Hello friends, I'm Miguel Angel Antolínez, Go School of Bilbao

Sometimes often speak of the relationship, or possible relationship between Go and Philosophy.

Sea Buddhism, Zen philosophy, Taoism, or any other philosophical.

In this video I'll give my view on the matter, I hope you find it useful

In my opinion, the Go and philosophy seem,

how?

For starters, both are very old, ancient, has that old flavor that gives the passage of time,

the classic example of what not goes out of fashion, and that has endured the centuries tavés aroma.

In both, desire is given, sometimes passionate, wanting to learn

Be the Go ie Philosophy

and there is a prior recognition of ignorance

how much we need to learn

In both cases someone to teach us need

There were always schools of philosophy and Go

Which he speaks often of master disciple

every professional player usually say: I learned of this or that teacher

Both Philosophy and Go, must be discovered for oneself

they can give us many explanations, many teachings

but must be self who discover, really, what is the Go, and what is the philosophy

those teachings and those explanations are necessary

but like, really you are going to discover the Go and philosophy, is practicing

We learn to play go when we play a game on the board

and we learn philosophy, as we live, applying the teachings.

Both Go and philosophy, are based education.

Perhaps the best known legend about the origin of Go

whatever it says it was the legendary Emperor Yao, from ancient China

who invented the Go to educate your child

And there is no doubt that philosophy is a key factor in education

Both Go and Philosophy

of sensing that there is something transcendent, something that is beyond what they perceive our 5 senses

something hard to describe, but it attracts, attracts the human being

Both allow knowing yourself

We go discovered playing our personality traits

if we are shy, if we are very foolhardy, if we are wise ...

if ... finally, our qualities

and key philosophy is to know yourself. What the ancient Greeks said: Man, know thyself

Knowing how to play Go puts us in the best conditions to understand the philosophy

Understand philosophical concepts such as detachment, which we find in Buddhism

Or the concept of immortality, which we see in Taoism

and we see in any game of Go when a group is alive, that is immortal

Therefore, and more

I believe that the Go should be declared intangible cultural heritage
