I'm thinking that "frameworks" are an INTP forte, but it always have been rigidly defined by Ti (logic). I was wondering, did any of you INTP people here have used "frameworks" as a means of underlying concepts not normally encompassed by logic (e.g., feelings, spirituality), etc. I'm not necessarily implying coercing yourself to be sensitive or spiritual, but just applying the framework to understand such concepts.
Existentialist writers were mostly either INTJs or INFJs. The core of this school of thought is that we must embrace the meaninglessness of life and no longer contemplate this question further.
The Introverted Intuitive mind easily gravitates towards such ideas because the agenda of their primary function is very abstract. Yet their most relied upon judging function, which is either the auxiliary Extroverted Feeling or Extroverted Thinking is much too impoverished to fulfill the aforementioned agenda because it tends to utilize a rather superficial and conventional standard. Employment of tertiary Introverted Judgment is necessary to mitigate the issue. As this is the only faculty capably of properly assessing and bringing to a closure, the highly abstract vision of Introverted Intuition. The Introverted Intuitive type incurs great problems in this endeavor because his Introverted Judgment is often not strong enough to achieve this.
So to find their meaning in life, the Existentialists or the Introverted Intuitionists rely strictly on their Introverted Intuition. What results is a vision that we must simply embrace the abstract notion of meaninglessness, yet have such an intellectual conclusion inadvertently lead us to meaning in life.
This is so because Introverted Intuition gives insight not in a form of definite and intelligible terms, but in amorphous hunches which require a sound abstract thinking faculty, which is Introverted Judgment, to decipher.
INTPs do have such a faculty indeed, and for this reason their affinity with Existentialism tends to be low. The INTP by contrast will have a worldview where a very thorough and precise outlook on life is both possible and desirable which in turn will lead to much inner peace. If by their method this has not been achieved, often self-confessedly, for the very least, the INTP will lay down the groundwork for such an accomplishment or give us a reason to hope that this may be done. INTP spirituality is best represented in a lifestyle devoted to mollification of the mind through clarity and intensity of thought. Spinoza's Ethics is the most distinct artifact to represent this phenomenon, where we find a brilliantly argued thesis in favor of possibility of a system explaining the ebb and flow of the entire universe (where Einstein's famous dictum 'God does not play dice' had its birth), as well as that the other world, if it is to be reached at all, it is through profundity and intensity of thought. This is also represented in lives of Aristotle, Thoreau and Jung, these examples are inspiring and well known to the point where I could spare myself further elaboration.
