Emergent philosophies are those newly formed philosophies which are at, or are on the cusp of serious recognition as philosophical schools and theories. This implies a temporal criterion; at the point in time which
Jean-Paul Sartre and
Albert Camus were sitting down to formulate and expound their philosophies, French
existentialism could have been conceived of as being an emergent philosophy; it now, of course, is no such thing, it is recognised as a particular branch of
existentialism.
Examples of Emergent Philosophies are:
- Transhumanism
- Posthumanism?
