Pryderi Mission Statement
Our Mission and what we strive to do.
It's an idea that is severely challenged in the modern era, the idea of truth. That there exists, outside of subjectivity, a central truth in anything has been challenged by subjectivity, an individual’s truth, and competing narratives. One doesn’t need to look further than the daily slate of news headlines to see the innumerable narratives at work today in modern society. At Pryderi we see this and want to do our part in promoting truth.
The way we think we can approach truth is through a certain type of openness. In his influential book The Closing of the American Mind, author Alan Bloom describes the idea of openness as this: “There are two types of openness, the openness of indifference… and the openness that invites us to the quest for knowledge and certitude.”. Pryderi seeks the type of openness that leads us to truth. We will research and write papers that seek knowledge, truth, and certitude.
