A Just Plumbline: Building a Correct Ethical System

The Truth about Truth: Epistemology and Perspectives

Part two of an introduction to epistemology! When we talk about what is true, in any realm (science, politics, ethics), we must be justified and certain of our truths.

Talking about Truth: Epistemology and Perspectives

The sub discipline of philosophy called epistemology is key to our acquisition of knowledge. When we talk about what is true, in any realm (science, politics, ethics), we must be justified and certain of our truths.

Today we overview this discipline and get straight into things. With topics of evolution, free will and more, the Piouspodium takes on the philosophy of Materialism and shows its inadequacy against the Christian understanding of reality.
