Forward Philosophy

Forward Philosophy; directional philosophy developed fully acknowledging the possibility of undergoing a philosophic pursuit in an objective state of mind, as well developed as possible in every different aspect containing the sub-disciplines in philosophy. A direction developed with every tool, techne’, and school being eclectically accounted for in their chosen merits.

Used in a sentence; I always tend to use forward philosophy as a direction when writing a new technique in philosophy.

Forward Philosophy

Forward direction in philosophy is developed to fully acknowledge the possibility of undergoing a philosophic pursuit in an objective state of mind. A philosophy made to be developed in order to expire the full potential of any philosophic content in every different sub-discipline involved in philosophy. Forward philosophy is a direction to be developed with every tool, techne’, and school being eclectically accounted for in the chosen merits by the philosopher leading themselves in this philosophy and direction.

I always tend to use forward philosophy as a direction when writing a new technique in philosophy.

Backwards Philosophy

Being backwards in philosophy is using the most vulgar, insane, terrorizing, antagonizing, and grotesque methods possible or employable in order to establish oneself.

I was using backwards philosophy in direction when I started attacking the helpless while at war.

Climatic Philosophy

Philosophy geared specifically towards addressing the atmosphere of the day and age of the contemporary. Each philosophy is conditioned to addressing the schools and branches in their modern existence. The examples being made are established by modern philosophers and used by societies in their political and social atmosphere.

My climatic philosophy is to stop smoking in order to be environmentally friendly.

Hard Problem of Philosophy

The ultimate "why are we even asking this?" question: Why does philosophy, as an activity, exist at all? Given that science handles facts, math handles logic, and art handles expression, what unique territory does philosophy claim that isn't just pre-scientific guessing or semantic hair-splitting? The hard problem is justifying its own necessity. If a philosophical question ever gets a definitive answer, it typically spins off into a science (e.g., natural philosophy → physics). So, is philosophy just the temporary holding cell for unanswerable questions, or is there a permanent, essential role for reasoned inquiry into fundamentals that can never be empirically resolved?

Example: The question "What is justice?" Science can study how brains perceive fairness, sociology can map its cultural expressions, but the normative essence—what it ought to be—remains philosophical. The hard problem: Does wrestling with that question produce real knowledge, or is it just intellectual shadowboxing? When philosophers debate for 2,500 years without consensus, it looks like failure. But maybe the point isn't to solve it, but to continually refine the asking, preventing societies from becoming complacent with shallow answers. Its value is perpetually in doubt, which is the problem. Hard Problem of Philosophy.
