Interview with author and philosopher Esther Lightcap Meek and key players in the unfolding story of Meek’s Longing to Know (Brazos, 2003), in honor of the book's twentieth anniversary. This conversation: Two of my most brilliant students share what it was like for them to undergo serious epistemological therapy—as a twosome. Josh served as TA and tutor for me, and now teaches my Critical Thinking class as he works toward a PhD in philosophy. Hear Josh ponder knowing from the perspective of computer science. Hear Molly share dealing with shyness and her spiritual journey.

Longing to Know: The Philosophy of Knowledge for Ordinary People (Brazos, 2003) is a transformative book about how we go about knowing in every area of our lives. It's especially for people considering Christianity who have issues around faith and reason, certainty and doubt. The book's playful "driving analogy" is that "Knowing God is like knowing your auto mechanic." Check out Meek's work at www.estherlightcapmeek.com
