Volume 1 • Issue 2 • 2025 • Foundations of Foundational Foundations
This foundational issue establishes the fundamental theoretical groundwork for meta-theoretical analysis within tautological research paradigms. The comprehensive collection of papers explores recursive theoretical frameworks, archaeological investigation of methodological history, and the sociological dynamics of isolated scholarly communities. Contributors examine circular citation networks, epistemological investigations of self-aware knowledge, and the complex theoretical structures that underlie foundational academic principles. This issue provides the essential theoretical infrastructure for understanding how foundational concepts establish their own foundations through recursive academic validation, while developing comprehensive frameworks for meta-theoretical investigation of theoretical investigation itself.
