Abstract

Wokeism is a doctrina (doctrine) of knowledge, reason and belief within U.S. society, about U.S. society, taught by scholars (doctors) and teachers to their students. Currently there exists three definitions of wokeism in dictionaries. Currently there exists no scholarly peer-reviewed articles in science or philosophy on the theory of wokeism. Interestingly, there does exist 170 articles in various publications talking about wokeism by scholars. Since there is no current definition or subject in philosophy of the subject of wokeism, it is either impossible or intellectually dishonest to have a reasoned argument including the word wokeism by any doctor of philosophy. This paper establishes a scholarly definition of wokeism, as well as possible branches of philosophy to develop understanding of this subject and doctrine.
