"knowledge is only won through doubt"

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Sat, 09/29/2007 - 11:18am.

During our discussion on Thursday, I'd mentioned to my section that the Wilma theater had put on a production of The Life of Galileo in Center city last spring, and that Paul had moderated a panel discussion during the run, entitled "Knowledge is Only Won Through Doubt." In case some of you want to learn more about that version of this story? folk tale? play? see some more opening thoughts and following...

The Wilma is currently mounting a production of Amadeus, and the forum Serendip is hosting about that play also asks a number of questions about the dramatic representation of truth that seem to me quite related to our current class discussions.
