Monopluralism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monopluralism (from ancient Greek μόνος = " alone, only, only " and Latin plures = " many ") represents the attempt to understand the world as a unity "and" multiplicity instead of a unity "or" multiplicity. Although this conceptually creates another -ism , the danger of a one-sided system is to be avoided. This is intended to represent neither a one-sided monism nor an uncritical pluralism . In accordance with the assumptions of systems theory , an interdisciplinary approach is sought.

Kant

Monopluralism can refer to Immanuel Kant (1724–1804). Kant taught that reason can be viewed as a systematic unit. It is therefore system-building itself. The unity in the manifold is based on a system. However, any dogmatics is "improper" in systematic terms.

"Because our reason (subjectively) is itself a system, but in its pure use, by means of mere concepts, only a system of research according to the principles of unity, for which experience alone can provide the material."
