31 July
I have almost no new experience in the last days so I enjoy the simple life on the boat. The only thing that there is here in adundance is Philosophy because captain Stefanos has a lot to discuss about. He is a pure Idealist, fan of Platon and against Aristoteles. Starting from the belief that the "Idea", ie. all the meanings, exists independent from their natural carrier, the Human, he accepts that in the world there is no stress, the good mixes up with the bad and both are disappeared, a harmony reigns in the universe and the utmost achievement is "the freedom of the freedom". That's at least what I catch from all his bla,bla...)
I am at the opposite: a Realist. Everything has to be recieved and is depended by us, there is nothing beyond human and science is the source of all knowledge. Any question that cannot be answered by the current knowledge simply is not stated, so there are no unanswered ones and so we don't need any superpower, "God" or "Idea" to solve them for us.
Anyway we speak about philosphy because, as ancient greeks had done, we have already fulfilled our needs on the boat while in the "normal" life hardly any need is really satisfied...
