I was just reading through some of the posts here in the philosophy section and noticed that many of the threads pose speculation in regard to 'evolution', the 'afterlife', alternate realities and such. I have trouble pondering such things as they are not conducive if you don't have a 'faith' or framework to apply it to. I think I also find it a little difficult contributing to many threads because I don't have a specific philosophical framework, I can speculate many different possibilities just for fun, but I know nothing certain, and because of this I don't post (not just this forum but in others too)
I would like to pose a two part question:
A: To what extent can one 'know themselves'?
&
B: We are born and we die. What do we do with the bit in the middle?
I'm looking for your responses based on your philosophical perspectives, and perhaps this can even enlighten some of us (mainly me
) who seem to drift on the path of 'what is philosophy'
