The theory of knowledge that recognizes all knowing happens within a bounded sandbox—the limits of human cognition, language, culture, and perception. We cannot know what's outside the sandbox; we can only know within it. But within those bounds, we can build sophisticated knowledge structures, test them against experience, and agree intersubjectively on what works. Epistemological Sandboxism rejects both the arrogance of claiming access to absolute truth and the despair of claiming nothing can be known. The sandbox is real, and so is our knowledge of it—even if it's not the whole universe.
