The naming of things

category Category: NaBloPoMo 2007 | comment | Tags: None

Last week was a good week for naming things.  On top of the PolkaDotWitch’s excellent comment naming the distinction between the personal and the private, my friend Lucas (incidentally working for his PhD in Philosophy) had the perfect name for the epistemology I follow: I am a hypocritical skeptic.  I “believe you can’t really know anything, but I don’t act that way.”  It’s too bad he isn’t interested in being a philosopher, he would have a lot of interesting things to add to the conversation of ideas, but he will be an excellent teacher.
