Some of the things you will find being discussed here are first-order philosophy and philosophizing, second-order or meta-philosophy and philosophizing. The fact that teachers, students, critics and reviewers who talk about philosophy or first-order philosophy are not doing meta-philosophy, although it might appear that when they talk about, think about and reflect on first-order philosophy tey are doing meta-philosophy. They might be involved in some general form of discussing first-order philosophy and philosophers, but what they do are not in the strict or technical sense meta-philosophy. There is a very subtle difference between 'real', strict, technical meta-philosophy and merely talking about, thinking about and saying things about philosophy and philosophers. This difference is crucial and of the utmost importance for those who are serious and passionate about the discourse of meta-philosophy as well as the doing of meta-philosophizing. Is there creativity involved in philosophizing? Are the authors, the thinkers of great philosophical ideas, the developers of metaphysical and other kinds of philosophical systems creative individuals? What, if any, is the relationship between creativity and original philosophical ideas and philosophizing?
