Philosophical imagination and fearless spirit

Philosophical imagination and fearless spirit is the skill of learning on how to handle different social and life matters and experiences with enough courage and wisdom. I am a university student at a local university therefore I have undergone through various experiences during my learning years which have contributed to my social and cultural makeup. Honesty as a value begins with the different teachings taught during childhood. The philosophical stages passed by everybody should reflect the behavior of people during their future ages. I have leant many experiences in life thereby learning that honesty is a good value to have in the society. The fearless spirit is passed through from parents to their children. I have learnt that courage is the key factor to success in the society (Yim, 2003, p.12). I therefore believe and imagine that living without being honest, with fear and without experiences is not a healthy way to enjoy life. Various life experiences according to me have taught many people important lessons in life.

I have learnt that we live in a democratic world full of various issues such as politics. Politics are enjoyed by most people. I have learnt to enjoy politics since they are part and parcel of the community. Politics as I have learnt must go hand in hand with good ethics morally. Politics however considered as a dirty game should follow the given standards and ethics as I have learnt. Many politicians are seen to separate politics from moral standards which I have learnt as wrong. Politics from what I have learnt should bring people together instead of separating people like they do currently. According to my own views and experience politics however democratic it is currently it is seen as one way of causing chaos and disunity among the people. According to my moral ethics and standards should be followed. I have learnt that following the given standards and ethics will make my life comfortable and at peace with the current society and especially in the university where I study. “As you can see, in the three required readings for this unit we have three different perspectives on ethics and moral education, and there are many more. Now it’s up to you to sort out where you stand” (Yim, 2003, p.16). It is actually true that it is my decision to choose which path I am going to follow. Every path chosen by somebody leads to the direction where one wants to be.

According to what I have learnt in school is that the teaching profession requires three key people who include parents, teachers and the students. This is true from my own experience where many students depend on their teachers for knowledge and their parents for school fees. Fearless spirit is encouraged by teachers who advise students on being courageous and honest students. My teacher even at the university levels emphasizes on courage and honesty as the key factors for one to succeed which I follow. Students should not be afraid to express their views and ideas and teachers as well as parents should be ready to listen to those ideas. My teacher listens to views of the other students before coming up with a conclusion which will affect the entire group. It is in the curriculum that teachers should put some values to their students.

Remarkable experiences are normally limited to the inner life of those people who tends to be imaginative.  The fact that philosophical imagination is the key of learning how to handle different social and life matter, it is essential for every person to be imaginative.  Additionally, imagination is perceived to be more vital than knowledge (Vanterpool, 2013 p.112). This is due to the fact that knowledge is confined to all what people know and understand. However, imagination embraces all our life experiences and the entire globe.  From what I know, I believe that imagination is developed from knowledge we obtain from our life experiences.  Experience is known to occur continually, as people are always involved in the entire process of life. For instance, knowing that being honest is essential. This knowledge will continue as long as we are always involved in the process of living.

Although many people argue that when a person is, being honest can get many challenges. I have realized that being honest is essential in life. People argue that when we are being honest various things can result. This may include fear that result from our action of being honest.  It is said hat the fine consistency of our experience remind us the same truth of our rebel. It also shows how this entire rebel may become a source of power.  This means that it is essential or us to give much of our lives over to habit and recurrence (Vanterpool, 2013 p.113). From this argument, it can be clearly evidenced that all the remarkable experience are normally confined to the inner life of people who tends to be imaginative. This is due to the fact that our imagination embraces all our life experiences.
