If you can make a statement in a formal system that cannot be proved or disproved with that system, it is incomplete. The system requiring consistency is the problem.

Implication: Philosophy cannot be both consistent and also complete as you can’t use the philosophy to prove or disprove that the philosophy is both consistent and complete.
 
You need a meta philosophy or a different philosophy to do so, which is outside of that philosophy, which renders that philosophy incomplete as it can’t check its own whole self. Only another can.
