Neopragmatism

Neopragmatism comes in flavors. For ETTanism, process is part of the result; it benchmarks the result. Process "becomes" result. The notion goes beyond Whiteheadean process philosophy, in that it is more wholistic and transcends (non-metaphysically) the becoming/being dualism.

One can't help but being liberal in order to have a proper life in modern complex society, especially the one that is hitech-gadget-ridden. Being entirely anti-liberalism or anti-libertarianism seems like telling other:"I'm giving up my liberties and other constitutional rights!" On the other hand, most people don't like being labeled as an extremist, nihilist, a pedophile or a (devilized) witch. This is why the neopragmatic liberalism with the following features has to come into the scene:

1. Ideology-less: Focus on proper methodology rather than universal ideology (the metaphysical one).

2. Creativism.

3. Contractarian liberalism of maximum liberties that end at others' liberties (Rawls).

4. Properly healthy and healthy properness.

5. Anti-reactionary fairness with frugal and prudent law-making process, just judicial review, antitrust, of best possible quality evidence, awards and punishments, civil and criminal law, jurisprudence, prohibition of unfair&/non-public-regarding influences of communities/groups (Cass Sunstein), plus proper protections of the weaks. Justice is the major ethical issue to consider.

6. Factism: facts or reliable statistics based decision-making process.

7. Principle-centered with proper public/private non-dialectic dichotomy.

8. Proper public powers definition, anti-nepotism and other proper measures.

9. Neo-internationalism with stricter international antitrust mechanism including political powers. There must also be proper control of international arms trade, security firms and other surveillance related businesses. Prevention and correcting settings against profiting from others misfortune.

10. Neonationalism and national constitutionalism.

11. De-ontologism.

12. Neonaturalism

13. Neo-neologism

14. Self-criticism

15. Heartism

16. Neopragmatic interpretivism

17. Sustainable reasonableness

18. Post-structuralism

If one really need something simple, I would unsatisfactory or over-simplistically say it is a reflexion or attempt to deal with all problems arise from pragmatism and utilitarianism, especially those materialistic ones. Thus, this put an end to the future possibility of never ending prefixes of "neo"s.
