理論

The Living Archive of Theory

RIRON-001 // EPISTEMOLOGY > FOUNDATIONALISM

Justified True Belief The classical tripartite analysis of knowledge as a convergence of belief, truth, and justification.

Gettier Problems Counter-examples demonstrating the insufficiency of justified true belief for knowledge.

Coherentism Beliefs justified by their coherence within a system rather than foundational premises.

Reliabilism Knowledge as the product of reliable cognitive processes.

Epistemology

認識論

RIRON-002 // METAPHYSICS > CAUSALITY

Humean Regularity Causation as constant conjunction -- events follow patterns, not necessary connections.

Counterfactual If cause had not occurred, effect would not have occurred. Lewis's possible worlds analysis.

Necessitarian Causal relations grounded in the essential natures and powers of objects.

Interventionist Causation understood through manipulation -- what happens when we intervene.

Causality

因果律

RIRON-003 // LOGIC > DIALECTICS

Thesis The initial proposition -- a claim posited as truth, the starting point of rational inquiry.

Antithesis The negation or contradiction -- the opposing force that reveals limitations of the thesis.

Synthesis The sublation -- a higher unity that preserves and transcends both thesis and antithesis.

Aufhebung Hegel's untranslatable concept: to cancel, to preserve, and to elevate simultaneously.

Dialectics

弁証法

RIRON-004 // PHILOSOPHY > PHENOMENOLOGY

Intentionality Consciousness is always consciousness OF something -- the directedness of mental acts.

Epoché The phenomenological reduction -- bracketing the natural attitude to examine pure experience.

Lebenswelt The lifeworld -- the pre-theoretical ground of all experience and scientific abstraction.

Being-in-the-World Heidegger's Dasein -- existence as always already embedded in a meaningful context.

Phenomenology

現象学

RIRON-SYS // METATHEORY > INTERCONNECTION

Beneath every theory lies a network of shared roots -- assumptions, questions, and intuitions that connect seemingly disparate frameworks into a living mycelium of thought. 理論 is not isolated structures but an interconnected ecosystem where epistemology feeds causality, dialectics spirals through phenomenology, and all knowledge grows from common ground.
