A Five-Philosopher Epistemological Architecture: From Will to Perspectivism

This paper presents an original epistemological architecture integrating five foundational philosophical traditions. The framework proceeds through distinct levels: Schopenhauer metaphysics of Will as blind cosmic ground; Hegel dialectical method and synthesis through contradiction; the pragmatist-falsificationist synthesis of Peirce and Popper emphasizing fallibilism and scientific methodology; and Nietzsche perspectivism as critical overcoming. Each level preserves the insights of its predecessors while transcending their limitations, following a pattern analogous to Hegelian Aufhebung. The resulting structure offers a methodological tool for contemporary philosophy of mind, bridging Continental and Analytic traditions through rigorous architectonic organization.
