Guilty Confession of My Passion

Love makes me insane. Sanity is only good for those who think a lot, but insanity for me is where the passion resides and is prominent over reason. Yes! I am insane, insanely in love. Yes! I am to let the whole world know. For what exists in me is only known to myself and it dies along with me as I die  too. But letting the whole world know, well not only the love is known to me and her, but the world shall triumphantly rejoice over the happy union and all they must they do is to accept, if they cannot, then the hell we care!

Burden of Omniscience, Error and Dialectics of Knowledge

Introduction             Epistemology is one of the disciplines of philosophy that is also verily tied up with Metaphysics that remained as what Kant would say, ‘an endless battle of controversies’. [1] It was the Ancient ordeal to arrive at truth thus what we deem knowledge but the problem stems that every new epistemic theory that arises, it is always challenged thereafter. An epistemic theory thus functions as assistance or a framework wherein we can arrive at knowledge but sooner or later it will always be proven wrong or lacking. Yet even in the falsification of these epistemic theories, man has always claimed to know and for that what then is knowing? That has been one of the aporias that has never been absolutely resolved.  We cannot find a final definition of knowing and even knowledge that will cease the debate once and for all.  Therefore, epistemology is still yet a discipline that has to be settled. ...
