hawking 13_miniIn 2010 I saw a show with Stephen Hawking who talked about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. This week I saw another show in the Discovery Science Channel, Hawking presented his opinion about the question: Is there a meaning to our lives.

In the current show Hawking declares: "the philosophy is dead." I disagree with this statement and unfortunately, both films disappointed me; Hawking's opinion is commonly trivial or arguable according to me.

In my opinion the real philosophy is equivalent to a scientific world view. This view is scientific in the sense that its methodology is scientific, and it incorporates all important human knowledge. The philosophy as world view dynamically synthesizes the achievements of all sciences.
