proteesimist

Proteesimism is a philosophical term that describes a perspective or belief system centered around the idea of "proteism." Proteism, in this context, refers to a dynamic, ever-changing, and fundamentally fluid nature of reality. A proteesimist would likely view existence not as a collection of fixed entities or stable structures, but as a continuous process of becoming and transforming. This perspective contrasts with philosophies that emphasize permanence, essences, or static truths. Instead, change itself is seen as the primary characteristic of the universe.

The term "proteesimist" is not widely established within academic philosophy, and its usage may be more informal or descriptive of a particular viewpoint rather than representing a formal school of thought. The concept draws parallels with ideas found in certain Eastern philosophies, such as the Buddhist notion of impermanence (anicca), or the Heraclitean philosophy of constant flux, famously summarized by the idea that one cannot step into the same river twice. A proteesimist might emphasize the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things, recognizing that their nature is contingent upon their constant interaction and transformation. This outlook could influence one's understanding of identity, knowledge, and the very nature of being.
