Abstract
Philosophy is a sick enterprise—disabled and won’t admit it. The author, in a long pursuit of developing a Fearlessness Philosophy, takes another approach in parallel here in his critique of “Philosophy” itself as a conceptualization and in particular as a discipline and methodology of knowledge. He primarily takes a Freudian critique of Civilization and Maslowian critique of Science, then his own version of that critique and applies it to Psychology, and then finally to Philosophy. This large project, in progress, is to assert that Philosophy has not yet broken free of the bondage and carnage of its legacy as a phenomenon of philosophical disability. He argues, this is the case because it has not understood the Fear Problematique and ‘Fear’ Matrix that all philosophy has been virtually embedded in without admitting it has been. That fear-based denial is its main disability. He offers briefly his approach to re-awakening to this disability in philosophy and ways to turn a corner and adopt and develop a Fearlessness Philosophy.
