Big shifts often begin with a focused idea. Insights on Knowing is our collection of short stories, sharp observations, and practical wisdom designed to make the unseen mechanics of work and life visible. It is published by Research on Knowing LLC.
Research on Knowing puts practical epistemology to work. Epistemology is the theory of knowledge, “especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope” (OxfordLanguages). It asks what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.
Just as the telescope opened the stars and the microscope unlocked invisible worlds, new tools, software, and shifted perspectives make the hidden visible. Each entry here makes one point that stands on its own. Together they build, block by block, a clearer and more intentional way to learn, reason, and create.
Where to start. Begin with Foundations of Knowing, which lays out the basic ideas. Experience and Understanding explores how we feel, perceive, and reason. Applied Insights shows these ideas at work in the world. You can browse all the groups at any time. The projects that apply these ideas are on the Research on Knowing site.
Thank you for joining us. We hope your discoveries here will be enlightening.
