes.
Thinking is the medium in which, in the true philosopher crossover in the structures of their arguments, the relations of ideas. The scientific and philosophical thought is the building orderly, coherent, clear and true in the expression of a philosopher or scientist. This happens with the skills of discernment and creativity. The philosopher thought to quicken embodies the wisdom. That is to say one way or lifestyle where you have to be consistent in what is thought with what is done.
The work of thought is like drilling a well. The water is cloudy at first but then clarified. Chinese proverb.
Thought is the intellectual activity in the acquisition of knowledge about an object.
Be noble in every thought and every action. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The secret ingredient.
The secret ingredient. by: jesus moises Delcid moisesdelcid@gmail.com
"Love is like fire and if it is communicated, it turns off. Anonymous.
Love is a subject of endless discussion and thinking on your definition, of course some more successful than others, but it is important to clarify the sense to avoid confusion with another passion.
Love is the fundamental sentiment and the origin of all other affective states in humans. Because of love we tend to reach for something or someone and either in correspondence or reject the person realizes or feels denigrated
Love is defined as the act of giving. You give yourself to someone and shared others. It is the surrender of the person to be loved or to others in an effort to transcend the lives of those lives, if it means something important in those whom we love.
Yet we have a full love for this feeling is something complete and not a fleeting passion only by obtaining an opaque sensuous pleasure. Love is a very powerful feeling that must be exercised in their understanding and not as a mere pretext to guide man to act impulsively causing more harm than good to himself and to others. True love builds and builds and seeks an understanding of the loved one. The false concept of love as just damaged, destroyed and corrupted by that this is only a fleeting passion of avarice.
Love is more than just a desire or an attempt to escape from reality. Love is a commitment to surrender the same to be properly to life, in order to improve and enhance it and help others.
"Only since I love my life is beautiful, but only since I know that love alive."
Theodor Körner.
True love leads us to perceive life as benign, and in that direction when the human being manifests itself in an enormous vitality and joy constant, due to the power to love and be loved. And his love for building materials in both aspects (people and objects) and intangible issues (truth, understanding, intelligence, spirituality).
Love is a constant element in the universe, that love is in the union and order of beings and things maintaining harmony in a natural way, and existing in harmony in the coexistence of people and of things, when man captures the beauty in natural form in reality. And through his mind that people seek to match the harmony to capture the beauty in the form of artistic works, given through his talent and intellect.
But personal relationships can distinguish love, under the aspect of being loved, of the following ways:
Love sensitive (concupiscence). It is if someone or something is loved for it's good for those who love him. "I love you for that you need."
The love of benevolence: if something or someone is loved by that is good and kind. "I need you I love you".
Love of friendship, if given the affinity or harmony between two people through a healthy coexistence. "Who has a friend is a treasure."
It is therefore important to exercise fully the love, understanding "how willing we are to share with others? But above all, to seek self-improvement through service to our fellow men, in seeking to obtain and defend well.
Love is more noble than being a mere object of desire, goes beyond the fleeting sensations that just fading with age, love is a guide to become better people and find goodness and beauty in others. True love does not degrade over the years if not strengthened and who gives life to manifest.
When love is truly appreciated as Augustine says: "Love and do what you want."
Concluding that love is the secret ingredient of reality and that which distinguishes and exercise in your life, find the true meaning of human life.

The sense of culture.
The sense of culture.by: jesus moises del cid oaks.moisesdelcid@gmail.com
There are varied definitions about the terms of culture, but one of the most frequent use is "the set of lifestyles, customs, knowledge and level of development of artistic, scientific, industrial, at a time or particular social group".
Such definitions, which is denoted by a strong ethnological and sociological aspect, become principles only reflect the behavioral character of certain social groups. But these definitions do not cover in depth the relationship between culture and human nature by changing the definition of culture according to the local and social situation in which it seeks to define.
Whether for practical purposes can be somewhat useful, but to be attached to particular scientific knowledge and philosophical knowledge should go a bit deeper to get a full definition clarifying and universal for all human groups. That despite the diversity of customs and traditions we contain the same natureThat is human nature. Every social group or community, in the end are people interacting with others. Humanity.
It is clear that only the man is the only creature on this planet who does culture. It is also clear that not everything that man does is culture being this for their fallibility, that is it can make mistakes and often intentionally or unconsciously watchful against their own humanity or of others.
Besides the multiplicity of meaning that have been the words or ideas or concepts in the present case also the confusion that exists between various definitions in an attempt to designate the same concept (culture). Being different things, but their close relationship and ignorance on our part became synonyms of just staying in a superfluous reference to anything that leads us in practice and therefore does not clarify our understanding. Such is the example in terms of culture and civilization. That for most people means the same. But although one can not avoid synonymy should be aware that they are different aspects of human reality.
It is thus to be distinguished: that civilization are the manifestations and expressions and creative materials that exist in human society (art, technology, economy, industry, etc.).. Instead the term culture to deepen itself as the cultivation of human knowledge and refinement of the intellectual faculties of man (wisdom, moral, spiritual, etc.)..
As well defines Juan Calderon Louvier "culture is the cultivation by man to all things human ... As the action of man upon nature to promote it and improve it." And again expressed "as the deepest meaning and essence of culture is the cultivation and perfection of human nature." That is, in the development and upgrading of skills and aptitudes of man. Or as the culture defines thinker Max Scheler: "Culture is humanization.
The key factor in the sense that you should save all human culture is in the meaning or definition of man. Clarifying that distinguishes human nature to where that is becoming involved in their search for natural fullness. Thus abiding philosophical principle that "no one loves what he does not know". It is with the clarification of the nature, which means looking good and proper for the fulfillment of that nature in the goodness that makes the being of things. Therefore be understood that the term culture implies a search in the humanization of man, and not just a simple personal training for the mechanical development of individuals within a given society. Therefore not enough human instruction mannerisms of laws, customs or categorical principles, nor reach the cynicism in a large social anarchy. But rather education about human nature tending the cultivation of the values and qualities that are worthy of the person and human existence, ie a precise clarification of the human being. These values come to be: truth, goodness and beauty. Also as a good moral education who make up the community. And referring back to the cauldron Louvier thinker expresses that "the truth about man is the norm authentic culture."
And is that in any given community culture, but to varying degrees of fullness or perfection, and this is evident through the care and love for what the human being. For a crop that kind of human being leads to an equally gracious toward others kindly, cultured human beings.
It is because that culture seeks the fulfillment of man through the cultivation of all aspects that are essential to human nature. As Aristotle expressed that "man is a rational animal." a corporeal being spiritual, so they should be engaged in cultivation of corporeal and spiritual qualities of man to achieve his fulfillment as a human being and this is accomplished through education, love and social harmony which comes to culture. The cultivation of virtues and values that enrich human action.
It is imperative to discern and recognize that not all the events that we see today make up a true human culture if they are not overvalued and emancipation of a unique human aspect. These demonstrations suggest the fullness in just the aspect of human freedom, but only by making use of the term without going in clarifying the true and genuine human nature. Falling to the extremes of violating the condition of his person for the sake of an irrational act of expression. Since these expressions and antisocial behavior.
It is then that the meaning of culture is followed: in which every person found in the society we live free and easy access to the values that can deliver power in this life and reach their full humanity. In a proper social conduct careful to human dignity for herself and her ilk

The Sophists.
The Sophists. By: Jesús del Cid Moses Robles.
In ancient Greece there was a group of intellectuals who called themselves sophists call (the sage of profession). Those who managed to have great influence on the Greek youth as they had large dowry of rhetoric and dialectic.
Quite the opposite of its intended intellectual philosophers was not the pursuit of truth, but rather to achieve a high prestige in his disciples and listeners thus obtaining political hierarchy, social and monetary.
At first, the quip was not considered shameful, but to go degenerating this movement came only dealt with half profit. Manipulating the Greek society and even arguments with false notions only by obtaining some useful material.
Through their education and influence the sophist was considered the intellectual and charismatic image of knowledge. Being appreciated by much of the social elite of Athens.
Sophist thought to the truth depends on the subject of interpretation and vision of each person. Good and evil depend on one's perspective is valued with an event or situation, like the true and false.
"Everything is relative."
"Man is the measure of things."
"The truth does not exist".
"There are no truths, only opinions."
"Each person sees the world in their own way and convenience".
Precursors were exaggerated use of opinion no matter whether these views were absurd and without foundation in reality. Causing extensive damage to education and training of young Greeks.
Sophists were two thinkers who emphasized in this movement Letini Protagoras and Gorgias.
The quip was widely criticized and corrected by the great intellectuals of ancient Greece, but especially by Plato and Aristotle Socrates. Who referred to them as:
Merchants of soul. Socrates.
The Sophist do care about the truth of an instrument of power and wealth, often through deception. Plato.
The sophistication is apparent wisdom, but it is not. Aristotle.
Today we see reflected greatly the Sophistic movement. Especially when we perceive as published lectures, books, articles and other commodity-like personal development. Who with great sentimental arguments used and removed from all true knowledge become excellent networks to profit from society. Regardless of whether they actually help people overcome but simply to gain fame, money and power.
For the sophistry knowledge has a profit, being for the philosopher a path to human fulfillment.

Biography of Plato.
Biography of Plato. Plato (427 B.C. - 347 B.C.). By Jesus Del Cid Moses Robles
Born in Athens his real name was the Aristocles. The nickname of "Plato" as it is popularly known means "broad-shouldered. He was the son of Ariston he belongs to an ancient royal family of Codro. His mother was Perictyone, she belonged to the Athenian aristocracy, as was the descendant of Solon. Plato's education was common to the young Athenians, which consisted of lessons in gymnastics, music, painting, poetry.
Furthermore all young Greeks had to attend "the arena". Place listened to speeches of famous Athenians who had distinguished themselves by their wisdom, their courage in war or success in public affairs. It was there where he had the opportunity to meet Socrates.
But in Plato's philosophical beginnings received instruction from Cratylus, the disciple of Heraclitus. Already when I was 20 years young Plato decided to join the teaching of Socrates. Although Plato was the vocation of politics, it was thanks to the wisdom of Socrates that he felt the rapture of devotion to philosophy.
But experience more affection than Plato was the prosecution, the trial and execution of his master by the enemies of the great Socrates, as was the impression made upon the young man who made several dialogues Plato setting forth the teachings of the Athenian gadfly and the ideas that make the same achievement. Thus, the great Greek master unfolds much as the real Socrates and the Platonic Socrates in Plato's work.
When Socrates died, Plato could not be with him because he had fallen into a strong disease. Later Plato along with other disciples fled towards the town of Megara Euclid where shelter, returning to Athens in 395 BC c.
Plato made several intellectuals to travel for Egypt and Cyrene to learn astronomy and mathematics. I travel to Sicily where he was influenced by the Pythagoreans intellectual acquis adopting its various elements of Pythagoreanism. It was where he befriends Tarentum Archytas.
The influences that received bowl along in his life were those of the following thinkers:
Pythagorean spirituality, the immortality of the soul, metempsychosis or transmigration of the soul, panmatematicismo or explanation of the universe through geometry and mathematics.
Heraclitus drew significant dynamism.
Parmenides taught that true reality is eternal, unchanging and timeless. That the changes perceived by the senses are mere appearances and illusions.
De Socrates about morality and care for the soul. And to reject the false rhetoric of the Sophists.
With the wisdom of Plato, philosophy becomes systematic, orderly and scientific development.
Plato trying to make a political project to improve the government of any city through the authority of a true leader who cares about the material and spiritual welfare of the people. A political and spiritual leader who named philosopher king. But that project was unsuccessful until twice.
In a bowl trip to Syracuse was invited to advise the tyrant Dionysius the old and he accepted by the requests of his friend Dion. But after the tyrant Dionysius developed a severe hatred for the philosopher as this did not utter vain flattery but serious criticism of the acts and orders to exercise the tyrant. Ended up being sold into slavery, after being rescued by his friend Annicerís, a moderate sum of 20 pounds, and returned to Athens.
As Annicerís refused to let him bowl retribuyera the payment of ransom, the philosopher buy with money, gardens next to the temple of the hero Akademos thereby founding the Academy in 387 BC Being the first organized school of philosophy in a pedagogical plan, Plato already had 40 years.
It was at this school where Plato elaborates a range of knowledge gained so far in his life and expressed the strong influences he had received from their guardians. This was demonstrated with a warning placed on the entrance of the academy: "Do not let anyone who does not know geometry." With which indicated an appreciation for the Pythagorean. Duro several years devoted to teaching the disciples to fight against the fallacies of the sophists and sophistry. But Plato still maintained its firm political ideal. As well as to Syracuse again embarked on what was the second son of Dionisio Dionisio old. But as past experience and ended up being rejected by the tyrant captive for about a year when he had the opportunity to flee the city. Over time again Plato to Syracuse back when this city was ruled by his friend Dion, but again fail due to political instability. Return to Athens to stay and teach at the academy until his death. Yet Plato wrote his political model in one of his greatest works The Republic.
Platonic thought was an explanation of beings in a plane and not merely the physical or material issues, with the claim that the model of all things were ideas. Same did not belong to this reality we live, but are in perfect shape in a world above this earthly reality which topus named Uranus.
Plato makes a division between the sensible and intelligible world and in the nature of knowledge: knowledge sensitive (through the senses) and intellectual knowledge (through the intellect or the soul).
For Plato the intelligible world is the real world that becomes the same forms, ideas or models of the things we found in this natural world.
The ideas exist in an ideal world, beyond space and time (mole uranium or hiperuranius). Corporeal things mimic those ideas and share them imperfectly. To make things God sent a Demiurge or inferior god that copies in accordance with the celestial patterns but did not quite right.
In addition to knowledge is obtained not from external things, nor with sense perception. Since these perceptions are mere appearances and things around us and we are only shadows or imperfect copies of the ideal models that are in the hiperuranius. Knowledge in men is a reminiscence or memory, in which the soul remembers more than knowing what I knew before being reincarnated in the present life, as part of the process of metempsychosis (Pythagorean element) or transmigration of souls.
"The human soul is immortal, reborn and never destroyed. Passing from one body to another.
"The soul gives rise again to mind what she already knew about the reality in a past life."
The body is a prison for the soul and spirit that prevents the pursuit of truth.
The body makes sorrowful and impedes the exercise of thought.
"If we launch a clear look at something, we must separate the body and contemplate things in themselves only with the soul."
For Plato the soul pre-exists the body and is immaterial. And the soul takes the body three ways: vegetable soul, animal soul and intellectual soul that is where the exercise of reason and is immortal. And the purification of the soul leads man to the contemplation of the highest wisdom.
The greatest happiness of all mankind is in possession of superior wisdom delight that takes the ideas.
Plato died at age 81 due to illness surrounded by his disciples. Among those was a young man who arrived Stagira the academy with the aim of the love of wisdom. Eventually coming to heighten even more knowledge of Greek philosophy, this young man was Aristotle.
Plato is one of the most influential philosophers have even to this day by both the classical philosophy of this thinker remains a living thought, whose depth and universal truth is not exhausted but flowing through the various branches of science because of their great contributions. Platonic thought is not dead but still alive.

Platonic thought was an explanation of beings in a plane and not merely the physical or material issues, with the claim that the model of all things were ideas. Same did not belong to this reality we live, but are in perfect shape in a world above this earthly reality which topus named Uranus.
Plato makes a division between the sensible and intelligible world and in the nature of knowledge: knowledge sensitive (through the senses) and intellectual knowledge (through the intellect or the soul).
For Plato the intelligible world is the real world that becomes the same forms, ideas or models of the things we found in this natural world.
The ideas exist in an ideal world, beyond space and time (mole uranium or hiperuranius). Corporeal things mimic those ideas and share them imperfectly. To make things God sent a Demiurge or inferior god that copies in accordance with the celestial patterns but did not quite right.
In addition to knowledge is obtained not from external things, nor with sense perception. Since these perceptions are mere appearances and things around us and we are only shadows or imperfect copies of the ideal models that are in the hiperuranius. Knowledge in men is a reminiscence or memory, in which the soul remembers more than knowing what I knew before being reincarnated in the present life, as part of the process of metempsychosis (Pythagorean element) or transmigration of souls.
"The human soul is immortal, reborn and never destroyed. Passing from one body to another.
"The soul gives rise again to mind what she already knew about the reality in a past life."
The body is a prison for the soul and spirit that prevents the pursuit of truth.
The body makes sorrowful and impedes the exercise of thought.
"If we launch a clear look at something, we must separate the body and contemplate things in themselves only with the soul."
For Plato the soul pre-exists the body and is immaterial. And the soul takes the body three ways: vegetable soul, animal soul and intellectual soul that is where the exercise of reason and is immortal. And the purification of the soul leads man to the contemplation of the highest wisdom.
The greatest happiness of all mankind is in possession of superior wisdom delight that takes the ideas.
Plato died at age 81 due to illness surrounded by his disciples. Among those was a young man who arrived Stagira the academy with the aim of the love of wisdom. Eventually coming to heighten even more knowledge of Greek philosophy, this young man was Aristotle.
Plato is one of the most influential philosophers have even to this day by both the classical philosophy of this thinker remains a living thought, whose depth and universal truth is not exhausted but flowing through the various branches of science because of their great contributions. Platonic thought is not dead but still alive.

It is well known that anecdote that suffered such a philosopher of Miletus, in which this thinker, who go looking for the movement of the stars and understand their nature and other issues in the stars, he tripped over a hole in the street giving the floor their wisdom and dignity with any body. By becoming a mockery of the witness this spectacular crash. Above all the fun of this woman who laughed along the blip to the battered position of the great philosopher.
It is clear therefore the lesson that shows us this event and warning us of Miletus taught to future generations of thinkers and philosophers, which is interpreted that this man even with his wisdom and brilliance of genius, although reflections and delve into the most sublime and future of the universe, this man will still find it the most common issues. Characteristic of all human beings.
But justice must be stated that despite the setbacks of the common life man who ventures to the astonishment of the issues of being and knowing, plan their intellect through the constant exercise of good thinking and transcend in his knowledge of a life established on more than simple common situations.
It is not for the life of philosopher boring or tedious activity of life, but instead is a surprisingly steady in the contemplation of the universe to find the knowledge of things by their causes.It is also important to recognize that the philosopher does not deviate from the practical issues of life but deepens benefit beyond the next to find the ultimate cause to take him to a remote view and understanding of pr

that is the homeland?
That is the homeland? by: jesus moises delcid
What is home? Perhaps for many people the answer is simple and practical: "It is my birthplace, the place where I grew up. In official and formal manner that answer is correct, but it should be noted that the concept of home implies a more profound and noble value of which mention is made daily.
Motherland is the land of our fathers, the place of our ancestors. The country symbolizes the roots of the culture in which we grow and educate. It is then that country is the land of home, the place where they are coming from.
In this globalized world should watch to learn the riches of other nations, but they must be aware of who we are and where we come from. That is, the love of our land and it to evoke the mores and values that are reflected in art, work, thought, genius, religion and temperament of the people from which we come to live and share with others.
The country comes to "love the legacy of our ancestors who enriched our culture in areas such as:
Materials
Intellectuals
Spiritual
Morales.
It is love of country, love for the cultural heritage that has been given by our ancestors and we are committed to enriching to leave, the cultural heritage in the hands of future generations to be those who appreciate our accomplishments and achievements .
Thus the concept of homeland contains within it the essence and identity of a people. And which one glimpses the human wealth of the nation. That is, home is the very human identity of the inhabitants of a country from its ancient roots.
Homeland is the human manifestation of where they are coming.
