About this blog named Kenon.


I never thought of writing in this blog, but I neither thought this blog was going to be read for nobody. I believe I ought to give an explanation of this site. Kenon is just a storehouse of news which I’m interested in as philosopher. I used to keep the new’s links before to make this blog, but sometimes the link broke, then I decided to copy the news in a blog, they would never disappear and it would be easy to share the news with my friends. Whenever I know it I show the author and the origin of the new, I want to plagiarize nobody, only to keep and share knowledge. Thank you to everybody who has been quoted.

Why both art and science news? Life is an individual, a subject that tries to understand itself. This statement is quiet Hegelian, I know, but I believe it is really so. I don’t mean that live intended to do so from the beginning, but it’s what live is doing right now, in fact, since homo sapiens emerged on the earth.



The human being is the only kind of life which is able to fulfill the life’s process of auto knowledge. There are numberless types of live, but only we can do it. Science tries to understand the human being and the life in general as it does with the rest of things, with material things. As material things we are star’s dust, and whatsoever we are as particulars, beings with names and surnames, we are our brain and our ADN.We practically know all the elements of reality but Higgs's boson.

Chemistry knows how the life’s elements combine to make the diversity we can see in front of us. When we look at the starts we try to understand where our atoms come from and when the life’s process started. When we look at the brain and the ADN we try to understand how life begun to understand itself, the human being seems to be a tool’s life to look at itself.



On the other hand, art is the most nonsense thing that life has ever made. Is the only free field out of the physic laws, is the most incredible thing. In making art, the matter behaves as though it were just more than matter. What does a set of atoms called Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa in the 15th century, or another set of atoms called Banksy painting graffiti on any unknown today lane mean? What does the matter do when it behaves as it be not only matter? How we must understand this fact? What does this fact say about us? The more we think in the human being as consisting of matter, the more marvelous the art is. Why the matter called human being need beautiful, sublime, picturesque things and the like surrounding him? Why does matter itself need to create things off its own laws ?



I’ve named this blog Kenon because since the Enlightenment we know that we almost live on the vacuum, there is no superior being who support us, we are here by random and physic laws, everything could be different. There is neither fate nor divine will, we just float over the emptiness and we have to be happy knowing that we are made by nothing, of nothing and must wait for nothing.

Of course I don`t have the answers. At the moment I only want to collect news and to think about it. If sometime I believe that I’ve something interesting to say I’ll do it. Sorry for my bad English.
