The world and its outskirts

The world and its outskirts, this fifth chapter was kind of complicated because it questioned a lot of things that don’t really have an answer like the creator of the universe, we use the religious believe that God made it but we can’t be sure of that so we use it to explain what we don’t understand.
In this chapter there are three points that I found really interesting they are these ,What is the world? We don’t really know I mean “it is a framework were all the things relate” but for me and my world is my family, my friends, my school and all the things that surround me.
But when we come to the question about the universe I see this kind of complicated because even though specialist and scientist explain the origin of the universe we are not sure of that, that’s a hard question to ask, that’s we say “God the creator” as I said before to explan what we are not sure of, some poeple just stop quetsioning and find God as the first cause of teh creation of teh world.
The last thing was the point that Savater said about the order, before I thought that everything had an order that everyone have to follow, but know I realize that I was wrong because the order can be viewed differently from every person you see the order the way you arrange things as you like and as you see as ordered, everyone has its own order.

  1. Yes Illeana, I also think that questioning about the Universe is kind of difficult, and also makes me think more about what is the real sense of our lives. Why many people want only money? meanwhile our world is starving. I think we humans should take conscience about what we really are, and take care of our little world, that is the only thing we have.

  2. Ile I am totally convinced of your point. We often simplify or conclude that whatever is too big for us to create or we ignore it's composition, origin, or whatever, had been created or conceived by a divine power, bigger than us, because we see ourselves little in comparison to all that, so we prefer to say it is all made by a deity.

  3. the chapter was complicated because we think it is complicated, it depends on the form you see it and the form you want it to be. when things are not as we wish them to be there is a problem, i thhink religion and science are correct, its the same but explained different.

  4. illiana, i think you can also see the universe of a part of your world, with your friend and familiy on it, your small world y a part of the universe. I think that the book make it harder to understand or maybe I don't want to get complicated but i think is a good way to see the universe.
    About the order i also leared to view that word differently and which actually y like it seeing the world with a different definition so we can unterstand people easier.
