Ergo Sum is a podcast about… philosophy. Mostly.

No, ummm…

Ok. Bear with me.

euristic, adjective. - enabling a person to discover or learn something for themselves.

The word ‘heuristic’ has different definitions in different fields and industries. Before we explore the ways I mean it; do any of you guys use it professionally?

Fittingly, the word, like the story we're outlining, starts with the ancient greek/pre-greek;

/heu̯.rís.kɔː/ → /eˈβris.ko/ → /eˈvris.ko/

I happen upon by chance, find

I find out, discover

I acquire, fetch, obtain

So a heuristic tool or device is a construct to better our odds of happening upon, of discovering, of acquiring knowledge or understanding.

What I mean, for our purposes, is that the podcast itself has become a tool to help me learn and do philosophy.
