Second versus, same as the firstus.

Epistemologies are fun. Until someone challenges yours. Then it gets
oddly personal. The question of what constitutes "truth" or fact to a
person seems to be among the more closely-held beliefs. Right up there
with religious preference (or lack thereof) and sexuality.

My copy of Blackwell's dictionary of modern social thought is a well-
worn tome. And I still don't understand ****. But it gives me lots of
stuff to think about when I run or fish.

inclusiveness. I think.)
