Editology
1
1 From Wikipedia :
The editology (in French: éditologie) is the epistemological
system developed by the Belgian philosopher Jean C. Baudet. The
main characteristic of the editology is to define the knowledge as

a set of texts, discourses (and thus terms), and to assign the
scientificity of those texts to the very conditions of their edition –
the manner they are accepted by the international scientific
community. We can say that the editology has two purposes:

understand the terms (terminology) and analyze the edition
(editology sensu stricto). This philosophical approach leads to a
conception of the knowledge (an truth) which admits that the hard

core of rationalism (logic) is the epistemological complex STI
(Science-Technics-Industry). An important consequence of the
editological thought is to establish an historical critic of the
successive discourses which characterize the milestones of the

human thinking: literature, religion, and later philosophy. In that
sense, the philosophy is defined as a discourse rejecting all the
discourses. Indeed, we can say that the philosophy began with

Thales of Milet, when he threw back all the traditions. The
editology is an historical epistemology, quite based on the practice
of history of science, of religions, and of other cultural

productions.

2 By Richard Smith
Editology is an English word that is found in no English
dictionaries for the simple reason that it was invented by the

Chinese. English language purists might complain, but one
consequence of English becoming a universal language is that
people whose first language is not English will invent English
words themselves. Editology is the study of the science of editing.
