The goal of this book is to provide a foundation for objective knowledge claims. A highly original method using 'quadra' diagrams is accompanied by a wide array of supplementary tools, including methods of exceptionism, logical building blocks, and advanced methods. The extensive appendix includes typologies and rhetorical arguments suited to the study of objective knowledge. The central technique is categorical deduction, a method for acquiring coherent knowledge similar to quantum information.
The 2nd Edition features a number of new methods including Exemption and Problem-Solving, and a correction of the section on Nodal Logic.
Coherent knowledge techniques using a diagrammatic method.
It makes Wittgenstein look nihilistic, and it makes Nietzsche look purposeless. It also provides a standard for re-interpreting how little Alfred Whitehead did with process philosophy.
Not metaphysics, but it does more with metaphysics than most works of philosophy have dreamed of.
Applies to theories of information, absolute knowledge, redefines syllogistic reasoning, and provides some good arguments for the partial failure of some traditional assumptions.
Overall, the best book of philosophy ever written (according to me).
Nietzsche is a better novelist, God is a better coherentist, but darn it this bucks the tradition. For a change someone (has) done something.
