160413: Rational dialectics, a universal philosophy and panentheism
Philosophy is the attempt to understand the function of the universe in terms of what lies within it and what lies outside it. The perception of the physical lying within the ethereal, panentheism, leads to a rationally defensible explanation of the whole of reality.

By doing so, it leads us to an understanding of what we may be, what our function is, within the universe as well as to what lies outside the universe.
This process is accomplished through an attempt to establish a unified view of the universe.
Many great thinkers have left their mark upon the field of philosophy over the last 3,000 years. But just as surely as they have left their mark, they have left their doubts about the ability of philosophy to accomplish its task of developing a unified view of the universe.
This is not a negative statement; rather, it is a statement of growth, for just as a human grows through self-examination, so do specialty fields of knowledge grow through self-examination.
Knowledge we gain as a species is nothing more than perceptions we gain based upon our efforts as individuals to understand what it is we perceive through faith, observations, and reason.
It is no wonder our basic fields of study go through similar stages of development as their architects. There is little doubt that humans are the most soul searching life form on this planet.
Since humans are the engineers of their own fields of study, it only follows that philosophy would go through much soul searching in terms of its ability to accomplish its own function. But eventually, one has to stop searching and get on with life, and so it is with philosophy.
Self-doubt, soul searching, hesitation, fear of failure, whatever excuse one wishes to place upon the lack of success of philosophy to accomplish its goal, the fact still remains that philosophy has not developed a unified view of the universe.
It is time for philosophy to stop worrying about being condemned to ‘hell’ by religions and being ridiculed by science.
It is time for philosophy to have faith in itself and use what it has observed as being successful for science.
It is time to build a model of a unified view of the universe.
The mere fact that we perceive the universe exists should be enough for philosophy to understand it can be modeled.
It is the perception of panentheism which is capable of generating a unified view of the whole of reality capable of merging the physical examined by science and the ethereal examined by religions into a model of the physical immersed within the ethereal, into a model of one within the other.
