    Challenges→Mutual perspective taking is required for adjudicating conflicts over the interpretation of behavior in social practices.

    Key Terms

    Normative order(what epistemology is supposed to establish)
    The hierarchy or ranking of what's considered better or worse, or how things should be according to what we value.
    Perspective-taking(as contrasted with other forms of empathy)
    The ability to imagine what life looks like from someone else's point of view or to understand how they see a situation.
    Post-hoc rationalization(as used in epistemology and psychology)
    When you come up with a logical explanation for something *after* it already happened, rather than that logic being the real reason it happened in the first place.
    community agreement(one possible source of meaning)
    The idea that the people in a group have collectively decided (usually without explicitly saying so) what something means or how to do it.

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    grounded in(whether distinctness or identity is explained by intrinsic features)
    To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
    inter-subjective negotiation(contrasted as an alternative source of meaning)
    Back-and-forth communication between individuals where they actively work out and agree on what something means together, in the moment.
    meaning in social practices(as the subject being analyzed)
    The shared understanding of what actions, words, or rituals are supposed to do or represent within a group—like how a handshake means 'greeting' because everyone in your culture agrees it does.
    training(another source of meaning alongside community agreement)
    The process of learning to behave or think in certain ways through repeated practice and habituation, often without being explicitly taught the underlying rules.
