The overarching proposal is that mental health has the greatest explanatory power for what is occurring in reality. I recognize that this cannot be proven through what I call the conventional philosophic approach in things. Hence, in order to show the veracity of the proposal, a different philosophical method is called for.

My work concerns this different approach, the object of which I name true.

  • Philosophy by itself cannot conceptualize itself truthfully.
  • Philosophy is infinitely multi dynamic; conventional philosophy reckons itself in stasis, but this stasis is not recognized through the conventional method of knowing.
  • The multi dynamic aspect of philosophy hinders epistemological progress.
  • Philosophy cannot simply be a name of an activity with no object and have substance; such a proposal is meaningless. In a real, lived experience, meaninglessness is at root anxiety.
  • Philosophy is never about more than one thing, even while the issue of the one thing is the issue of “the two”, that is, the one and the multiple.
  • The issue of the two is not directly addressable by conventional philosophy without a nonphilosphical approach. Fidelity to philosophic activity demands a nonphilosophical object.
  • To engage with conventional philosophy without the non philosophical understanding means that philosophy is unable to to reckon the meaning of itself.
  • To maintain fidelity to philosophy, the method of engagement with the conventional approach demands a conceptual front loading.
  • Frontloading involves a presentation of non philosophical situations.
  • The Nonphilosphical situation is that which resides prior to conventional understanding.
  • The nonphilosphical situation is presented as the philosophical object from which, and towards which all philopshical proposals point to and tend toward.
  • The motion of a true philosophy must work backward and inward for knowledge to move forward.
  • The substantial object is found through a specific situation of multiple instances of material meaning.

About this blog

Essays in mental health philosophy—less “tips,” more why things work (or don’t). I look at the first principles under therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and everyday life, and occasionally share notes from papers and books-in-progress.

This space stands alongside—not inside—my counseling practice. If you’re seeking therapy in Colorado, there’s a link in the footer.
