Not only must our beliefs be connected with reality in order to pursue what is true, but our "plausibility structure" must permit us to freely pursue what is true.
Klaus observes in his recent Musing that "Our plausibility structures—what we consider to be plausible or possible—can limit our search for truth since we will not expend much effort considering or exploring ideas we do not regard as possibly true."
Notice how plausibility structures are related to effort or the endeavor of our will.
Furthermore, isn't it interesting how growing in confidence is related to the role of our plausibility structure. If the plausibility structure doesn't permit pursuit of what is true, how can a person grow in confidence of what is true.
Our formation - indeed, our transformation - is not accidental; it is intended to live off of truth and confide in the plausible and the actual.
