Dis-Integrationism: Refusing Metaphysical Gaslighting

Description

Language philosopher Bry Willis shares his socio-political ideas on Philosophics Blog, focusing on a concept the author terms "Dis-Integrationism." This philosophical perspective critiques Modernity’s perennial habit of tearing down existing foundations (like those established by Descartes or Nietzsche) only to rush into constructing new, equally fragile metaphysical "bedrocks," such as rationalism, rights-talk, or even theological belief. The author argues that both philosophical and religious systems mistakenly present their human-made structures (e.g., morality, scripture, reason) as eternal, unchangeable foundations, thereby "gaslighting" people about reality. Dis-integrationism is presented as the necessary pause, the refusal to immediately re-integrate fragmented ideas, and the acknowledgement that all floors we stand on are built, not naturally occurring geology.https://philosophics.blog/2025/09/21/dis-integrationism-why-the-floorboards-always-creak/
