mondays article

Im not sure if I walked away with an understanding of what the author was going for in this article or if I took him to be saying something that was just more preferable to me. It seemed to me that the article was claiming that an individuals understanding of the world is built upon her beliefs about the world. Some beliefs are deeply entrenched and thus form a central feature of our "world-making" while others are less entrenched and easier to replace for beliefs that fit better. We can't know the truth in a sense of objective truth it is just out of our reach. Instead what we know is truths about the various worlds which we prescribe to. The world is made and discovered through our examination of "reality" through our coherence of beliefs. We only know things in so far as they cohere with our "world", as apposed to actually knowing some objective truth.
