Dare to know ( sepere aude)
Emmanuel Kant said this: “Sepere Aude” or have the courage to know.
He states that the content of the universe, life and their destinies are still contentious or unresolved issues.
There are a lot of scientists who believe that this universe appeared out of nothing as quantum fluctuations of energy which grew into its present immensity.
This was not inevitable but fortuitous. It could have not formed at all or formed in an altogether different way.
Similarly life itself, the arising of a self organizing faculty whereby vitality is kept alive and going in a chemical structure of orderly existence, growth and reproduction is itself a big mystery. Sheer chance could be behind it. Once the organic process got started moving it became self generating and self changing. Man is the outcome of a series of events like evolution its mutation, and selection under climatic swings and cosmic impacts. There is no truth to maintain that evolution inevitably moves towards more exalted beings. Evolution can only explain the various forms of life. But why or how is this happening and how did inert matter got life?
