Future affecting the past (!) & Hemingway – Too illogical to be false…

Chinese people think that the future can affect the past. They say that once upon a time a very mighty and powerful man in China did not manage to become an emperor only because he was punished for his followers conducting human sacrifices AFTER his death (!!) …

For us westerners this seems absurd. But taking into account that time is probably an artificial notion (see time related articles in the Harmonia portal) and that we are not yet able to say why time arrow must be directed only to one direction, this may not be so absurd after all.

A book may offer a weird insight into the matter…

Reading through Hemingway’s Death in the Afternoon makes one wonder… In every line of this book you get the feeling that the author has come back from the future to try to explain to you personally why he did chose to die in such a way…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
