Closedness / Openness

Our Methodology

The dilemma of systematic philosophy: is the system closed (then dogmatic) or open (then unsystematic)? Our solution: open systematicity—clear principles, but self-correction remains possible.

Origin

Critique of Hegel: his system is said to be "closed," allowing no further development. Postmodern critique: any systematicity is said to be totalitarian. Our answer: systematicity with self-critique.
