fragmentation(the separation between knowing, desiring, and acting)
A breaking apart or separation into disconnected pieces; here, it means different parts of a philosophy that don't fit together smoothly.
idealization(Pragmatist response to the quantum mechanics / molecular shape paradox)
A pragmatic simplification — such as treating an open system as closed — that is useful for practical purposes but does not accurately represent physical reality.
knowing(Philolaus Fr. 3)
An act of limitation, according to Philolaus, which is impossible if reality is composed solely of unlimiteds.
tradition(Marx's characterization in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte)
A dead weight on social progress and change.
unified systematic expression(what the tradition claims to achieve across all dimensions)
A single, organized way of explaining something that covers all parts consistently and without contradiction.
