World Philosophy Day 2019

World Philosophy Day:

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has observed World Philosophy Day on the third Thursday of November every year since 2002. This time the day is being celebrated on November 19. 

World Philosophy Day actually invites reflection, about the world, and oneself. A United Nations resolution states that philosophy encourages critical and free thought and can promote tolerance and peace in order to build a better world.

Leading German comedian Helge Schneider repeats the most important questions of life and philosophy, namely, who we are, where our existence came from, and where we will go.

Researchers estimate that humans have been searching for answers to these questions for some 4,000 years. Even in modern times, besides the common people, experts, researchers, and professors of various sciences are engaged in searching for answers to questions. It seems that these difficult questions, at least to some extent, have always troubled conscious human beings, what is life, what is the reality of our existence, and what is going to happen after the end of this life.

Martin Zell, a professor at the University of Frankfurt, said: "Philosophy is the name of thinking about one's existence and the world. Without it, people living in a particular culture or historical situation cannot move forward or move forward well. ”

Philosophers around the world, through their books and articles, encourage people to think about the world and their caste and not to live a superficial life.
