Abstract

The aim of this essay is to provisionally put forward a definition of “system” as a mode of reflection that, as its Greek etymology suggests, “holds together” and rests upon a conception of philosophical discourse as a kind of arborescence. From a common trunk, as it were, the branches delimiting the domains of philosophy would emanate. Fundamentally, the system would then be the form taken by the action called “philosophizing” and would constitute the material form of “Philosophy” – which would assume, to a certain extent, the role of structure.
