PHILOSOPHY. In philosophy, the most wide-ranging of the great trefoil traditions, yet another formally inverted duality has long been evident.
Analytic philosophy (which today is often seen as typically anglophone) appears to be left-brain-driven.
Synthetic philosophy (which today is often seen as typically 'continental') appears to be right-brain-driven.
We shall return to the important subject of philosophy (and the potential synergy of its two main divisions via A General Convention for Form) towards the end of this 'broad brush' introduction. At that point I shall try to explain why I think that, whereas intellectual life has long benefited from various proposed Philosophies of Science, in contrast, the formal inversion theory suggests the beginnings of a proposed Science of Philosophy.
