The Philosophy Kaleidoscope

GTJ inspired from a broader systems theory inspired by Luhmann & Mendeleev

Professor Dmitry Mendeleev, the scientist who innovated the first Periodic Table in the discipline of chemistry, famously stated that this could and should be done for all disciplines, and the GTJ does this for the discipline of law.

‘It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man – social & political – and to the entire universe as a whole’.

The Philosophy Kaleidoscope encourages a universally recongised 'Periodic Table' to be formulated not just for the discipline of chemistry, or for the discipline of law like the GTJ seeks to do, but for every discipline in the world.

Immersed in an Ocean of literary content in the modern world

‘The Philosophy Kaleidoscope’ is a theory based upon the premise that the modern-world we live in has effectively become a metaphysical ocean of literature & content - this gargantuan-sized literary ocean is posited to contain every piece of public literature across the entire world from the past 2000+ years of human history. This ‘literary ocean’ began being built with the promulgation of papyrus scrolls & books, and exponentially increased in size with the advent of computers, internet, & laser-printers. This content now ranges ad nauseam from: academic textbooks; pro practitioner textbooks; lecturer notes & courses; journals; essays/dissertations; research papers; tutorials; lectures; seminars; conferences; informal how-to book guides; Parliamentary debates & committees’ documents; public speeches; biographies & memoirs; proverbs & sayings books; documentaries; newspapers, magazines & media; novels & fictional books; films; TV programmes; self-upload websites like YouTube; blogs; podcasts; social-media posts; theatre-plays; box-sets; music; poems; editorial pictures; cartoons; & beyond. This theory encourages people to rationalise themselves as nowadays effectively being submerged in this ethereal & beguiling content aquarium.

The 2 methods mondern-day humans use to philosophise from this literary ocean

This Philosophy Kaleidoscope posits the theory that intelligent & philosophical human beings approach this literary ocean with 2 methods. The 1st method is that they read & listen to credible and trustworthy content, then they extract select quotes & resonating principles from it, which they become efficient & efficacious at applying, and they ignore & jettison quotes & philosophies which do not appeal to them. People then store these in their mind via their memory and try to apply them as skilfully as they can to live a practical, preordained, resolute, and informally strategized life. That 1st philosophical approach allows people to effectively swim gracefully & aerodynamically in the literary ocean of the modern world for a predominantly happy & fairly simple life; au contraire people who impromptu just rely on instinct and practical experience in life, without embracing the literary ocean of the modern world with a ‘can learn & can do’ attitude at all, often typically struggle to get-on & be happy in the modern day world. In terms of the 2nd approach, some particularly strategic philosophical people open personal documents, where they create a chapter structure to note & store the different types of information they learn throughout life, for both their day-to-day job & social-life generally. They then re-read & re-build upon these philosophical principles periodically. Historically these notes & quotes were handwritten in a diary or journal, and, in modern day times they are typed into an electronic document on a phone, tablet, cloud, or USB stick. People who utilise this 2nd approach effectively build a ‘boat’ to navigate the literary ocean for their career & social life. This 2nd approach is posited to be how successful people prosper, thrive & be happy in the modern world, with the extent of success dependent on ‘boat’-quality.

Emboldening people to take a more scientific approach to the structuring & codification of knowledge & content in the modern world

In terms of the 2nd approach, the Philosophy Kaleidoscope encourages people to be cognisant of themselves being philosophical in this manner the modern world’s literary ocean, and, from this self-awareness then be emboldened to take an even more scientific approach. To do this, firstly, it encourages people to think of the library layout in Universities & Colleges for academic trade subjects as being amalgamated with the book-shop layout in high-street book-shops, to simplify the modern world as having 72 different disciplines, each with many subjects in it. Secondly, it provides the example of the Periodic Table for the discipline of chemistry, showing it codified into 118 subjects such as gold, aluminium, nitrogen etc - it elucidates how a ‘Periodic Table’ like this can be created for the subjects of any of the world’s 72 disciplines, and a person can therefore do this for their discipline(s) too. Thirdly, it then explains how people can also formulate acronym equations to remember the principles within a discipline’s subjects. It is postulated that this tripartite philosophical approach helps a person evolve their ‘boat’ into a powerful ‘ship’ to thrust, accelerate, & power through the modern-day world. Finally, this book explains the ‘6-pack’ maintenance plan success to attain a more ‘shredded mindset’, and, it also outlines the ‘7 deadly sins’ of becoming overly philosophical, overanalytical & over-thinking.
