Burgy, if you'll please take it as not derogatory, but rather as encouraging and meant as positively illustrative, the phrase 'work in progress' is one of the prime examples of 'process philosophy.' No beginning and no end - banish teleology and origins - the day one is born, baptised and/or confirmed matter not.
The 'buffet'-style situtation of post-modernism (truths), and Protestant sectarianism (e.g. in contrast to the almost-State-Church, where I now live) likewise represents the western deteriorisation of 'philosophy' (love of Sophia), which is too-conveniently voiced as will-to-freedom.
"None of the philosophical positions seem to be of any lasting importance." - Burgy
"Philosophy: Who Needs It?" - Ayn Rand
