Not Enough Primary Categories in Peikoff’s DIM? Salutary Eclecticism and an ACID Test

The author reprises his review of The DIM Hypothesis by arguing for an expansion and revision of Leonard Peikoff’s model to include not three, but four primary positions regarding integration (aka “DIM modes”): Integration, Disintegration, Abstract Misintegration, and Concrete Misintegration—and to include not just two mixtures of those primary positions, but twelve. He offers it as a work in progress and a remedy to the over-restrictiveness and resulting misrepresentations of various philosophers by Peikoff’s version of the model.
