The theory on thing's limits. Part 4: The definition of philosophy

Abstract

Reasoning is a necessary condition of philosophy. And inertia is shown to be
characterized by continuity, which is a necessary condition for reasoning in reality. There is
continuity between truth and the corresponding objective things, which has always been an absence
in philosophy. It is precisely because of this absence that ambiguity occurs when a reasoning process
in reality reaches between being and non-being. Thereby leading to the definition for "philosophy"
has been in an inconclusive dilemma. Philosophy is the reasons summed up by human beings in the
processes of exploring the laws of nature and gradually cognizing truths. These reasons can involve
all knowledge, according to whether they exist in reality to distinguish different domains, which can
be divided into three parts: science, metaphysics and mathematics. Truth must have absoluteness and
immutability, does not exist in reality, and belongs to the category of metaphysics. Therefore, in the
category of metaphysics, only those contents that have continuity with the corresponding objective
things in reality, have the necessary condition for belonging to philosophy. Once in this way to
define what are contained in metaphysics, the definition for "philosophy" will come naturally. In the
reality, everything contains two sides that are both opposite and unified. And as "background",
metaphysics is also indispensable. Otherwise, it is impossible to clearly distinguish the two opposing
sides and reach a consensus, thereby ignoring the continuity that exists between truth and the
corresponding objective things. Therefore, the unity of opposites should be a ternary theory. The
three are indispensable, cause and effect to each other, co-birth and co-annihilation.
Key words: philosophy; ternary theory; metaphysics; unity of opposites; continuity; fairness
