From Philosophy to Meso-Sophia
Abstract
Tracing the trajectory of philosophy after the Pythagorean era reveals its deviation from the original concept of "love of wisdom." The so-called Meso-Sophists have cloaked themselves in the guise of wisdom as a mere claim rather than an actual embodiment, propagating concepts that bear no relation to truth. They chase darkness with darkness, and what they claim to be enlightenment is merely an accumulation of obscurities, while what they present as truths are nothing more than mirages of knowledge. The goal of modern philosophies—despite their vast number and proliferation—is not to prepare humanity for the reception of the divine lights and the subtleties of supreme wisdom. Instead, they serve to divert the individual from achieving spiritual perfection by steering them away from the harbors of divine certainty and into the abyss of unrestricted doubt, which deprives the mind of the guiding light from above, as it has lost its sense of the sublime and the sacred.
In this article, employing a critical approach, we examine and scrutinize various manifestations of Meso-Sophia.
