Will there ever be a new school of philosophy?

Question

Is it impossible to imagine?

I mean like someone comes along and makes a new 'ism.

Answer 1

Yeah,

I think the losses of privacy, individualism, and cultural diversity will spawn a new school that will attempt to identify and celebrate the individual culture in contrast to what will be a very flat and monochromatic societal culture. The philosophy will also address the morals, ethics, and emotional conditions that will be encountered because of the "avatar" phenomenon, where our individuality is hidden (and our emotional restraints minimized) in anonymous personalities of E-mail, Blog entries, home employment, and game/Role playing avatars.

The oddity of personalities, attitudes, and ethics shown in Y!A is a good example of how this world will change, and is a small glimpse of how different this interactive environment will be, from which new philosophies will take root.

I'd call it: egoculturalism

Answer 2

It is possible. But it is difficult for me to imagine it.

Whether there actually will be a new philosophical -ism, is to predict the future, and I am not going to speculate. But then, it depends on what you mean by -ism. If you mean a new epistemological regime, another rationalism or what have you, or an equivalent to logical positivism, I won't speculate. But if you mean something along the lines of, say, Searleism, or Searleanism, I'll say yes something like might well come along.

What the hell, maybe there will be some new form of pragmatism, morally grounded in Kant, and metaphysically grounded in contemporary thought as well as in certain forms of Eastern mysticism, and in a reconciliation of Plato and Aristotle; and, epistemologically grounded in intuitionism, rationalism, empiricism, analytic methodology, and experiential application. There, I stuck out my neck.

I do remember this. When I was considering emphases for graduate school in Philosophy, I spent some time looking for faculty interest in a meta-philosophical investigation into a method for determining the future course of philosophical method or (inclusively) its objects of investigation. I guess you could say I am methodologist who seeks ways to turn philosophy into enriched human experience.

Answer 3

A new school of philosophy necessarily exist in our possible world. People that do not believe so, are totally ignoring history`s trackrecord. The Earth changes, The Stars change, Humans change. This continues on into infinity for everything, and somewhere along the way - Whaaaa Lah! A new school of philosophy is born.

Answer 4

Perfection is an physique of ideas no longer an characteristic. It in simple terms ability getting it precisely the way you like it. someplace a pig is wallowing in a great steaming pile of rubbish & questioning "it fairly is proper". So we are proper if we are precisely what we must be. E.g. people are difficulty solvers, the international is crammed with issues, isn't that proper? Now maximum religions attempt to advance the flock, so preaching that each and every person our little anti-social perversions is exactly what God needs - is somewhat counter-efficient. comprehend? you are able to no longer sell a self progression direction with the pitch "there is not any choose for progression" And JFTR i've got consistently suspected my cat is a touch ineffective regards this is tail. Cats won't be concerned related to the colour of their fur, yet they specific spend assorted time grooming it.

Answer 5

There is nothing new under the sun, and humanity is a spent force in the philosophy department, where we are crushed by the weight of our own History. But we can always sit down and watch England being beaten by Russia.

Answer 6

There are so many surprises on this planet. Who knows? I wouldn't say "no." No one ever expected this many folk with intelligence, to run for President of the United States. It certainly is not impossible to imagine. Peace, Love and God Bless.

Answer 7

Of course there will. Original thought is not dead.

Indeed, with the slow development of freedom from the artificial constraints of religion, original thought is being encouraged as never before.

Perhaps that is a hope for the future as we face up to planetary warming and climate change, challenges which threaten our extinction from the face of the Earth.

Answer 8

It happens all the time. I guess some of the more recent philosophies have been evolutionary psychology, post-modernism, post-structuralism, communitarianism. I don't know of any major philosophies born in the 21st century yet, but it shouldn't be too long.

Answer 9

There was a professor called Chisolm
Who discovered a thing called a prisom
But he caused such a fright
With his flashes of light
That he ended up going to prison

I know this hasn't really got anything to do with what you are asking but it sprang to mind when I read the question.

Answer 10

I would like to right a book about indifference and have that be a new ism...
