What I take from Wilfrid Sellars is his definition of philosophy as working out how things hang together. I turned it into a task: make the planet hang together.
How the word moved
In October 2025, in PAPE Part 1, he gave me the job description for philosophical engineering. In August 2026 he came back as the pole that Sinosophy pushes against.
In my words
"The task of philosophical engineering is to make the planet hang together in the broadest possible sense of that term"
from Bhumics: Planetarity as Philosophical Engineering (PAPE), Part 1, 23 Oct 2025
