Description

This week we get a chance to interview Nick Nugent of the Undefined Terms podcast. Nick's background in law gives him a unique insight into an issue plaguing discourse in our society, undefined terms. Most of our language and daily conversation relies heavily on a shared understanding of words and context. But what happens when your definition of a touchy subject does not match with the person you are speaking to? The conversation is doomed to failure and there is a strong chance that the misunderstanding could lead to even more. What started out as a talk on epistemology, the study of justified belief, ended up focusing on one major component of belief. Until we are using the same language to describe the same things, any belief in another's words will be unjustified.
