§.1. De philosophia

When somebody/or even myself/ ask me the question: ‘What is Philosophy?” we ascertain that we understand without difficulty the question, and, even we “feel” a the set of answers, but we are in a real difficulty to express immediately this set of enounces in a satisfactory reasonable manner.

Philosophy is a dominant feature of the MAN/Homo/¹ operationally defined by the articled (inter-active) questions/Questionis/ and*** by their (idem) answers tried/advocated/ argumented logically:

- a. what² is MAN/HOMO/? =>

a satisfactory³ definition⁴/description⁵ of HIS essential, real/perceivable, de facto maximally complex existence: material, spiritual (reason, feeling, intuition, willingness, awareness/consciousness/ – Homo conscius), individual & communitarean/ MAN & MANKIND/, per se/in itself/, MAN & MANKIND versus extra-

MAN/MANKIND (Physis/Natura/⁶, trans MAN⁷; the insulation, the contacts);

- b. what² is HIS origin? => the genesis in space (topos<situs) and time (cronos<tempus);

- c. what² is HIS evolution? => in Space (topos<situs) & in Time (cronos<tempus: structural metamorphosis).

- d. what² is HIS goal/place⁸/ in the Universe? => HIS (relative) complexity – simplicity – uniquenes⁹:

d.1. with regard to HIS own judgement: personal ego, ego-s of another antropos^10,11,

d.2. with regard to another frames of references which can/could be conceived or imagined^12,7 angels, devils, spirits; transhuman (real/hypothetical) entities, godesses, GOD¹¹,

d.3. His possible^12,13 place/role/ in the design of trans HOMO/AlienS from the All/ in the “Strategy and¹⁴ of The Tactics Big Anonimous¹⁴/GOD/ – Universal Spirit, Creator Maker, Nature, The mysterious omnipotent Person/Entity/ which is in all the thinks (in past, present, future) and, concomitently, is over all the thinks^11,14.

§.2. Philosophia perenis

The slogan/enounce¹⁴/ eº ‘All the men/unique persons^9,15,16/ make (sometimes¹⁷ in their terrestrial life¹⁶ – consciously/half consciously/ - Philosophy ‘ – is considered^S an evidence; thus I postulate: it is an evidence – assumed axiom of this discours/alocution/ –, statement which define in verbum^14,**** MAN/HOMO/ as HOMO PHILOSOPHANS.

In consequentia all the relevant antropic activities has reach to their philosohies¹⁶: philosophy of Science, of work, of Politics, of Love, of Creed, … of Technique … et al.

§.3 Axiological perspective

The manner in which is viewed/lectured/ considered the Philosophy – modus vivendi of Homo Philosophans – in very different¹⁶:

- a. for the same person of reference, P_^^18,19, during his terrestrial life¹⁶,

- b. for qualified/not qualified²⁰ philosophers: scholars, profesionists, schools/currents/, positions^19,21 in motion – included in the vast History of Philosophy.

We postulate the axiological perspective¹⁹ => Homo make permanently²² elections/options/, some of them achieved in judgements¹⁹/: is a conscious (vivid, spiritualized) being²² which, on the basis of some defined/guessed, intuited Values, operate (in mente cum anima) valuation. We define and express in verbum this axial structure of MAN by e ºHomo Aestimans atque Ierarhicus/Axiologicus/.

Homo achieve his destiny not in Physis²³, not in Bionatura²³ but in AXIOS!^11,23,24.

§.4. AXIOS

The realm Axios is complex²⁵

A. Auto-thelical Values: Cardinal²⁶ Values²⁷ ® by each of them can be reached the Sublime, i.e. the humanized climax/^14,28 which is not perfection²⁸ but “brilliant”, marvelous.

– a. The Truth => the work/living within Truth is Science = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Sapiens Scientifer.

– b. The Moral/Goodness/ => the work/living/ within Goodness is Moral/Ethics/ = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Cogitans/Eticus.

– c. The Beauty => the work/living/ within Beauty is Art = the axiological. hypostasis is named Homo Aesteticus.

– d. The Love^29, (of himself: Narcis; of another person: man « women^AB « child³¹ « friend) => the work/living/ within Love is Loveness = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Amans.

– e. The Meditation => the work/living/ within Meditation is Philosophy = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Philosophans (systematically; accidentally: philosophers, respectively philosophants, dexterous clever speculators,

_________________________________________________________________________________

***.Questions & answers organically unified in a spiritual activity: the modus vivendi of Homo Philosophans (philosophers, philosophants).

****. A poor human expression/attempt to express in verbum.

I. By us; we suppose also by you!

meditative persons; Homo is considered the centrum/Axis³² Mundi/ – i.e all the problems are relativisated with regard this point of view; even (conventionally: ex definitio antropical) GOD, Natura, trans/infra Homo are considered (in analysis, synthesis; actio, praxis) from this basis.

– f. The creed/Creddo/ => the work/living/ within Creed/Creddo/ is Religion = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Religiosus (Pius³³ Fides³⁴): TEO/GOD/Spiritualized Nature/ is really the Centrum/Axis³⁵ Mundi, i.e. all the problems (conceived by men/Homo/ are, absolutely, in the being of GOD)³⁵; but men /Homo/ cannot³⁶ depass their own condition (no man³⁷ are/could be God; Homo is protected/endowed by God, revealed by God); thus, compulsory, the men/Homo/ conceive/consider (in analysis, synthesis; actio, praxis) the Godness/Divine hypostasis/ only in their limited antropical frame of reference: as believers (fervent, moderate; atheistical, deistical)^33,34.

B. Mean-values: are in Important³⁸: directional values, they actually make possible the achievement³⁹ in real existence of men of the auto-thelical values/valuations.

- a. the economic =>the work/living/ within Economic/economical value/ is Economy/Ekonomia/ = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Economicus^40,41,42,43;

- b. the politic => the work/living/ within Politics/political value⁴⁴/ is Politika = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Politicus^40,45;

- c. the labour => the work/living/ within Labour/laboural value/is Ergonomy = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Laborans⁴⁶;

^- d. the Action => the work/living/ within action /actional value⁴⁶/ is = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Agens; in a strong sense Homo Militans ^47,48;

^- e. the technique => the work/living/ within Technique/technical value/ is Technique/Téchnika/ = the axiological hypostasis is named Homo Tehnicus; the Technika is the set-summ/⁴⁹ system, compositum/ of techniques (with their specificities/tehno-logies/: methods, procedures, with their Logos/think/ (modal logie⁵⁰: Tehno-logia; the polimorphical work in Tehnika generate/are expressed/ by the peculiar axiological hypostatis named = Homo faber⁵¹, Homo artefactor /artifex/, /machinarium/;

- f. et al. => the work/living within them are speaking Euphoria, calculation, organization, mobility, commerce, defence & agression et al = the axiological hypostases are named Homo Locvens ⁵², Homo Ludens⁵², … /Ridens/Felix/, Homo matematicus⁵³, Homo ciberneticus⁵³, Homo viator⁵³/mobilis⁵⁴/, Homo mercator⁵³, Homo militarius⁵³, etc.⁵⁵.

C. Crossing-Values => are realistic value-ations operated in the “flow of lifes”/flumen vitae/ circumstantial casus; the practicants, and the theorists conceive in abstracto, proceed in concretto, various mixtures/axio-mixtum compositum/ of various adequate complexity; these mixtums are often rough⁵⁶ expressions of the real sophisticated organigram of some factual situations – the auto-theical values ⁵⁷ and the mean-values, ⁵⁷, are, intrinsically, not completely separated⁵⁸ but organically coupled (influences, sinergias; systemic connections): it exists in all the major antropical activities (ruled/dominated) by auto-thelical values, , some not pure influence, of mean-value, ,/mean-values aspects/: economical, political, technical, laboural/ergonomical/ et al.

=============================================================================

Exemple. The technical & techno-logia-l aspects in:

a. science = organons/instrumentums/ et al., various, material apparatus, operational/matriceal/ calculus, et al.

b. arts = technical quality (concertos, pictures, architecture, drawing, retorica, ars poetica, et al.)

c. moral = moral exercises, normas, dogmas, canons/ordeals/, exercitio espiritual⁵⁹, et al.

d. love = ars amandi⁶⁰, sex training, family guides, et al.

e. meditatio = silogistical rules, homo significans (locvens: in verbum; in scriptum), homo problematicus (science of interogations, argumentation, presentation, et al., rethoric, didactic, et al.

f. creed = modus-es to realize the communion believer « /priest/ « God (religare, comunicare; devotional practices, dogmatics et al.).

=============================================================================

Mixed values/valuation/ axio mixtum compositum of various adequate complexity⁶¹: men need these “amalgamation” to face/cope with the intricate reality⁶²; these mixages⁶¹ are often only roughtly⁵⁶ expressions of the real sophisticated organigram of some factual situation.

=============================================================================

Example

{Homo Cogitans/Philosophans & Religiosus/ « Homo Sapiens Scientifer Û Homo tehnicus-tehnologicus « economicus « /laborans, agens, militans⁶²/ « politicus⁶³ (militans, militarius,^64,65 …); et al.

=============================================================================

The values – the basic, the mixed, – defined, postulated, are used in valuations of various human activities.

§.5. Culture – Civilisation

Man/Homo/ is⁶⁶ organically => Creator – producer – consumer of axio goods products/items/fructum/ of Culture & Civilization = this axiological mixtured hypostasis is named Homo creator, Homo productor, Homo consumans.

They are in usum several definition of Culture & Civilisation⁶⁷: more or less equivalent; often used with some ambiguous meanings (confused; in accordance/in oppositions, et al.).

The axiological-definition =>

a) Culture, C, => the set and dynamics (individual < social) of auto-thelical Values, , in pure sense < in crossing sense < in mixed sense⁶⁸,

b) Civilisation, C, => the set and dynamics (individual < social) al mean – values, ; in pure sense⁶⁸ < in crossing sense⁶⁸ < in mixture sense⁶⁸.

The axio-couples⁶⁷ (C, C; C & C, C « C) define the interactive, vivid, sociality of Homo⁶⁹ => Men/Homo-s/ are living in society, “axio-environment” in which they are integrated as creators, producers, consumers in matrix of Culture, [C], alveolus of Civilization, [C].

=============================================================================

Example 1. The Lombardean matrix, [C] – in early Middle⁷⁰ ages, later in more recent epochs – & Lombardean alveolus, [C], – in early Middle ages, later – has also many relevant technical-technological aspects.

Example 2. The Carpato-Danubean-Pontean Space/C.D.P.S./ from many centuries – in fact (essentially, dominantly)⁷¹ Teritoriul Românesc (largerly dominant Romanian & multicultural, ethnical, cultual, linguistic).

=============================================================================

§.6. Enuntiare Philosophiae

The philosophical meditations – in which are conceived⁷² some aspects⁷³ of the Reality analyzed by thinkers – are expressed in various forms^II: oraly⁷⁴, in written⁷⁵, by symbols (letters, numbers, images, sounds, gestures⁷⁶, plastic forms^77,78, et al. logically organized in enounces and asertions^79,80,81.

§.7. The messages of Ars ceramica

The production of ceramical objects – ceramics – were made by men from the beginnings of humanity and are made until nowadays: earth⁸³ was at hand of the skilfull homo faber, artefactors⁸⁴, and the members of this axiological hypostasis are often used it intensively, in diversity⁸⁵.

The vox philosophiae were called (told, transmitted) also by the forms, the uses, the colors, the magnitudes, the positions, etc. of some objects made by earth/ceramic materials/ products of which were prepared by men from very early ages: the vessels were symbols, the decorations were bearers charged with messages^{III,87,88,89,90,91,92,93}.

§.8. Praxis

We have conceived a peculiar philosophical message transmitted mainly with the reproductions of some reputed old***** ceramic-al products⁹⁵ by which is expressed a homage of the human labour⁹⁶ which is concretised in a monument which will be⁹⁷ placed in the projected visitor center/salutatorium/ of the Terraplast plant – fabrica****** in Bistri]a, Romania – in whose functional structure the production of ceramics⁹⁸ is in focus. This central monumental objects⁹⁹ express to the visitors¹⁰⁰, specifically interested in the activity of this fabrica, the program of this technical-units, its social message, and, much more, the dignity of the endeavour of Man which meditate on HIS position in the World – frame in which Homo achieve various works⁹⁶ and live experiences¹⁰¹.

87. In some case positive information were print on the surfaces of vesels: Decebal per Scorilo, the name Petre, paint on the Capidava-ean oal\ (sec.X p.Ich.).

88. In Antiquity the Sculpture, the Picture^89,90,91, the Mozaic^92,93, the Ceramics were organically connected with Architecture⁹⁴. The ceramics is very important to all the persons of Antiquity: this ars is distinguished by the richness of forms and the generous variety of decorative motifs: Ex. In faraonic Egypt: urns, vessels, Ex. In imperial China: has generated the production of porcelain/china/, Ex. In Greece: the marvelous painted vessels (amphoras, Tanagra, et al.), Ex. In Roman Empire: terra sigilata, Ex. In Mesopotamia: the resistant ceramical books written plates with cuneiforms et al, Ex. In pre-columbian Americas: many structures.

89. The picture has developed in parallel with the sculpture but he creation of the eminent magister – which has worked in fragile materials quasi totally has disappeared and we have some information of them only in some ancient description (literary, historical)⁹⁰.

90. In Greece: Polignot, in the V^th century before I.Ch. is the author of Stoa poikilé/the variegated gate/colored portal/portico/ in Athens, decorated with fresco-s with thems taken from mythology and the history of Athens.
