Beyond Fragmentation: Proposing a Meta-Methodology for Post-Postmodern Philosophy in the Age of AI

This paper addresses the persistent fragmentation of contemporary philosophy and argues for the development of a unified meta-methodology capable of integrating divergent paradigms in the post-postmodern landscape. Modern philosophy is characterized by deep methodological and conceptual divides—between universalism and contextualism, normativity and relativism, analytic and continental approaches—without a shared framework through which these tensions can be meaningfully mediated.

The urgency of this integrative task increases in the age of advanced artificial intelligence. AI systems inherit philosophical assumptions implicitly encoded in data, algorithms, and governance structures; without a coherent meta-level framework, these assumptions remain inconsistent or opaque. The paper examines the possibility of constructing such a meta-methodology and evaluates OntoMesh—an ambitious computational-philosophical system based on the principle “Code as Being”—as a case study of integrative attempts.

The work concludes that while models like OntoMesh reveal both the promise and the risks of large-scale integrative frameworks, the broader philosophical project of meta-methodological reconstruction is not optional: it is a structural requirement for philosophical coherence in a technologically mediated world.
