  16. We do not think of the ordinary person as preoccupied with such difficult and profound questions as: • “What is truth?” • “What is authority?” • “To whom should I listen?” • “What counts for me as evidence?” • “How do I know what I know?” • Yet to ask ourselves these questions and to reflect on our answers is more than an intellectual exercise, for our basic assumptions about the nature of truth and reality and the origins of knowledge shape the way we see the world and ourselves as participants in it. • They affect our definitions of ourselves, the way we interact with others, our public and private personae, our sense of control over life events, our views of teaching and learning, and our conceptions of morality.
