Episteme

Episteme started, as such things do, when two friends start talking about things they like and they can't stop. We aren't academics, though we are found of the academy, but like to discuss all the things we learned through our many years at school and how we apply them in life.

It went something like this: Late last year, Kim was getting ready to take her final exam in literature and Dawn (who wasn’t) volunteered to steer Kim through hundreds of pages of notes she needed to know well to pass. It was a daunting task, sure, but Dawn, thinking she knows a little about everything, started asking questions (about tragedy and Hamlet) and those questions (about humanity’s basic paradox) led to more questions (what the hell does it all mean?) and yes, Kim did pass her test. But both had many questions left unresolved.

This blog is an attempt to quantify our knowledge but to do it in a way that's interesting and unassuming. We are not scholars, we don’t pretend to be, and we want people to help us by sharing their knowledge. And because we’re doing this from two different countries (Dawn in the United States; Kim in Mexico), we think the whole time/space aspect will make it rather interesting as well. So, what do you think?
