How does philosophy today relate to the philosophy of Jesus?

Answer 1

Jesus is the personification of compassion.Philosophy tried its best to explain what compassion is without which humans remain a mere social animal. Jesus first of all is the Creator of all humankind, and the rest of the Universe as well, so the aspect of Philosophy did not come as a surprise to Him. I agree that Jesus is the personification of compassion, but also so much more. The philosophy of today is something that varies according to whom you spend your time with, and what they are thinking. I ususally see that as a term that intellectuals of the academia world prefer to use as opposed to living one's faith out by lifestyle. It's a way of saying 'man's view of religion verses God's way of His Son living out the life that only by faith others can actually have. I may have others that disagree with me on that but that is how I see it. There were several in the ancient world who had the admiration of the people of their time and they were considered to be very intelligent. But the Lord's response to those who were of that nature came through Paul when he was writing the New Testement, and he observed that the culture he spoke to 'worshipped' many gods, and had the intelligence to even have an altar to the 'unknown' god, and it was to that 'god' that Paul spoke about to them. If you want to learn more about that read in the Book of Acts in the New Testement. I don't recall the chpt. but reading through that whole book you will find out about that passage. The world's philosophy of today, what little I know about it and it is extremely little, is not exactly warm to the idea of the Christian's faith as it doesn't seem to want to accept what Jesus did for them. As I said earlier, it depends on where you are and who you spend your time with to know what the answer is to that kind of a question.

Or:

Not in the least. Humankind has learned a great deal in the intervening years. The philosophy of Jesus was not adhered to in his time - except by him - it certainly is not today. There may be a few, very rare, individuals who aspire the the philosophy of Jesus but they will be in the minority by an unknown but very large margin.

Answer 2

Philosophy today encompasses a wide range of topics and perspectives, including morality, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, which may have some parallels to the teachings of Jesus. However, the specific teachings and beliefs of Jesus are part of a religious tradition that goes beyond the scope of contemporary philosophical discourse. Some philosophers may draw inspiration from Jesus' teachings, but they often approach them from a secular or philosophical perspective.
