Philosophical Tools for Zettelkasten
Today, I asked myself if there are any philosophical tools that could be useful for my Zettelkasten. Here's the result of my research:
I'm an engineer and a data scientist. Are there any philosophers on this forum who can prove whether Ekkehard Martens' Five-Finger Model works well in our context?

Do you have access to the primary source? I could only find secondary sources.
It seems to me that this is not a philosophical tool, but a didactic tool to teach philosophical thinking. That doesn't mean that this is not useful in other contexts.
If I am correct that the leading model is a pedagogical model I feel that it might be a good tool to develop good thinking habits.

I also started with secondary sources. I have just ordered his book, though.
It's a tool designed for children. It may also be helpful for engineers. 😉

For sure! I put this tool in the same category as the idea compass and added it to the collection of heuristics/checklists for exploring and working ideas.

The initial idea came from Ekkehard Martens' Five-Finger Model. Building on his five steps and adding two more, the Zettelkasten process seems to provide a framework for critical thinking and analytical reasoning, "The Zettelkasten Inquiry Cycle":
