"El Niño Predicador"
Well for least he is funny, religion thinks that people have to belive in God only by faith, and science make poeple belive in them with proofs. I think that the religion is trying to have proofs too. Catholics use things like miracles or people who sees the virgin to tell peaople they have proofs too, and they are willing to belive in anything even if is a ten year old kid. Besides is comon to say that kids don´t lie so it´s a perfect chance to make people more shure about their religion.
Probably if I say I just saw a virgin I will become famous, because religion has a part of magic too, so they believe in anything that can support their religion, they don´t care who or how, they only care that they help people believing in God. I think this kid id full of sh*t, it´s almost insulting, he could be saying that the world is square and if it agrees with religion the people will still applaud to him, they don´t question anything they just believe what they are told. I think that in general people have to star to question everything so the things they choose to believe become more autentic.

The 3th
Well Aristotle is the last of the famous three philosophers, all of them influence each other but each one had his own idea too. The theory that i like the most about Aristotle is the one of the Polis, because he said that they were just a tool to get a better life. I don’t agree that woman can’t live at a polis but anyway everything else is awesome. We grow up believing in that we -- something to our country, and militars are supposed to defend and the flag is such a big thing, but what really matters is what the polis can do to us. At the end we are only looking for things that can help us, and polis should only work for that, so we can develop socially and politically. We should listen more to Aristotle in this and we should find a way to make polis as useful as it is possible. Aristotle developed more ideas too, about moral, about soul and now much philosophers focus too in that. Aristotle ideas are at the end the basis of our ideas, and its cool to understand where all those crazy ideas come from.

Is soul a product of body functions?
The eternal fight is science against God; I think this is where this question begins. So I think that because scientist has more proofs I’m going to believe them so the answer is yes, to me, soul is part of body functions. God may say that there is this thing that is bodiless which controls feelings but now it just sounds ridiculous. Scientist have proof that feelings occur in a certain part of the brain, and memory in other part, and thinking in other, all of those are only a biological process that now we are able to understand.
I guess that in some part of time people were desesperate to find answers, and science wasn´t so developed as it is now so probably this idea of soul began as an answer to all those questions that were going on. But now we can choose to believe in facts instead of believing in the things that blindly everyone is trying to make you believe.
I know it sucks to stop believing in all that fantasy that people are saying but this fantasy it’s only the easy way but not the right one, it’s better to believe in stuffs that can be proved. So as science says I choose to believe in what they say, soul is a product of body functions, biological processes.

I want stairs long enough to reach the Hyperuranus
In here I´ll try to explain what Plato said about the world and the ideas. First it´s important that we understand that we live in the Gaia, is where we can see and touch everything but even if we are so sure about the existence of things because we can sense them Plato said that what we really see is a reflection of what the real world is, is like watching only the shadow of what the reall world is. The Gaia is not real because is not true, (may be shadows can think and they believe they are real because they dont know that there is a world out there and they are just a mere reflection, that probably happens to us, we dont know other reality so we thing we are real) but there is a place where there are real thing, lets understand the world like a three steps stair first is the Gaia ( where we live) the second step is the Uranus (the sky) and the third stage is the Hyperuranos where the real thing are. I like that Plato can go so far, it must be very hard to believe that what we live its a lie, that its not beatiful and that there is a bigger thing out there that we can´t see (the ideas world). To say that our world is not real is a very risky idea but if we don´t take risk we will never make something big, he probably was taken as crazy by some people but now that we are not so afraid of his ideas we get closer to understand what he was really trying to say.
In Socrates We Trust
Socrates represent the revolution in a time were everything was perfect, I think that is much easier to fight against a wrong society but Socrate´s society looked almost perfect and still he found problems. He was against of the sophist, they were people who get paid by thinking and teaching. In that era the fight between the public and the private education, this make us understand that ussually the big confrontation start very long time ago and that the big problems last forever. In his time he was very polemic because he had a lot of followers but the sophist hated him because he believed in public education. I like that he showed that it didn´t matter if he was only a student but he still had the chance to argument and to question what the teacher said, it shows that it doesn´t matter the position where you´re talking, what really matters is the things we´re saying. What I like too is that he shared his ideas only by talking, he didn´t wrote anything, sometime we think that the only way to spread wisdom is by writing books but to talk is a good way too that shouldn´t be underrated.

Hug A Tree
We may belive that naturalism is just another hippie idea to stop global warming, but we are very wrong if we think that, there is plety of things we don´t know. First this movemente came out a long time ago when a group of thinkers start asking questions about nature, they belivied that nature whas the most important thing and that we should think what nature really is. With this idea of asking what nature is made of a impressive theory came out, the atomic thoery, its amazing that we all know what an atom is but we dont know were the idea came from. This guy called anaximadros said that nature was made of this really small things, like lego, the small thing create different thing and from that came other question (as always in philosophy) ¿if everything is made of the same thing how can a thing be different from other? and the answer was that the pieces were different depending on what they can form. An atom was said that was undivisible but nowdays we know that they can be divisible but anymay we still thing that everything on earth is made of this small pieces. This travel through time made us undertand were does the word atom and all the theory about it came from.

Philosophy?
The last class we understood the real meaning of philosophy. Usually we connect philosophy with any kind of idea too difficult to understand. For me before this class philosophy was only a group of ideas that talked about were we come from and where are we going. At the end it seems that philosophy is de union of two words that mean: love of knowledge. We learned too that philosophy is making questions, but no to answer them; other sciences are the ones who are supposed to answer these questions. Not much people is interested in knowing what philosophy is because they think they have to leave these topic to genius people, they don´t understand that everybody ask questions all the time and that at the end we all think so we all are part of philosophy.
One of the most important facts of philosophy is that it will exist as long as humans exists because philosophy creates problems and questions and each of these creates other new problems and other new questions, so people is really stupid if they think that some day we will find a eternal truth because there will be always new questions to be answer. So at the end we all are part of this thing that will always create problems and these problems are eternal. Humans will always have something to think through, we can always keep our minds busy because there will always be questions to be answer and problems to be solved.
