We humans love to understand how beliefs are formed, how they are justified, and how we can distinguish genuine knowledge from mere opinion.
Following the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, this blog approaches these questions through the practice of inquiry. For Peirce, truth is not whatever an individual happens to believe, nor is it something we possess with absolute certainty. Truth is the opinion that inquiry would ultimately converge upon if investigation were carried far enough under ideal conditions. Our beliefs may always be revised, but reality constrains inquiry in such a way that persistent investigation tends toward truth.
From this perspective, knowledge is not a finished possession but an ongoing, communal, and self-correcting endeavor.
