Considerationism
Considerationism is a philosophical paradigm (otherwise termed as consideration paradigm) proposed by Wasiu Owolabi (Owolabi, Wasiu Olamilekan), a graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, Nigeria, during his long essay on "An Examination of the Moral Status of the Embryo." (Owolabi, 2017) He initially termed it 'Consideration Ethics' whose general maxim is:

The right act is that which you want people to know, otherwise wrong. When you find yourself in a dilemma, consider 'the primary causes, the present circumstances and the possible consequences of that issue.' These were termed as the 3PCs of Considerationism. The paradigms are to be examined in all cases.

In an essay, published on his blog, cosmotelle.wordpress.com, Wasiu Owolabi writes:

The world is full of controversial issues that arise from different beliefs, doctrines or perceptions. These beliefs are naturally apt in their given situations. This led to one system of thought being regarded as better than another. However, upon reflection, we could realize—mayhap—that they are intertwined, and could bring into existence better conceptions that could fit for the whole instead of conpartmentalized propositions which can be contradicting and thence confusing.

Skepticism, theism, atheism, idealism, realism, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology, naturalism, cosmology, teleology, ontology, etc. are all doctrines classified under various branches of philosophy such as metaphysics, epistemology and ethics. Logic is just the heart of philosophy that guides the propositions and art and science of reasoning of those doctrines.

Either you follow one doctrine or another, it is evident that you are not entirely free even if you’re an atheist. Atheism is an idea or conception used to describe those who believe in the doctrine.

Skepticism is also a conception which gained its popularity in the period of Rene Descartes when he doubted everything that could ever exist either in the mind or in reality. He must have doubted his own mind also. However, he came to the conclusion of his own existence through an inference from his thinking; thus saying: ‘cogito ego sum’ (I think, therefore I exist).

Either way, every conception connots an idea of a thing, and when one believes in that idea, then the idea becomes indoctrinated and whoever follows it, follows a doctrine. Hence, he is not free. Thus, anyone who believe in a doctrine is literally dogmatic.

Rather than getting entangled with different doctrines, I arrive at a stance which is being doctrinal of my own perceptions. I posite—then—that I’m a ‘Considerationist’, reflecting on my idea of CONSIDERATIONISM.

Considerationism is a philosophy that tends to consider various indoctrinations—reflecting on different kinds of belief, thereby positing a probable apt solutions or alternative way of approach to cases, arguments, propositions or ideas of conflicting beliefs and interests.

I am a Considerationist and Considerationism—as an approach—is my philosophy.
