Who Decides Whether a Philosophy is Open or Closed?
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
Is the work of a philosopher “open” or “closed”? The answer to this question is the business of the reader, and not of the philosopher and his acolytes. It is the reader who decides, whether the philosophy that he has read is *open*, which means that it has the potential for further exposition and expansion, or *closed*, which means that its intellectualism is irrelevant for posterity. In a free society, with a culture of independent thought, every reader will be able to make his own assessment—some might decide that the philosophy has the potential for further development and they ...
