- In this class, a number of reflections will take place:
1. on the essence of philosophy and its nature.
2. a capital point of human questioning will be addressed, but in this time it is also an awkward, difficult and uncomfortable point, because ours is the time of silence 'about' God. The time when one does not feel a need for Him. Where the lack is a lack of need for God. And so there is silence about Him. Within that situation, doubt is in the heart and soul of this endless search for a meaning that is there and that one must continually relocate. But what place does doubt have for contemporary man? He is unable to feel anything either about God or about others, therefore, he silently waits until he is defeated, until he lacks the need for God. And this silence about God seems to be strongest precisely in Western civilisations. This last fact is extremely questioning! Can the questioning about God - to affirm or to deny Him - still be useful for the responsibility for a new man and a new education? - Reference texts
