What I take from Eric Schliesser is my working definition of synthetic philosophy. He's also someone I talk with, on the page, when I read Machiavelli. Two debts, then.
How the word moved
In February 2025 I quoted his reading of Machiavelli's renewal while I was writing The Pauper. In May 2025, in Bhumics 16, I adopted his definition of synthetic philosophy outright.
In my words
"I am adopting Eric Schleisser’s definition"
from Bhumics 16: The System of the World, 14 May 2025
