Synoptic philosophy comes from the Greek words "sun-optikos", (“seeing everything together,”) and together with the word philosophy, means the love of wisdom emerging from a coherent understanding of everything together. Synoptic philosophy is simply a synthetic worldview embracing both thesis and antithesis such as analysis and synthesis, action and reaction, explication and implication, phenomenon and noumenon, visible and invisible, just to name a few.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Synoptic philosophy comes from the Greek words "sun-optikos", (“seeing everything together,”) and together with the word philosophy, means the love of wisdom emerging from a coherent understanding of everything together. Synoptic philosophy is simply a synthetic worldview embracing both thesis and antithesis such as analysis and synthesis, action and reaction, explication and implication, phenomenon and noumenon, visible and invisible, just to name a few. As such, it may be compared to the Janus' extrovert and introvert vision, or the view on the iceberg having the one-ninth surfaced tip and the eight-ninths submerged mass. Phenomenology, attempting to bracket egocentrism, appears to be more synoptic than analytic philosophy, logical atomism and logical positivism. Wilfrid Sellars (1962) used the term 'synoptic'. , The Anglo-American philosophy made a synoptic, synthetic turn explicitly during the last quarter of the last century, giving birth or rebirth to absolute idealism, phenomenology, poststructuralism, psychologism, historicism, contextualism, holism, and the like.
