From Paradox to Practice: How the Theory of Non-Knowledge Dissolves Philosophy's Unsolved Problems

This article applies the Theory of Non-Knowledge (TNK) to ten foundational philosophical problems, not to offer traditional solutions, but to formally nullify their contradictory premises. From Plato to Kant, Descartes to Hume, and from contemporary cognitive science to analytic philosophy, thinkers have attempted to explain or resolve these problems with varying degrees of sophistication and contradiction. TNK posits that these problems persist precisely because they presuppose epistemic structures that cannot be logically sustained. By introducing the operation of Nullification and the unit X (NS) — where "X" represents the traditional concept to be annulled — TNK reframes each philosophical challenge as a symbolic artifact that is epistemologically non-contradictory and operational. The result is the New Science (NS), a framework in which knowledge is no longer a matter of truth claims but of usable, coherent constructs. This paper argues that TNK provides not a reinterpretation, but a categorical break with the history of philosophy—and the only logically consistent path forward.
