Some Philosophical Propositions ( for a change)

1 The Real is what is meaningful.

1.1 Meaning is produced by thinking

1.2 But thinking is not produced by thinking.

1.3 Thinking is neither meaningful nor real...


2 Reality is distinct from existence.
The existentialist slogan, `existence preceeds essence', makes sense when we see that essenses are actually constructs of human thought and language.

3. `A Thing' becomes `Something'only because of human thought-language.

4. Being of being preceeds human thought but it is only through language that being can become something
