@m_j_hannon It's always struck me as weird that "value theory" includes both thinking how to live and thinking what evaluative words mean - two very different things. Epistemology seems to involve a bit of both.

Epistemology is value theory! Though I could never convince search committees of this fact when I was applying for jobs. And metaphysics is still hocus pocus.
