So, what is Adaptism, and why is it making a journey? Well, to start, Adaptism is kind of two things. First, it is a method of research, based heavily off of Platonic/Kantian/Hegelian Dialectic Methods, and Pragmatism, with lesser influences from Radical Empricism, Instrumentalism, and Conceptualism. From these (which shall be explained a little further down the line) comes Philosophical Adaptism. This is simply a research method. The result of Philosophical Adaptism in the political arena (which is where I plan on going with it) is Ideological Adaptism, the second type of Adaptism. Now, because each person is going to come to different results when given the same information, it is virtually impossible to define different ideologies within the Adaptism grouping (for example, you can be a Left Libertarian, but it will be impossible to be a Left Adaptist).
So, what exactly am I going to do with this blog then, and how does it relate to a journey? Well, I've decided realistically very little about how Philosophical Adaptism will be designed, and nothing about my Ideological Adaptism (which I'll call Smith's Adaptism, even though my name is not Smith). This blog is going to be me doing additional research on the components of Philosophical Adaptism. For example, I'm going to be reading all of Plato's works. During this time I'm going to be writing down my thoughts on the structure of Plato's Dialogs, as well as my general thoughts on the dialogs themselves. When I am finished, I shall lay down what specifically I'm going to be looking at for my research into Smith's Ideological Adaptism, and of course, my thoughts on the sources I'm reading for this research, and then my final conclusions.
Well, have fun!
