Why philosophy?

Why is a website that presents a software program of interest to philosophers? But then, the same could be asked about a book describing the world using the geometric method. In Ethics, Spinoza used the latest ideas to develop a philosophy grounded in the scientific method in an attempt to leave behind dogma, superstition and ignorance.

QQRONA offers a new way to look at the world. It throws up ideas that will be a surprise to most, unsettling to many, and abhorrent to some. It invites those who have a yearning for knowledge and an open mind to embark on a journey to place that will appear very different from the world they are used to.

The philosophy behind QQRONA will be presented here chiefly through the optics of the “Western tradition” – a lineage of intellectual development with roots in Asia, that travelled through the Middle East to the Eastern Mediterranean, before becoming the foundation of the “modern world” in Europe.The presentation is built around what are sometimes considered the three pillars of this tradition: natural philosophy (science), logic and ethics.
