What is a dog?
What is Love?
What is definition?
What is life?

Naomba wanaJF tujaribu kuchemsha bongo kujibu maswali haya mafupi ya kifalsafa.
 
Kweli hapa ni kuchemsha ubongo!
'
Sijajua ni kwanini umeuliza kuhusu mbwa,nashindwa kuipata point yako
'
Inawezekana ni kutokana na aina yangu ya kufikiri,nadhani ni kutokana na kuyahusisha hayo mambo matatu,maisha,difinition na love
'
Upendo kwa mapana yake unaweza kuyajibu mengine wakati unauelezea upendo
'
Lakini kwenye maisha nina mashaka kidogo,unaweza ukayaelezea maisha kupitia upendo kwa sehemu lakini si kwa upana unaostahili
'
Au wewe wasemaje?Tunaweza kuanzia hapo!
 
Love is a desire to do good to others.
Life is a shimmering fluctuating,indistinct force,;it is the hub of the senses and the perceptions.
When the basic nature of life returns to its original clarity,that is the end of the turbid imagination of man.
The control of the life princple is very much linked to the control of the imagination. When the life principle becomes steady,the imagination becomes steady.
A dog is the animal taht barks at night to chase thieves from the house.
We cannot define definition,but we can define Socrates,he was reincarnation of pharaoh akhenaton of Egypt.
 

A dog is the animal taht barks at night to chase thieves from the house.

I have an animal (we call it a dog) it never barks.., and it never stay in the house as well as it has never chased anyone, does it mean its not a dog ?

Also my friend has one too, but it chases everyone (even friends) and barks during the day as well as nights, does it mean such an animal its not a dog ? (since it has no characteristics of the animal defined above)

Because he needs Socratic answers by getting people to answer their own questions by making them think...

By the way why do you think they are not Socratic questions

I didnt say that these qn are not Socratic, i just posed a qn as to u y they are named Socratic, Anyway Socrates alikuwa bingwa wa kuuliza maswali na alikuwa anawakera sana watu wa Ugiriki kwa naswali yake
 
Why did you chose those questions?
What is your motivation?
Why did you post them in JF and not in any other forum?
Are those even questions or are you suggesting something?
 
Since aliyeuliza kapigwa-BAN ngoja ninunue Kesi...


What is your motivation?
To indulge people to think and answer their own questions from the questions posed

Why did you post them in JF and not in any other forum?
Being a JF member, we don't know if he did not post on other forums.., also it is alleged this is where great thinkers resides

Are those even questions or are you suggesting something?

Technically since they have a question mark at the end of the statement we can argue they are questions
 
What is a dog?
There are numerous kinds of dogs. Please be specific.

What is Love?
A feeling.

What is definition?
An attempt of describing what something is without mentioning it.

What is life?
Whatever has happened, is happening and will happen to you before you die. In other words life is when you don't have death and death is when you don't have life.

A dog is a philandering man (a.k.a. dawg).
Love is a blissful utopia where hate doesn't exist
Definition is an act of a brainiac trying to show-off
Life is a state of undeath
 
Is a handshake or to put ones hand on someone's body to feel ones temperature, Love ?
Is a handshake a feeling or an action of shaking hands? The act of feeling cannot be equated to the noun of feeling. "Feeling" and "A feeling" are very different things, hence sun wu my description of love still stands!

Therefore if I sit besides the fire to have a "A feeling of warmth" am I feeling the love.... ?

You have said it yourself compadre, when sitting beside the fire you are having "a feeling of WARMTH", not "a feeling of LOVE"
Thus "Love" is still a feeling!!

In your definition you said love is "a feeling"
but we have elaborated that , warmth, hate and many more things they are also a feeling

Therefore to put it bluntly all feelings or "a feeling) are not necessarily love.., hence your deduction does not hold water.., (needs more elaboration)... as you know a dog is a four legged animal..., although all four legged animals are not dogs as well as there are dogs with three legs (amputated ones...)
 
What is definition?
An attempt of describing what something is without mentioning it.

Is the following extract not a definition, (remember a term to be defined has been mentioned in the statement)

A definition is a statement that explains the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols).
