The Liberal Soul

Ep. 35 - The Constitution of Knowledge - Part 1


Listen Later

This is part one of a two parter on the book The Constitution of Knowledge by Jonathan Rauch. This book is about how we socially gather knowledge, and how it is distributed and adhered to in what Rauch calls the reality based community. I conceived of this book as being related to the liberal soul in the idea that knowledge is about disconfirmation; thus is something we only have provisionally, but still with degrees of certainty. This formulation always allows for further work to be done without ever having a final goal of knowledge. 

In part one I discuss different backgrounds to Rauch's conception of the Consitution of Knowledge, and what it stands to give us in life (hint: knowledge, freedom and peace). Enjoy!
