Welcome to the World Networking Podcast [WNP] today! I really am happy to see you here and willing to join us for another short philosophical talk!
Today, we dive into Epistemology - the study of knowledge!
Resource I used to help me understand epistemology: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/philosophy/research/themes/epistemology
Resource I used to gather the quotes commonly founded in the book "A Ring of Endless Light": https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1234050-a-ring-of-endless-light?page=1
With this topic in mind, I spent the time looking at this episode from a new perspective I had 0 knowledge about!
I found this amazing person in my search: Madeleine L'engle is this amazing author who happened to have written the book of topic, "A Ring of Endless Light".
She wrote this book 17 years into her career and it was released in 1980! She was born in 1918 and lived to be 88 years old (she has since passed in 2007) She had written literatures starting at the young age of 5! She was born in the US around North East (NY area) but ended up going elsewhere for studies in Europe!
She was a talented writer who focused her efforts on making content having to do with Epistemology like thoughts in general. She was highly interested in intellectual matters. She was a strong theist and believed in the power behind good writing. I have some quotes today from her book "A Ring of Endless Light" that I felt were powerful and spoke to me as a fellow thinker / writer / poet myself.
1. - “It's hard to let go anything we love. We live in a world which teaches us to clutch. But when we clutch we're left with a fistful of ashes.”
2. - “And there's no getting around the fact that all life lives at the expense of another life.”
3. - “There is in God, some say, a deep but dazzling darkness.”
4. - “You know when you cut yourself really badly, it doesn't hurt for a while. You don't feel anything. Death- our reaction to death- is sort of like that. You don't feel anything at all. And then, later on, you begin to hurt.”
I found this to be a huge amount of new knowledge I had never known about before making this episode today! I really hope you guys can continue to share in this wonderful journey with me as we continue to dare adventures from the world of philosophy!
