Thinkers, Logic, and the Trap of Interpretation: A Phenomenological Inquiry into Thought, Intellectual Defence, and the Evolution of Humanity
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper examines how expressions originally intended to encourage independent thinking and observation can become doctrines, intellectual identities, and new forms of authority. It explores the defensive use of logic, the limitations of conceptual frameworks, and the distinction between a thinker's original expression and the interpretations constructed by others. It argues that logic should clarify rather than merely defend, and that intellectual development requires independent examination instead of the unquestioned reproduction of inherited thoughts.
