Implausible though it may sound at this late date, after more than 2 millennia of trying, there is a new way of doing philosophy. And it is one that works. Instead of leading to skepticism, it justifies a more fundamental knowledge. But it is equally a new way of doing science, and this unification of philosophy and science has profound implications.
Philosophy is different from ordinary ways of knowing.
It aspires to a kind of knowledge that is prior to ordinary ways of knowing, such as science and practical reasoning. The heart of philosophy is foundationalism, because a special foundation is required in order to defend a more fundamental kind of knowledge. A new kind of first philosophy is what is presented at tWoW.net . In the past, philosophers have used epistemological foundations. But such attempts to justify a more fundamental kind of knowledge have failed to garner general acceptance.
