The Philosophy Of Totality And Human Beings

Anything can be understood in its totality, and this is the most fundamental question that has ever existed in the intellectual history of man. For example, when Aristotle began writing his book Metaphysics The basic question before he was, "What is the first philosophy?" I mean, what is the first principle of the reality of anything? What is its essence, its essence? But I am amazed at the people (thinkers) who do not want to understand the man in his totality. They do not know that man himself is a combination of different abilities: passion, feeling, imagination, sensations, understanding and intellect all together form the human "totality". The superiority of the intellect is that whether it is a passion or feeling, it encompasses them. But there is no power in emotion or feeling or sensation to encompass the intellect. That is why it is not possible to understand any phenomenon, object, being, object or even human being as a whole under emotion or feeling. The great philosophers, including Plato, Aristotle, Kant and Hegel, have given precedence to reason because of its universal character. In short, it is utter folly to divide man into different parts on the basis of his own attributes and to find any "supernatural" value in them. Emotions have clashed with intellect, senses have been pitted against comprehension, imagination has been subdued by sensations, these are all childish movements. And there is no need to explain who does it. Unless a man considers himself a combination of all these attributes, he remains alienated from his own "totality".
