Years ago, I took a single class on epistemology (the study of truth). I remember thinking it was the most important class I took at uni. The lessons have stuck. This week's post is about the four theories of truth, and how you may use it to think better:

How learning and using the four theories of truth can help us become better thinkers, better practitioners, and (hopefully!) better writers.

What has been most interesting for me, writing this, was the observation that pragmatism is still relatively underused as a method of reasoning. And also — ironically — while the philosophy of pragmatism emerged in the US, it was Singapore who perfected it.

(Or rather Singapore who lived longest with it). Consequently, Singaporean thinkers are the ones who are most familiar with its problems. I don't spend much time in my piece on the problems of pragmatism, but I think I wouldn't have known about them without living in SG.
