Five Ways to prepare your process of philosophizing

1. Absolute Beginner  See everything as if you see them for the first time in your life. View them through the eyes of child.

2. Don’t believe easily in the existence of the world outside  Is the sun outside your mind an objective thing or mere your imagination? You must render your natural attitude that suppose that it is objective. Then, you get your position

3. Abstraction  Find the universal in the particular. Do you think that the table, trees, books, clothes etc. in front of you are idea or matter?

4. Find the starting point of all  Which is former: the apple that you eat now or your thinking about it? Take your position.

5. Parts and Totality  Think the elements of reality, but be attached to the totality. The enemy of philosophy is narrow-mindedness, a myopia.
