Metaphilosophy

Metaphilosophy, also called the philosophy of philosophy, investigates philosophy's nature, aims, boundaries, and methods. It asks what philosophy is, what questions it should address, how it can pose and answer them, and what it can achieve. Some regard it as prior and preparatory to philosophy, while others see it as part of philosophy. Its explicit development as a domain arose in the 20th century, though the topic is much older.
