Sumario:The article focuses on language of unhealthy human relationships, philosophy and unknowability might be said to be enmeshed with one another and enmeshment has partly to do with philosophy's preoccupation with epistemology, or theory of knowledge. It also mentions David Hume concerning inability to justify a belief so pivotal as to be presumed in all claims about the objective world.
