Discipline of Dis-Integration: Philosophy Without Redemption

The provided text is an essay by independent scholar Bry Willis, titled "The Discipline of Dis-Integration: Philosophy Without Redemption," which formalises a new philosophical method called Dis-Integrationism. This approach is positioned as a continuation of the Anti-Enlightenment project, rejecting the modern tenets of reason, agency, and progress, and refusing the human instinct for synthesis or closure. The essay contrasts Dis-Integrationism with deconstruction and post-structuralism, advocating for a "discipline of suspension" that acknowledges fragmentation as a lived condition rather than a problem to be solved. Key to the philosophy is an ethic of maintenance and care—a sustained labour of tending what exists without expecting a final, redemptive outcome. The work is presented as open inquiry and includes an appendix of ten principles, emphasising attention, duration, and the refusal of finality.Essay: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17281408
