He achieved this by conducting thorough, careful, sensitive, and yet transformational readings of philosophical and literary texts, to determine what aspects of those texts run counter to their apparent systematicity ( structural unity ) or intended sense ( authorial genesis ).

His most recent book " Systematicity : The Nature of Science " is devoted to the question of the nature of science ( including the social sciences and humanities ) and develops the thesis that scientific knowledge is primarily distinguished from other forms of knowledge by being more systematic.

In a 2007 study of graduate students, Kwon, Onwuegbuzie and Alexander found that " weak critical thinking dispositions in the areas of self-confidence, inquisitiveness and systematicity were particularly associated with high levels of library anxiety .

The second reason for the assumption is the systematicity in the development of the letter inventory : there were three archaic letters that dropped out of use in alphabetic writing ( " koppa ", and san ), and three extra-alphabetic letters were adopted for the Milesian numeral system, two of them obviously identical with the archaic digamma and koppa; hence, it is easy to assume that the third in the set had the same history.

The impressive scope of the book owes to the fact that Ahmed is very deliberately a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary scholar "-he questions whether there is " a clear and feasible notion of systematicity " that is " applied methodologically to the resolution of the identified crises .

In a review in " Teaching Philosophy ", Irfan Khawaja says, " Gotthelf s illuminating account of Rand s epistemology offers an intriguing point of entry . . . as well as an object lesson on the relationship between epistemology and ethics . . . " On Ayn Rand " is a remarkable success . . . I can t think of a piece of writing that better conveys both the systematicity and the grandeur of Rand s thought than the last four pages of Gotthelf s book . " Rand enthusiast and accountancy scholar Edward W . Younkins also praised the work, calling it a " fine " but shorter version of Objectivist philosopher Leonard Peikoff's book about Rand's philosophy.
