Maggie Nelson Quotes
I love language. It doesn't bother me that its effects are partial. To me that is very sanity-producing.

That would be much scarier to me than language being an inadequate tool to represent.

Epistemology now flourishes with various complementary approaches. This includes formal epistemology, experimental philosophy, cognitive science and psychology, including relevant brain science, and other philosophical subfields, such as metaphysics, action theory, language, and mind.

We still need to reason our way together to a better view of those issues.
