| Summary: | Historically known for three major types of philosophy, that developed in parallel in every hu- man civilization, and therefore do not exclude each other, and in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity only complement each other in many different respects: scientific philosophy, anthro- pology and religious philosophy. The more we come to know and deeply immense world around us, the more clearly and insistently arises the main philosophical question: why something exists? After all, it would be easier if there was nothing at all, including the people asking this tricky question. Nevertheless, the world still exists (according to the “anthropic principle”), but, I ask, why? It does not matter, the existence of which there is a speech: the “matter”, “God”, “absolute spirit” or some- thing completely different. That search for an answer to this question (why should something there?) Is the true purpose of philosophy, if at all, the problem is solvable (in the sense of Kant’s “metaphys- ics”). And then there is a special philosophical category “existence”, which requires a special study. |
