Canadian Social Values Shape Perceptions of Reality

Johnny, yes, your humble servant here, also starts with axiology, not ontology or epistemology. We seek what we value. In other words, values make us deductive, selective in our pursuit of facts and our ways to know them. Strictly, in formal philosophy, we are supposed to start with reality, ontology, study it (epistemology), and then construct our values (axiology) from the science of it. In reality, most of the time it is axiology that leads the charge.
