Switching gears to philosophy that is much more than entertainment

If Dr. Esther Meek keeps her promise, this is the first of five installments on epistemology. I have been greatly enjoying her book, Longing to Know. If you are wondering what it might have to offer, this series seems like a good way to get a taste.

While I haven’t finished the book, Wayne leads me to believe I will not be disappointed. He wrote:

Cookies, Milk, & Michael Polanyi

Here’s something I’ve wanted to mention for some time now. Last year I read Esther Meek’s book Longing to Know and I thought it was simply tremendous. Imagine your loving mother sitting you down at the kitchen table for a talk over a plate of warm cookies and a tall glass of milk. As you begin to listen to her, you slowly realize that in all of her warm, sensible, motherly wisdom, she’s actually channeling Lesslie Newbigin, Michael Polanyi, and John Frame.

Enjoy!
