My name is Floris, I like philosophy and I often spend time thinking about life, love, reality, spirituality, the meaning of life and such matters. Many have called me a dreamer, which is true. I am a dreamer. I dream my life and live my dream. This is the dream. Death is merely waking up.

I once started using the nickname ‘Filosofloris’ and out of it came Philosoflourish.

So here we are.

Welcome

Philosophy

From Google / Oxford Languages

noun:

1.the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline.

2.a theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour. “we are not earthly beings with a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings with an earthly experience, that’s my philosophy”

The word “philosophy” originates from the Ancient Greek words phílos (φίλος) meaning “love” or “friend” and sophía (σοφία) meaning “wisdom”. Its literal etymological meaning is therefore “the love of wisdom,” or “the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge”.

The term suggests a humble pursuit of understanding rather than the claim of possessing absolute wisdom, and the philosopher is often seen as someone with a deep curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
