Quietism
Quietism in philosophy
is an approach to the subject that sees the role of philosophy as
broadly therapeutic or remedial. Quietist philosophers believe that
philosophy has no positive thesis to contribute, but rather that its
value is in defusing confusions in the linguistic and conceptual
frameworks of other subjects, including non-quietist philosophy. By
re-formulating supposed problems in a way that makes the misguided
reasoning from which they arise apparent, the quietist hopes to put an
end to man's confusion, and help return to a state of intellectual
quietude.
