metaphiloauguryraptusopseudohippomultineoeupsychogratificationationalizability

The self-aware love of false prophetic rapture involving galloping horses and multiple new forms of mind-pleasing satisfaction, with the potential for conceptual abstraction and realization

Faust: Hey Mephisto, can you imagine a horse galloping on a tomato?
Mephistopheles: Why, certainly, Faust. I’ve seen empires crumble on softer ground. A horse on a tomato is but a metaphor for man’s ambition. Absurd, slippery, and destined to burst under pressure.
Faust: woah trvke, thats so metaphiloauguryraptusopseudohippomultineoeupsychogratificationationalizability.

Scientific Metaphilosophy

The philosophical examination of the philosophy of science itself—stepping back to ask what philosophy of science is doing, what its methods are, how it changes over time, and what counts as progress within it. Metaphilosophy doesn't ask "what is science?" but "what are we doing when we ask what science is?" It's the discipline's self-reflection, its attempt to understand its own assumptions, its own ghosts, its own history. For those who find philosophy of science interesting, metaphilosophy is where you go when you find philosophy of science's assumptions interesting too.

"You're arguing about whether Kuhn was right about paradigms. But Scientific Metaphilosophy asks: why are we still using Kuhn's framework to have this argument? What does it mean that we organize philosophy of science around his categories? Who benefits from this way of thinking about thinking about science?"

Epistemological Metaphilosophy

The philosophical examination of epistemology itself—stepping back to ask what epistemology is doing, what its methods are, how it changes over time, and what counts as progress within it. Metaphilosophy doesn't ask "what is knowledge?" but "what are we doing when we ask what knowledge is?" It's the discipline's self-reflection, its attempt to understand its own assumptions, its own ghosts, its own history. For those who find epistemology interesting, metaphilosophy is where you go when you find epistemology's assumptions interesting too.

"You're arguing about whether knowledge requires certainty. But Epistemological Metaphilosophy asks: why are we still having this argument? What does it mean that Western epistemology has been asking the same questions for 2500 years? Is this progress or just obsession? Step back from knowing about knowing to knowing about knowing about knowing."
