Thoughts on the Literature Review and GT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Thinking about epistemic questions always reminds me of Socrates’ cave allegory. In Plato's most famous book, The Republic, Socrates talks to a young follower named Glaucon. I would like to include here a short excerpt of their conversation and discuss how this relates to my thoughts about preceding a classic GT study with a thorough literature review.
