Informed, part 2 - Me

Theme: the reality-based individual - This is part 2 of 3 discussions.

In the current disinformation wars, each person may also have to *defend* their knowledge against attacks. All this falls under the branch of philosophy known as epistemology, or epistemics - which is a theme in Rauch’s book. This is the ‘Me’ part. We will explore some points from the book, as well as the other resources listed. Reading the book is not a requirement to join us.

The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth by Jonathan Rauch - book link below. In Session 1 we discussed the first half, and now in Session 2 we now discuss the second half (chapters 5-8).
