LIFE PHILOSOPHERS' LIFT : SPECTRUM PRECIS

POSTMODERN philosophers, such as Jean Francois Lyotard, revived the concept of '' positive unknowing, '' first proposed in the 13th century by the Italian theologian Thomas Aquinas.

He was greatly influenced by some very distinguished Muslim scholars.

It is a conscious letting go of fixed beliefs to achieve a deeper spiritual understanding, but also to pen a space for new ideas and explorations. Limiting our experience to what our senses can perceive closes to us the larger dimensions of existence.

Coming down from philosophical heights to everyday concerns, ordinary humans face their own daily uncertainties.

Will they get selected for a job? Will they reach school on time? Will they have a better life in another country? as they hurl their bikes or their legs across oncoming traffic like surfers riding the wave.

Most of Mankind living their lives through decades upon decades of intense political and economic uncertainty have understood that they must build resilience rather than try to control unpredictable outcomes.

Learning to live with uncertainty becomes one of life's greatest skills. It encourages deeper thinking, innovation, open-mindedness, a willingness to listen, and to find strength in collective wisdom.

Searching for prescribed or false certainty divides people and closes the mind..
