Beschreibung

This book comes from a personal philosophy, which however could easily be considered as a point of reference for that of many others: everyone should define his/her own, and can also take inspiration from this one. It could be defined as a "religious philosophy". The work is divided into three sections: the first booklet was published previously, and lists all the main topics. It was written in a burst, in a short and emphatic style; it is reported in the original version, because that allows us to better follow the evolution of the author's thoughts, of improving any initial error. The second part consists of a dialogue explaining and, indeed, perfecting the same themes of the first booklet, to which it makes numerous references. In the third part you can detach yourself a bit from the theory and enjoy some short stories. Only partially, however, as within them there will always be the character of a sage who has the task of confirming the philosophical concepts expressed before, but facing situations closer to reality, even if only literary. The language used as well as the contents have many novelties for who is acquainted with the style of north-western philosophies, and for this reason he or she could remain dissatisfied, and criticize some aspects of the work. Another type of reader may instead be disoriented by the frequent use of some rather obscure terms, such as "amoral"; however, one of the principles of the style used is simplicity. One could judge the essay, both in form and content, as "immature" compared to current essays, but, in the author's opinion, this represents a strong point, as it constitutes the vision of a neutral and external observer, which is an innovative factor. The book is not organized in a way to represent a systematic exposition: as in the ancient greek philosophical schools, it should only serve to support meetings and direct dialogue, thus constituting a starting point, rather than an arrival point. The ideal context for the development of this philosophy of life is precisely that of the just mentioned ancient greek world, in which, however, everyone can contribute to intellectual and spiritual growth, and starts from the same level: women and men, cultured and not, young and old (except children). Because potentially everyone is perfect. Back cover Mel Fed was born in the last century in Italy. Despite having graduated and living in the centre of cities, he has by choice decided to stay ideally outside of the world, maintaining only minimal contact and knowledge of all elements of the societies' culture. This book derives from his personal philosophy, which however could easily be considered as a referring point for that of many others: everyone should define his/her own, and can also take inspiration from this one. It could be defined as a "religious philosophy".

Introduction

This book comes from a personal philosophy, which however could easily be considered as a point of reference for that of many others: everyone should define his/her own, and can also take inspiration from this one. It could be defined as a "religious philosophy".

The work is divided into three sections: the first booklet was published previously, and lists all the main topics. It was written in a burst, in a short and emphatic style; it is reported in the original version, because that allows us to better follow the evolution of the author's thoughts, of improving any initial error.

The second part consists of a dialogue explaining and, indeed, perfecting the same themes of the first booklet, to which it makes numerous references.

In the third part you can detach yourself a bit from the theory and enjoy some short stories. Only partially, however, as within them there will always be the character of a sage who has the task of confirming the philosophical concepts expressed before, but facing situations closer to reality, even if only literary.

The language used as well as the contents have many novelties for who is acquainted with the style of north-western philosophies, and for this reason he or she could remain dissatisfied, and criticize some aspects of the work.

Philosophy of Perfection

+  +  +  +  +

FIRST BOOK

+  +  +  +  + 

1.2 - Philosophy of Life

New discipline that deals with the Reasoning structure of a thinking individual, from his Principles and Values (his Soul), to the schemes, up to the most practical behaviors. Making a comparison between the computer and the human, it is the "software" of the latter.

It could be defined as "Morality", a word that derives its meaning from "Behavior", and indeed this space deals with everything that the individual is ready to do, say and think. Defining it in this way, however, we must remember that the term "Morality" is a bit misleading, because it is linked (in fact, see the concept of "Immoral") to Good and Evil, while we are interested in a term that describes good or bad, but also neither good nor bad behaviours.

We also thought that, given its importance, a new term could be coined, "Psychophilosophy", which would therefore be synonymous with "Philosophy of Life" and "Individual Morality", all concepts that can be understood both as a study discipline and in the sense structure of Thought of a specific individual, thus being able to say for example: "my Psychophilosophy is oriented to Perfection", or "to Good", or "to Pleasure"...

1.3 - Beyond Good and Evil

Our Philosophy is opposed to Christianity which puts the Good-Evil combination at the apex, proposing the Good but assuming Evil as necessary. In the Philosophy of Perfection, Evil and Suffering, simply, are forms of Error, to be overshadowed in order to aspire to a higher goal.

In the past we were misled by Nietzsche's book which has the same title of the present chapter: but he doesn’t go "beyond Good and Evil" at all; followed by Nazism, he simply goes "beyond the Good" to reach Evil.

He, living in a society profoundly influenced by Christianity that opposes Evil and supports the law of Good, rebels as a dissatisfied and capricious child against this law and presents the opposite revolutionary possibility, failing with its nazi friends in the end inevitably. But it is a superficial rebellion, which doesn’t go to the bottom in criticizing the question, to make it overcome by another more important as we do, that is, the achievement of Perfection.

Cons: Christianity and Nazism.

1.4 - Perfection of Reasoning

Logic makes it possible to classify statements or reasonings as wrong, mistaken, contradictory, inconsistent. The rest are perfect.

In some cases Perfection is Unique, in other cases perfections are many, but the Truth whether something is wrong or not, is always Unique and absolute.

For example, if one says "1+1=3", or "I only drink water and sometimes I drink wine" he makes absolute errors, while saying "5+2=7" or "I only drink water and I like wine" is not wrong in an absolute sense.

The absolute Truth is that the first statements are wrong.

This Philosophy is therefore Monist, believes in one thing, Truth, and is opposed to Dualisms (for example Christianity, which believes both in Evil and in Good, that is in contradiction, therefore in Error) and to Pluralism, for which everything is relative, and believes in everything and nothing.

Cons: Christianity (dualist), present Society (pluralist).

1.5 - Origin from Nothing

To be perfect in Reasoning, it is necessary to proceed backwards simplifying and purifying it to its origin, the Nothing. The Nothing is perfect by definition, because since there is nothing there is not even the Error, that is the only thing that makes Perfection lack (because ours is a negative Philosophy, it aims to deny what is false, and only consequently it affirms what is true).

Starting from the Nothing, Reasoning can proceed, in a way that is immune from the contagion of pre-established patterns and prejudices.

To understand the foundation of our Philosophy of Life we must imagine that we are the "Man who fell on Earth" and feel his very first sensations. Then proceed from those in a perspective of coherence, without radical changes of which the story of Genesis in the Bible is a symbol, where God inexplicably forbids eating a tasty apple.

Pros: Zen Buddhism.

Cons: Mediterranean religions (because historical).

1.6 - Individual Perfection

Like the theoretical perfection of Reasoning, the practice of finding a perfect Reasoning structure in an individual also exists, and it is not difficult to achieve. It can be equivalent in frequency to individuals who attain enlightenment in Buddhism. Just want it and be simple. Simplicity is the antidote to Error.

Characteristics of which Perfection consists are: Coherence, Perseverance, Simplicity, Equilibrium, Truth, Harmony, Precision, Clarity, non-touchiness, Completeness.

Clarity: it refers to the individual's relationship with the outside world, but in the first place it concerns himself with himself: there must be no dark mental spaces (for example deriving from the action of the unconscious), and it should be possible to explain everything. If you have dark spaces, the important thing is to be sure that they can be defeated, and that total Clarity is possible.

Truth: we are not referring to the moral question of "telling the truth", because the important thing is to be honest with yourself; instead in many cases this does not happen, and by wearing masks or using contradictory symbols, you no longer understand who you are.

Equilibrium: to deal with this characteristic, we quote the question of the symbol of the cross. What is the symbology that best expresses Balance? Therefore, to express balanced strength a man must find himself in a difficult situation, which tests his Equilibrium, and a narrow path is the emblem of this situation. So he has to stand with his legs tight and automatically he will spread his arms. In other words, the tightrope walker is the most suitable symbolic position to express the balanced and therefore perfect man. That is, it just happens to be the cross!

It is no coincidence that christian theologians chose it as a symbol for them: it was to prevent the hypothetical imposition of the symbol of Perfection!

Pros: Zen Buddhism, Epicureans (both see the Sages as possible figures reaching the divine level).

Cons: Christianity (which places at the top a figure opposed to Balance such as the suffering Christ).

1.8 - Passion and Rationality

Our Philosophy disagrees with many others, which in order to obtain Happiness and Spiritual elevation invite us to renounce to desires and passions, or consider Passion as an alternative to Rationality.

Since Passion is part of the human instinct, suppressing it would make the individual lacking Completeness. But the latter is an element of Perfection so to be perfect one must express his Passion at one hundred per cent.

But obviously also Rationality is an element of Perfection, therefore an inner conflict will occur, that the individual with his strength must face and overcome, finally expressing fully both elements.

Furthermore, it must be said that Passion enhances everyone's path to elevation: by testing the individual, its presence is like an obstacle, which, if opposed and overcome, gives more value to its Perfection.

Pros: Islam (which, however, lacks Rationality).

Cons: Ancient Greek Philosophies, Buddhism, Christianity and Nazism.

1.9 - Family

The formation of heterosexual couples is supported still as a matter of Completeness of the individual's Spirituality, which finds the maximum intimacy in the group of minimum possible number and the maximum difference in the nature of the opposite gender. In no other type of group can the individual's Awareness grow to a maximum extent as in this one. If the man-woman couple also generate children who belong to them as characteristics, this solidifies the initial relationship.

It should be noted that our Philosophy gives the woman a fundamental intellectual and spiritual role, but it despises feminism in its way contrary to the achievement of the Awareness of one's own nature.

Cons: Ancient Greek Philosophies (for homosexuality), Buddhism (for monasticism), Christianity (for the impurity of the holy family and for celibacy), Nazism (for military celibacy).
