Problematology
De la Problematologie: philosophie, science et langage ( On Problematology: Philosophy, Science and Language ) is Meyer's main work. In it the question , more precisely the question in philosophy , is called into question. It is based on the current crisis in philosophy, which Meyer wants to overcome with reference to Plato , Aristotle , René Descartes , Martin Heidegger , Ludwig Wittgenstein and other philosophers. From this discussion he develops the questions that represent the philosophical approach that Meyer calls “problematology” and which he describes as the “study of the questioning”.
