Epistemic Writing

Writing enables us to find out what we know – and don’t know – about whatever subject we are exploring, including ourselves. With each stroke of the pen an idea takes shape and becomes clearer. Mark Strand, a Canadian poet, describes the act of writing poetry as one of self-discovery: “What I want to do in a poem is discover what it is that I have to say.”

.

Epistemology is the theory of the methods of knowledge. Therefore, epistemic writing is writing that aids in thinking, learning, and self-knowledge. This approach considers writing to be a form of thinking. We suggest that writing is an important means not only of expressing thought, but of discovering new ideas and reformulating them. In this sense, then, writing is thinking and thinking is writing.

Many people keep journals, for many reasons…. We each have our reasons for writing – self-guidance, personal growth and the realization of our creative and leadership potential. Journalling can “help you to understand your past, discover joy in the present, and create your own future”.

Postlude:

I wonder no more why I write. Future, I am creating you while discovering my present joy and understanding who I was. I am gone… writing.
