Pointillism in philosophy in a way reassembles the art form whereby a picture is formed by individual dots. In philosophy Doel refers to pointillism as a method to define the world according to fixed laws and theories within closely defined ‘borders’ better known as a theory. These theories (or points according to pointillism) are then all linked together as in a network (or picture) by means of their commonalities, oppositions, additions, exclusions etc.. It resembles structuralism and the ontology of being in many ways.
Post-structuralism in a way is concerned with unraveling these connections and points. Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida and Jean-François Lyotard have done much to unravel pointillism (Doel, 2000, P. 120).
