  Epistemology - The Theory of...

  Epistemology, the theory of knowledge, explores the nature, scope, and limits of human understanding. It is concerned with questions such as "What is knowledge?" "How do we acquire it?" and "What can we truly know?" While these questions may seem straightforward, they are deeply complex and have fascinated philosophers for centuries. The study of epistemology is central to philosophy because it examines the very foundation upon which all other knowledge rests. 
  At its core, epistemology is concerned with defining what it means to "know" something. Historically, philosophers have often defined knowledge as "justified true belief." This classic view holds that for someone to know a proposition, it must be true, they must believe it, and they must have sufficient justification for that belief. However, challenges to this definition have led to new theories about knowledge, suggesting that there may be more to understanding than simply having belief grounded in truth. 
  The importance of epistemology extends beyond abstract theory. In daily life, we rely on knowledge to make decisions, solve problems, and navigate our understanding of the world. Whether it is scientific research, moral reasoning, or even personal belief systems, the way we define and assess knowledge influences how we engage with reality. Epistemological questions therefore shape not only philosophical discussions but also practical outcomes in various fields such as education, science, and politics.

  Deceptive Practices - Actions...

  Deception has been a fundamental part of human interaction throughout history, shaping societies, relationships, and institutions. Whether through subtle manipulation, outright lies, or carefully crafted misinformation, deception influences decisions, perceptions, and behaviors in both personal and collective spheres. While often viewed negatively, deception is not always malicious; in some cases, it serves strategic, protective, or even necessary functions. Understanding the role deception plays in society requires examining its various forms, motivations, and consequences. 
  One of the most common areas where deception is prevalent is in personal relationships. People deceive for different reasons, ranging from self-preservation to maintaining social harmony. White lies, for example, are often used to spare feelings or avoid unnecessary conflict, while more harmful deceptions, such as infidelity or emotional manipulation, can cause deep and lasting damage. The complexity of deception in relationships highlights its dual nature—sometimes beneficial, sometimes destructive. 
  Beyond personal interactions, deception extends into professional and institutional environments. In workplaces, deceptive practices can manifest as misleading job descriptions, false performance evaluations, or office politics designed to manipulate outcomes. Deception in business, such as false advertising or hidden fees, can mislead consumers, erode trust, and cause financial harm. Similarly, political deception—through propaganda, misinformation, and strategic framing of facts—shapes public opinion, influencing elections, policies, and societal norms.

  Dividing Lines - How...

  Deborah N. Archer

  Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
   
   
   
  As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.
