According to a heavily-flagged article in Wikipedia, Meta-epistemology is a metaphilosophical study of the subject, matter, methods and aims of epistemology and of approaches to understanding and structuring our knowledge of knowledge itself.
Put more simply, meta-epistemology might be meta-meta, right? That would make metaphilosophical (sic) meta-meta-meta, or what we think about what we think about what we think about things. Again right?
By the way, all these “meta” words should be hyphenated. One exception appears to be metacognition, which may be hyphenated or not, I’m guessing for no good meta-reason.
Welcome
This blog is less than an experiment, and it isn't about anything.
It's about about-ness—the thing of the thing, not the thing itself.
Hence "meta"—what one thinks about what one thinks about.
And what one thinks about what one thinks about what one thinks about.
And so on.
