Welcome to the Cotometism Foundation

You’ve arrived at a site established for principled thinking—about the conditions that shape human existence, the choices they permit, and the social norms that sustain or limit them.

Cotometism is a philosophical approach under active development—its foundations are in place, and much of it is already familiar. But more remains to be worked out.

Here’s a casual overview.

If needed, cotometism can be rigorous, but it’s not obscure. Most of its ideas make sense when stated plainly. This site is here to show how that works.

This is a reading room. We’ve laid out ideas in pieces: an introduction to the framework, comparisons with other positions and approaches, and a growing glossary of terms. Posts in the blog section share ongoing developments and responses to questions.

There are no calls to action. Nothing to sign up for. Just reading.
