It is assumed the other articles I refer to at the beginning written by myself have been read. Then section 2 deals with X-Phi, its subject-matter and methods and compared to the subject-matter and methods of traditional philosophy. Section 3 deals with traditional methods. An appendix on theorizing is attached as it is suggested that philosophizing resembles the features, stages, steps and aims of the process/es of theorizing.
MA course taught at NYCU in 2022-23
Metaphilosophy (Course Syllabus)There are many reasons to do philosophy: for university credits, for fun, to challenge authority, to expand conceptual horizons, to become a better person, or to discover the meaning of life. But how do you actually do it? What is philosophy, really? And how is philosophy different from other disciplines, if at all? Many of these questions are as old as philosophy itself, and we will explore them in this class. Topics of discussion will include "armchair" methods (conceptual analysis, conceptual explication, conceptual engineering, thought experiments), criticisms of those methods (experimental philosophy's "negative program"), the "proper" role for intuition in philosophy, the use of scientific data in philosophy (including experimental philosophy), cross-cultural differences, and the aims of philosophy. Objectives The goal of this course is to improve students' understanding of and capacity to succeed in the discipline of philosophy, by doing philosophy about philosophy. We will develop and analyze different frameworks about the nature of philosophy, and in so doing, nurture students' abilities to reason critically and creatively, as well as to present their ideas in discussion, writing and presentations. Students will also gain familiarity with the fundamental assumptions and methods of metaphilosophy. As several weeks will be devoted to developments in experimental philosophy, students will also learn how to understand, evaluate, and if they like, pursue, experimental-statistical research.
Much extended to included details of courses, subject-matter, methods taught in Analytic Philosophy, theorizing and Continental philosophy , for example vast appendix on 'the movement of non-philosophy' work. Much extended by details of undergraduate courses in philosophy (epistemology, arguments, metaphysics, and other aspects of 'Analytic' Philosophy , or as taught in the UK and US), as well as aspects theory-construction (the 3 approaches in the sciences) Meta-philosophical study of philosophy as it resembles the processes of theorizing. Surveying Analytical and Continental Philosophy as described by different authors to identify their subject-matter (that could be included and excluded in this discipline or shared with other disciplines as in cognitive sciences and X-Phi) and methods. AP concentrates on certain stages of theorizing (conceptual analysis, exploration and speculation about them), CP concentrates on 'the human condition', social, political and cultural fields, but lacks the clarity, meticulous details and systematic work of AP. These are some of the implicit assumptions (ideologies) underlying and determining contemporary philosophical practice and institutions.

Explorations of the traditional branches of philosophy and (the seemingly endless differentiation of the philosophical discourse into) new, highly specialized, always more microscopic, areas of doing professionalized philosophy, in an attempt to reveal traces of and hints to the remaining, if any, valid and meaningful subject-matter of philosophizing. This is executed against the background and the fact that the socio-cultural practice of philosophy have lost most, if not all, its areas of investigation to other disciplines and inter-disciplinary fields such as the Cognitive Sciences.....
I belong to a group of academics offering our work for FREE downlaod as commercial publishers charge too much for books. https://www.academia.edu/31099506/_Meta-philosophy_Where_to_begin_Philosophy If you wish to think/write about many dimensional things like the ‘world’, persons, consciousness, human thinking etc, you should at least think multi-dimensional and many levelled. Questioning the purpose, the subject-matter and the methodology, methods of the discipline. I have already dealt in detail about the disappearance of different subject from the philosophical discourse with the differentiation of other disciplines, as well as the involvement in philosophy in inter-disciplinary areas such as cognitive sciences, the creation of experimental philosophy and the philosophies of other discourses, eg art, religion, science, mathematics, sport and every subject possible. Philosophy has/is often interpreted as consisting of logic, which in has its own discourse, while other aspects or forms of logic really form part of mathematics. The doing of philosophy as the doing of (usually informal) logic is in some way related to this belief. As far as the method of philosophy goes, it is always seen as employing arguments, argumentation and reasoning. But all kinds of writing and talking employ arguments, argumentation, reasoning and informal logic – not just philosophy. I conclude with a discussion from theoretical physics (in the past associated with the philosophical discourse) that provides us with ontologies as philosophy used to do. Against that background I present articles on the multiverse, more conventional articles on our universe, our world, our physical reality and the origins of life. I think these are some of the many things that it is necessary that philosophy should take note of and consequently question itself, its aims, objectives, subject-matter and methodologies. We might then have something different than one-levelled and one-dimensional thinking and more many layered and levelled and multi-dimensional thinking. Is this not how our consciousness functions? On many levels, layers and dimensions simultaneously? So should this not be the manner in which we conceive of ‘it’, its nature and functioning? We, philosophy, should at least be thinking ( instead of individual concepts, or statements, linear thinking - we should simultaneously think on many layers, on many levels and in several dimensions) in terms of 3D, for example 3D scatter plots .By this I mean the many different aspects of the person (mentally and physically, socially, culturally, as well as our environment, planetary and universe context should be included in every concept we employ; each concept should therefore be at least like a 3D scatter plot image, including all these levels and information)
Meta-philosophical investigations of - what is metaphilosophy, philosophy, philosophizing, the discourse of philosophy, its aim, methods and transcendentals, as well as exploration of syllabus of top philosophical schools
Investigation of philosophy from the points of view of: philosophical subject-matter methods original, creative-thinking vs scholarly, professional concerns inter-disciplinary fields of study that cause philosophers to become involved non-philosophical areas, other disciplines and non-philosophical problems
Meta-Philosophy (Philosophizing resembling Theorizing) Many articles dealing with the features, classification, nature, types, functions of theory, theory-building and the processes of theorizing are cited. It is shown that and how the stages of philosophizing resemble those of theorizing
