Philosophy, Algorithm, Method

The central role of algorithms in the writing of computer programs is well-recognized.  Now, defined as 'a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations', an Algorithm, in the context of the writing of a Philosophical program, is better known as a Method.  So, Modern Philosophy, the original work of which is the Discourse on Method, with the subsequent proliferation of competing Methods, e. g. Rationalism, Empiricism, Phenomenology, Dialecticism, etc., can be interpreted as a species of Programming.  That Philosophical Pluralism seems to be appreciated by Wittgenstein, in #133 of the Investigations, when he observes that "there is not a philosophical method, though there are indeed methods".  However, earlier in #133, his assertion that "the clarity that we are aiming at is indeed complete clarity" indicates that his Method, like Russell's, remains Analysis, regardless of his later divergences.
