“Philosophy is the science which considers truth”

Alright, I have gotten heavily interested in philosophy the last month or two, and I would love it if you all would write me a little something about it.

There are tons of philosophies out there,because the great thing about philosophy, is that it can never be wrong, anyone can make up anything they want, slap a title on it, and call it philosophy.

So here are your options,
you can write about an existing philosophy, such as,
Romanticism,
realism,
absurd-ism,
anything already out there.

OR
you can make up your own and tell me about it.

There are no rules for this contest, since as I stated previously, Philosophy is whatever you want it to be.

All I want you to do, is write the name of the philosophy you picked or created in your author notes.

Thanks, and good luck!

  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 66, Bronze: 20, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    This was really difficult for me to judge.

    I honestly was very happy with all of the entries, there wasn't a single one that I read and automatically knew wouldn't win.

    It was tough, but I'm very satisfied with the winners, and the rest of you did amazingly as well.

    You all are so incredibly talented.

    Thank you so much!

      "objective hate"?

      all hate is subjective. my love is your hate and vise versa
      maybe violence is abhorred by everybody but some people love it. ouch ouch

      all sentiments are ALWAYS subjective
      even insanity, pain, cruelty

      sorry
