Applied Philosophy

 

Applied philosophy is the pursuit of applicable wisdom, but with wisdom typically consisting of universally applicable knowledge, the idea of pursuing wisdom which is markedly applicable seems like a feat of redundancy. However, as a point of explanation, applicability finds variance over and within different needs unique to wisdoms many forms. These needs are of such character that they are often meant to be met by ideas conducive of expansive diversity, and in this understanding, one finds that a rich array of wisdom comes to stand as a point of wide relevance and deep connection. Knowledge, in this light, is indicative of a profound degree of applicability, and as an example, the field of mathematics, in many respects, can be found applicable across a wide array of disciplines. Given that math is of a particular nature in its design and construction, though, there are certain disciplines which find an increased depth of relevance with the principles found present in it as a field. Those disciplines would then serve as a contrasting backdrop to other studies which would not carry the same depth of connection.

Applied philosophy is purposed, in part, around this depiction of varying depth, relevance, and familiarity. Knowledge and the pursuit of its lessons are the greatest teacher, but the manner in which it finds itself to be relevant directly impacts the depth with which it imparts its teachings. 

Relevance is a term that serves as a compounding element to the epistemological dynamics of applied philosophy, as it is the qualitative and quantitative measure with which wisdom moves and places itself in the hearts, minds, and spirits of those who are receptive of its teachings. Studying the degree to which philosophy varies, in light of its capacity for universal relevance, is where the broad scope of applicability seats itself, and as the orchestration of its throes moves to depict different wisdoms, there resides a deeply ingrained dimension of fortification that perpetuates within its dynamics.

        Applying wisdom is an innate practice that develops over the course of one’s life, and the manner in which it is understood can have a staunch and profound impact on how it is implemented and utilized. Knowing this, as one grows to engage and wrestle with wisdom, their growth will reflect the effort found present in the perpetual cadence of study, survival, enlightenment, and prosperity.
