Overview
[edit]Para-philosophy is an emerging branch of philosophy that seeks to structure knowledge by transcending and integrating traditional obstacles within the field, such as paradoxes, self-reference, contradiction, and interplay between subjective and objective. It is related to meta-philosophy and could be said to encompass all of traditional philosophy due to its interdisciplinary nature.
History
[edit]The term was first used by Baktash Khamsehpour in a treatise on Academia.edu on the subject[1]. In his essay on the topic, he says. "With paraphilosophy it is possible to make analysis either objectively or subjectively or using both perspectives. It could be said that a subjective treatise could be as correct as an objective one or vice versa."
The topic gained renewed interest when a video by philosopher Benjamin Davies claiming to "explain the universe in four minutes" went viral, with the topic being about paraphilosophy. Davies has advanced the study significantly with his his book on the subject, The Shape of Knowledge.[2]
Subject MatterParaphilosophy utilizes many new terms, the two main ones being abjective and superjective. These help to describe the interplay between objective and subjective. The main tool of paraphilosophy is the Dialectical Matrix, a two-by-two Decision Matrix plotting objectivity against subjectivity.
