Yes, but I don't think I think about truth the same way as the average

I'll have to look those up sometime.
I should give you fair warning that the first book is definitely from a
Christian perspective. But it also provides a very nice potted history of
epistemology, from Augustine to Polenyi (spelling?).
Morris Kline, on the other hand, I'm almost certain was a secularist.
