filosofófic

Filosofòfic is a neologistic term used to describe a mode of philosophical inquiry that aims to fuse analytic rigor with accessible language and public relevance. It emphasizes clear reasoning, argumentative accountability, and openness to revision rather than dogmatic assertion.

Origin and usage: The word is a coinage from contemporary online discourse, drawing on Romance-language roots for philosophy and adding a suffix that signals a systematic, “philosophic” approach. It does not yet denote a formal school with universal doctrine, and its meaning can vary by author.

Overview: Proponents describe filosofòfic as a practical philosophy aimed at addressing everyday problems and communicating ideas beyond specialist circles. Critics worry that the term is vague or pedantic and risk conflating style with substance.

Core principles: 1) Clarity and conciseness; 2) Public justification through accessible argumentation; 3) Methodological pluralism that welcomes logic, phenomenology, pragmatism, and other tools; 4) Self-correcting dialogue; 5) Attention to linguistic and conceptual presuppositions.

Methods and practices: Philosophers labeled as filosofòfic tend to use conceptual analysis, thought experiments, cases from ethics and social policy, and transparent reasoning. They favor precise definitions and explicit debates over rhetorical flourish.

Reception and status: Filosofòfic remains a contested label; some use it to describe efforts to democratize philosophy, while others treat it as a stylistic trend. It has appeared in academic blogs, teaching resources, and public philosophy discussions.
