Abstract

Any system of philosophy is an attempt to answer fundamental philosophical questions in a way that combines the minimum number of principles with the maximum explanatory force in accounting for empirical reality. Ideally, there would be only one principle that explains everything, or at least everything on a certain level of philosophical reflection.¹
